Principal Data Architect - Manager

Job Purpose

Lead the design and implementation of the Risk AI Platform (Risk OS) by establishing a scalable data, semantic, and integration architecture that connects multiple AI-driven business applications through a common data layer, governance framework, metadata strategy, and shared services model. The role will define the target-state architecture for AI applications, Snowflake-based data assets, APIs, and enterprise integrations while ensuring solutions are production-ready, audit-ready, compliant, and aligned to enterprise technology standards.

The architect will serve as a hands-on technical leader, bridging business teams building AI applications with IT, infrastructure, security, and data teams to accelerate industrialization and deployment of AI solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Define and evolve the enterprise architecture for the Risk AI Platform, including data models, semantic models,
  
  

metadata standards, integration patterns, API strategy, and shared data services across multiple AI

applications.

• Design and implement a unified data architecture leveraging Snowflake as the central data layer, enabling
  
  

reuse of common datasets, APIs, business entities, risk opinions, assessments, and historical records across

applications.

• Establish metadata, governance, lineage, and semantic standards using enterprise data governance practices
  
  

and tools such as Collibra to improve interoperability, discoverability, and consistency of data assets.
