Nordic Investin is recruiting a Lead Data Architect on behalf of one of our partner companies. You can create a coherent data direction without pretending every domain should use the same model, platform or pace of change. You will define architecture principles, guide platform choices and help domains establish data products with clear responsibility. Provenance, quality, access and evaluation belong in the solution from the beginning. Solutions should be designed for repeatable delivery, monitored use and responsible change after deployment. This is a leadership role with hands on responsibility for direction, decisions and the capability of others. You will create enough structure for teams to move independently, while stepping into detail when risk or ambiguity demands it. What you will do

Define target data architecture and staged transition plans. Clarify ownership, contracts and interoperability across domains. Guide warehouse, lakehouse, streaming and operational data patterns. Embed governance, privacy and lifecycle requirements in designs. Review major initiatives and resolve cross team dependencies. Communicate investment choices to technical and executive audiences. What you will bring

Extensive data engineering or architecture experience. Experience designing across analytics and operational use cases. Understanding of governance, privacy and security. Ability to influence distributed teams without centralising every decision. Experience that would add value

Data mesh or federated governance in practice. AI platform architecture. Large migration or merger integration experience. A background that can succeed here

You may have led data platforms, enterprise architecture or complex transformation programmes. What makes the opportunity interesting

The role offers organisation wide influence and access to consequential investment decisions. You will help create a data environment that can support current reporting needs and the next generation of intelligent products. Nordic Investin will make sure you understand the context, expectations and decision path before you are asked to commit significant time. You do not need every optional technology if your core experience transfers and you can explain how you would close the gap. Nordic Investin welcomes candidates with different routes into technology and assesses applicants on relevant capability, judgement and potential.
