We have a requirement for a Data Modeller on an initial 6 month contract basis. This is inside IR35 and will be hybrid working with 2 days a week onsite in London.
In this role, you will define the data blueprints and foundational models that underpin how customers in dynamic, data intensive industries operate, scale, and innovate. You will design robust, future ready data models that enable seamless integration, advanced analytics, and AI driven decision making across complex digital transformation programmes.
Essential skills/knowledge/experience:
* Proven experience delivering conceptual, logical, and physical data models for cloud data platforms, ideally GCP
* Strong hands on modelling for BigQuery (analytical/columnar patterns, denormalization strategy, partitioning & clustering considerations)
* Expertise in data modelling approaches: 3NF, dimensional (Kimball), Data Vault, and hybrid patterns for Lakehouse designs
* Maintain versioned model artefacts (ERDs, schema scripts, JSON/YAML specs) and change logs; manage controlled evolution of models.
* Ability to translate banking domain requirements (Customer, Accounts, Payments, Credit, Risk, Finance) into scalable canonical models
* Strong understanding of BigQuery performance and cost optimisation impacts driven by modelling choices (query patterns, storage, scan costs)
* Experience designing data products for analytics and reporting with trusted definitions (facts, dimensions, SCD, conformed dimensions)
* Strong knowledge of data governance: metadata management, lineage, stewardship, data quality rules, and critical data elements
* Proficiency with data modelling tools such as ER/Studio, PowerDesigner, ERWin, SQL Developer Data Modeler, or equivalent cloud native tools.
* Familiarity with GCP ecosystem integration (e.g., Cloud Storage, Dataflow/Dataproc, Pub/Sub) and how ingestion patterns influence modelling
