Pivotal opportunity for an experienced Data Architect who will bring a deep expertise in Snowflake, data governance, and data modelling to design and deliver end-to-end data solutions. You will be hands-on in solution design and advisory, partnering closely with the client, engineers, and business teams to create data ecosystems that are modern, governed, and cloud-native. Must have experience of large legacy system migrations to Snowflake from systems such as SAS, DB2 and Oracle. This will be a permanent role based in Wellington.
