Senior Lead Data Architect: Information Architecture

You strive to be an essential member of a diverse team of visionaries dedicated to making a lasting impact.

Don't pass up this opportunity to collaborate with some of the brightest minds in the field and deliver best-in-class solutions to the industry.

As a Senior Lead Data Architect, Data Modelling at JPMorganChase within Enterprise Platforms (Employee Platforms) in Corporate Technology, you shape how data is structured, defined, and trusted across products that serve critical employee experiences.

You will lead the domain's data modelling strategy across transactional, analytical, streaming, and AI-driven consumption patterns, ensuring performance, clarity, and safe evolution.

You will also help establish semantic foundations so teams and enterprise-authorized AI capabilities can interpret and use data reliably with appropriate validation, security, resiliency, and auditability.

Job responsibilities


* Lead the end-to-end data modelling strategy for the domain, aligning logical and physical models to the needs of each product and consumer.


* Design and optimize models across raw/denormalized document structures, OLTP relational (3NF), OLAP dimensional (star/snowflake), and event/message schemas.


* Define and maintain semantic foundations, including a data dictionary, naming and namespace conventions, and attribute-level abstractions to support interoperability.


* Govern schema evolution and model versioning to enable safe change while protecting downstream consumers through clear contracts and lineage expectations.


* Represent data architecture and modelling at governance forums, improving standards and guiding technology evaluation against established frameworks.


* Provide technical direction and mentorship to engineering teams, contractors, and vendors as a domain subject matter expert in data modelling.


* Develop and review secure, high-quality DDL and model-implementing transformation logic, debugging issues and improving production readiness.


* Drive modelling decisions that influence product design, application functionality, analytics outcomes, access-pattern performance, and operational stability.


* Use enterprise-authorized AI capabilities to accelerate modelling analysis and documentation while validating outputs and aligning to data sensitivity, security controls, resiliency, and auditability expectations.


* Champion reuse-first, AI-assisted validation and agentic workflows within the software development lifecycle to strengthen quality checks, documentation, traceability, and model usability for both people and AI systems.
