Google Enterprise Data Platform Architect

We have an immediate need for an EDP Data Architect The EDP Data Architect is a senior, hands-on contract role responsible for the enterprise data architecture, modeling standards, and conformed data model across the Enterprise Data Platform (EDP). EDP is built fully on Google Cloud Platform on a medallion architecture and supports both the migration of workloads from our legacy on-premises EDW and the build-out of net-new enterprise data products across marketing, customer, and other business domains. The Data Architect operates at the enterprise level, defining and maintaining the standards, canonical model, and governance architecture that solution architects and engineering teams build against.

This role sits within the Platform Enablement team and is the counterpart to the workstream-level Solution Architect roles: where Solution Architects apply platform standards within a given use case, the Data Architect sets and owns those standards across the platform. The role works closely with data engineers, solution architects, and data governance stakeholders, and is central to standing up consumption gold layer, the platform’s data catalog and data product marketplace.

Required Qualifications

·         8–10+ years of data architecture experience with demonstrated enterprise-scope ownership, not single-project or single-domain scope.

·         Hands-on Google Cloud Platform experience with deep, direct BigQuery expertise — partitioning and clustering strategy, dimensional design, performance and cost optimization, and dataset-level access control.

·         Proven ownership of a canonical / conformed enterprise data model and of dimensional (star schema) modeling standards used across multiple consuming teams.

·         Experience designing data governance architecture — metadata, classification, ownership, and lineage — as technical implementation rather than policy alone.

·         Hands-on experience with a data catalog or metadata management platform such as Dataplex, Collibra, or Alation.

·         Track record of setting and enforcing standards across multiple teams through reference patterns and lightweight review rather than heavy approval gates.

·         Able to operate independently at an architect level in a contract engagement and establish credibility and direction quickly.

Preferred Qualifications

·         Experience on a large-scale EDW-to-cloud migration, particularly to Google Cloud Platform and BigQuery.

·         Retail, e-commerce, or consumer domain experience.

·         Familiarity with medallion or lakehouse layer design and conformed-dimension strategies in a cloud data warehouse.

·         Experience standing up or maturing a data catalog or data product marketplace, including certification or trust-tier models.

·         Exposure to data product operating models covering product, business, and technical ownership of data assets.
