Data Architect – Snowflake Migration Program (Contract)
Location: Hybrid (Australia-based)
Duration: 12–18 months | Likely to extend
Are you passionate about shaping modern data ecosystems and leading large-scale transformation journeys?
We’re looking for a hands-on Data Architect to play a pivotal role in a major data migration program — moving from legacy platforms (Teradata and Google BigQuery) to Snowflake and Power BI.
What you’ll be doing
-
Lead the architecture and design for a large data transformation initiative — migrating legacy data platforms to a scalable Snowflake environment.
-
Oversee the transition of reporting, data visualisation, and self-service analytics layers into modern tools such as Power BI.
-
Collaborate closely with program stakeholders, data engineering teams, and business users to ensure high-quality, future-proof solutions.
-
Work 80% on the core data migration program, with the remaining 20% supporting related projects across the business.
What we’re looking for
-
Proven experience in data architecture (not just engineering) within medium to large-scale organisations.
-
Background in retail or wholesale, ideally having worked with complex, customer-centric environments.
-
A consultancy mindset – you enjoy variety, solving tough data challenges, and working across multiple brands or clients.
-
Solid experience across Snowflake, Power BI, Teradata, and Google BigQuery.
-
Someone who’s been part of a major transformation journey, ideally migrating from legacy to modern cloud data platforms.
Why you’ll love this role
-
Join at an exciting phase of the data transformation journey — shaping the architecture from the ground up.
-
Initial 12–18 month contract, highly likely to extend or potentially convert to permanent down the track.
-
Collaborative, forward-thinking environment that values technical excellence and business impact.
If you thrive on data modernisation and love delivering scalable, business-led solutions, this is the perfect next challenge.
📩 Apply now to be part of one of Australia’s most ambitious data transformation programs.
