We are looking for an experienced consultant to drive the standardisation and scaling of technical interface design for data products within a large, international financial environment. This role is part of a broader transformation towards a data mesh operating model and modern data engineering practices.

The main objective is to establish consistent standards for designing, building, and maintaining data products, and to transition current semi-manual processes into scalable, business-as-usual engineering workflows.

Key Responsibilities:

• Drive the standardisation of technical interface design for data products (models, schemas, APIs)

• Support the transformation from semi-manual data product development to automated, scalable engineering processes (including CI/CD, testing, schema evolution)

• Collaborate closely with information modellers to integrate requirements management into the data product lifecycle

• Influence and guide teams in adopting new ways of working across architecture, technology, governance, and delivery areas

• Ensure consistency and quality in how data products are defined and exposed across the organisation

Key Requirements:

• Strong experience in information modelling (logical and physical data models)

• Hands-on experience with API design and management, including scaling and standardisation

• Proven track record in driving change across processes, ways of working, or organisational culture

• Solid understanding of data product design and modern data architecture concepts

• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills

• Professional level of English

Nice to Have:

• Experience with integration patterns in complex system landscapes

• Familiarity with metadata management practices

• Understanding of governance frameworks and procedures
