Data Architect
PizzaExpress
Every pizza we serve, booking we take and loyalty reward we issue creates data. We want to turn it into insight people can trust, and lay the groundwork for AI.
As our Data Architect, you'll design how data works across the Pizza Express, Milano and Houston Hot Chicken estate. You'll set the models, standards and patterns our engineering and analytics teams build on. It's a group-wide role with real influence over the platform's direction.
What you'll do
- Own our enterprise data architecture and keep it aligned with business priorities.
- Set standards and reusable patterns across our Snowflake platform.
- Design dimensional models and reusable data products with consistent definitions.
- Own our layered architecture, from raw data through to business-ready data.
- Review designs and steer delivery teams and partners towards scalable, cost-effective solutions.
- Shape the platform roadmap, including dbt, orchestration tools and event-driven integration.
- Improve performance, keep platform costs down and reduce technical debt.
- Mentor colleagues and partner on work like Customer 360 and AI enablement.
What you'll bring
- Significant experience designing and governing enterprise data architecture.
- Advanced knowledge of Snowflake or a similar cloud data platform.
- Deep expertise in dimensional modelling (Kimball) and layered or medallion architecture.
- Strong ELT/ETL knowledge, including batch, Change Data Capture (CDC), API and event-driven integration.
- Advanced SQL and solid engineering practice: Git, CI/CD and automated testing.
- The ability to explain complex decisions simply and to lead through influence rather than line management.
