Position Overview:

The Data Architect is responsible for defining, cultivating, and driving a vision that will reshape the way we all utilize the mountains of data available to our stakeholders.

Both external and internal stakeholders need to make data-driven decisions. A unified strategy for extracting, storing, and reporting on the data is necessary for everyone to quickly and accurately answer their own questions without assistance. Some examples include:

• Customers: Governance features such as Audit Trail, TLS version usage, last-accessed information, and platform-wide usage (to demonstrate our value)
• Business: platform usage trends such as active user growth rates
• Engineers: Feature usage such as field counts

Today, a small percentage of this information is available via disparate, aging, slow technologies. A modern, unified approach is needed.

Responsibilities:

• Closely and continuously partner with all departments to determine and prioritize high level use cases. Drive lower-level use cases with the appropriate teams.
• Drive an efficient design behind the data storage and reporting required to satisfy those use cases. This includes technology decisions, PoC’s, RFP’s, etc.
• Shepherd key attitudes such as Single Source of Truth and Customer First
• Implement and co-implement the required technology and services
• Define and measure key outcomes. Adjust accordingly.
• Ensure the implementations will perform as desired. A clear understanding of our current and future use cases is key
• Define and protect a set of principles to ensure we value things such as:
  
  • Customer-first attitude
  • Single source of truth
  • Unified reporting
  • Self-service
  • Collect everything now, figure out what to analyze later
• Keep up with industry standards and trends; cascade information as appropriate
