We have an urgent requirement for an experienced Information Data Architect to join a global organisation operating within the Life Sciences sector. This is a unique opportunity to play a crucial role in the concurrent running and harmonisation of multiple systems as the organisation transitions to a new system.

Responsibilities:

• Ensure data integrity and analytics remain unaffected throughout the transition.

• Contribute to ground-level projects related to the company’s system migration, with a particular focus on finance-related projects within the data domain.

• Provide expert guidance on the evolution of SAP systems, specifically the migration from ECC6 to S/4HANA. Work closely with the data engineering team to ensure changes at the source align with the enterprise data model.

• Engage in data modelling activities and collaborate with other Information Architects and platform teams to ensure data objects are aligned within the conceptual enterprise data model.

• Offer guidance on system changes, data architecture, and data object alignment. Be prepared to get hands-on with the technology, troubleshoot issues, and ensure smooth transitions.

• Collaborate with stakeholders at various levels to understand project requirements, system changes, and their impact on data architecture.

• Utilise your coding background and architectural experience to understand system-level changes and provide practical, technical solutions. Collaborate with traditional system engineers, asking the right questions and getting involved in the technical details as needed.

Skills & experience required:

• Proven experience as an Information Data Architect, ideally within the Life Sciences sector.

• Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to communicate effectively at all levels of the organisation.

• Extensive experience with SAP Finance, specifically in the transition from ECC6 to S/4HANA.

• In-depth understanding of data modelling, enterprise data models, and data architecture principles.

• Experience guiding engineering teams through complex system transitions.

• Ability to work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and manage multiple projects simultaneously.

• Familiarity with traditional systems and legacy technologies within large enterprises.
