BI Data Architect: 8 month FTC

Remote, UK

£100,000 pro rata

This is a high impact BI Data Architect role focused on shaping the foundations of a modern analytics platform during a critical migration phase. You will play a key role in setting standards, improving governance, and enabling scalable, self service BI, with the autonomy to influence design decisions rather than simply execute requirements.

The Company

They are a technology led organisation operating at scale, with data at the heart of how teams make decisions. The business is investing in its BI and analytics capability, moving towards a more governed, modular and future proof data environment. Collaboration is central to how they work, with data teams partnering closely with stakeholders across the organisation.

The Role

  • Support a major data platform migration, helping to build strong architectural foundations.
  • Design and implement dimensional models and a robust semantic layer to enable trusted, self service analytics.
  • Introduce and embed dbt as part of the transformation and modelling layer.
  • Establish effective data governance using Unity Catalog, including data quality and access controls.
  • Build and maintain CI/CD processes to support reliable, repeatable deployments.
  • Work hands on with Databricks, focusing on architecture, optimisation and BI engineering rather than cloud infrastructure.
  • Act as a trusted partner to the business, translating requirements into scalable data solutions.
  • Take ownership of problems end to end, bringing ideas and challenging assumptions where needed.

Your Skills and Experience

  • Strong commercial experience as a BI Data Architect or BI Engineer in modern analytics environments.
  • Proven capability in dimensional modelling and designing semantic layers for BI tools.
  • Hands on experience with Databricks and lakehouse style architectures.
  • Working knowledge of Unity Catalog or similar data governance frameworks.
  • Experience implementing or working with dbt in a production environment.
  • Confidence setting up CI/CD for analytics engineering workflows.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to work autonomously and learn quickly.

What They Offer

  • An 8 month fixed term contract with flexibility around working location.
  • The opportunity to shape a BI platform and leave a lasting architectural impact.
  • A collaborative environment that values initiative, curiosity and clear communication.
  • Exposure to a broad range of stakeholders and business critical use cases.

Where to Advertise Cloud Computing Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise cloud computing jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and channels that reach AWS, Azure, GCP and cloud-native engineering talent. The candidate pool is large relative to other deep tech disciplines but highly segmented — cloud architects, DevOps engineers, platform engineers, FinOps specialists and cloud security professionals each occupy distinct communities with different job search behaviours, certification profiles and salary expectations. General job boards reach a broad audience but struggle to differentiate between these disciplines, producing high application volumes but low candidate quality for specialist cloud roles. This guide, published by CloudComputingJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise cloud computing roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Cloud Computing Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Cloud Computing Jobs UK 2026: salaries, hiring trends and the AWS, Azure and GCP skills shaping UK cloud careers over the next three years. Cloud computing is the infrastructure layer on which the modern digital economy runs — and the jobs market that has grown around it is one of the largest, most sustained, and most structurally resilient in the entire technology sector. But the cloud computing jobs market of 2026 looks quite different from the one that existed three years ago, and the next three years will bring further change at a pace that rewards those who understand the direction of travel. The migration phase that defined cloud hiring for much of the previous decade is largely complete for enterprise organisations. The question for most UK businesses is no longer whether to move to the cloud but how to operate, optimise, and secure what they have already built there — and how to integrate the wave of AI capability that is now being delivered primarily through cloud infrastructure. That shift has profound implications for which cloud skills are in demand, which roles are growing, and which are beginning to plateau. At the same time, new architectural patterns — multi-cloud, cloud-native, serverless, and the growing integration of edge computing with centralised cloud infrastructure — are creating entirely new categories of specialist expertise that employers are actively competing to hire. The cloud computing jobs market of 2026 is not contracting. It is evolving, and evolving in ways that create significant opportunity for job seekers who are building the right skills. This article breaks down what the UK cloud computing jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
