About the Team

The Enterprise Data Architecture team is a central organization responsible for defining the enterprise-wide data standards, architectural patterns, and foundational capabilities that enable scalable, trusted, and reusable data solutions across the firm. Working closely with Enterprise Architecture and partners across business and technology, this team helps shape how data is structured, governed, and leveraged to support innovation, operational excellence, and informed decision-making.

This team plays a critical role in advancing the firm’s data strategy by establishing the architectural foundation for high-quality, well-governed, and compliant data products at enterprise scale. In addition to driving consistency and control in how data is managed, the team is helping enable the firm’s broader modernization efforts through cloud-native data architecture and the evolving use of AI-powered capabilities. As the organization expands its use of AI, strong information architecture and data modeling practices are increasingly essential to ensuring data is discoverable, trusted, interoperable, and fit for intelligent applications across the enterprise.

Role Summary

As a Senior Enterprise Information Architect, you will play a key role in shaping the firm’s enterprise information architecture through leadership in building enterprise logical and physical data models aligned to an enterprise data product strategy.

This role requires deep expertise in data modeling practices, a strong understanding of enterprise data architecture, and the ability to collaborate effectively across a wide range of stakeholders.
