Shape the future of data and analytics for the world's largest and most complex financial institutions. As a Specialist Analytics Solution Architect within our Global Financial Services (GFS) organisation, you'll work with a focused portfolio of strategic accounts across EMEA and APJ — designing transformative cloud-based architectures that address the unique scale, regulatory, and operational demands of tier-one financial services customers.
This is not a high-volume role. You'll go deep, not wide — building lasting technical relationships with a small number of the most significant financial services organisations in the world. You'll act as a strategic technical partner, helping these customers reimagine their data infrastructure, modernise analytics platforms, and unlock business value from data at enterprise scale.
You'll combine deep expertise in data and analytics with an understanding of the financial services landscape to translate complex challenges into elegant, scalable cloud solutions — navigating regulatory requirements, legacy environments, and multi-regional complexity along the way.
