About the job
ABOUT US | Whiteshield is a premier global advisory firm strategically positioned at the crossroads of strategy, public policy, and digital transformation. We collaborate with governments and leading organizations to craft and execute initiatives aimed at enhancing economic competitiveness, fostering digital enablement, and ensuring sustainable growth.
Our approach uniquely blends strategic advisory services with pragmatic execution. We empower senior decision-makers to navigate intricate regulatory, economic, and technological landscapes, converting aspirations into well-structured programs, delivery frameworks, and quantifiable outcomes.
Unlike conventional consultancies that focus merely on recommendations, we remain actively engaged throughout the implementation process, ensuring that transformation plans are not only conceptualized but also effectively realized.
WHERE YOU FIT IN | We are developing robust data platforms and architectures that serve as the backbone of national and enterprise transformation initiatives, facilitating decision-making, AI systems, and large-scale digital services.
At Whiteshield, data is not an afterthought; it is a core component. From constructing interoperable data ecosystems across various institutions to enabling AI-ready infrastructures, our work operates at the intersection of engineering, analytics, and strategic foresight.
We seek a Data Architect capable of bridging both vision and execution. You will delineate how data is structured, governed, and utilized, ensuring it is reliable, scalable, and poised to produce tangible impacts.
You thrive in complex, multi-stakeholder environments, adeptly translating ambiguous requirements into clear data models, architectures, and standards. You possess a deep understanding of how contemporary data platforms bolster AI, analytics, and operational systems, and how to design them effectively.
Your role will involve close collaboration with engineers, analysts, policymakers, and client stakeholders to build data ecosystems that are not only technically robust but also user-friendly, trustworthy, and aligned with strategic objectives.
WHAT YOU WILL DO |
- Design and implement scalable, secure, and high-performing data architectures across both cloud and hybrid environments.
- Establish enterprise data models, standards, and governance frameworks to ensure consistency and interoperability.
- Architect modern data platforms (data lakes, warehouses, lakehouses) to support analytics, AI, and operational use cases.
- Lead client engagements as a trusted advisor on data strategy, architecture, and platform design.
- Translate business and policy objectives into structured data solutions and pipelines.
- Establish data governance practices, including data quality, lineage, cataloguing, and more.
