We are seeking a Data Solutions Architect to provide architectural oversight and establish standards, governance, and frameworks for Azure-based data solutions. The role will involve working closely with internal stakeholders, development teams (both internal and offshore), and enterprise cloud services to ensure all solutions are aligned to strategic data principles.

This role is focused on application integration (APIs, messaging, event-driven design, orchestration, Azure integration services) - not on Data Warehouse, BI, or Analytics architecture.

The ideal candidate will have:

• Proven experience as a Data / Solutions Architect in large, complex enterprise environments.
• Strong expertise in Microsoft Azure, including integration services (Logic Apps, Event Grid/Event Bus, Data Factory, Service Bus).
• Experience defining enterprise-grade standards, patterns, and governance frameworks.
• Strong understanding of data integration, data quality, and master data management principles.
• Ability to provide guidance and oversight to development teams (internal and offshore).
• Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to influence and drive consistency.

This is a delivery-focused role, responsible for shaping architectural practices, embedding standards, and enabling teams to deliver high-quality data and integration solutions.
