The opportunityWe're looking for a Data & AI Solutions Architect to own and evolve VantagePoint's internal data, systems and automation architecture as we continue to scale.Our ambition is to build a best-in-class internal data and technology ecosystem - connected, scalable and increasingly AI-enabled. As a finance transformation and technology consultancy, we want the way we operate internally to reflect the same standards and ambition we bring to our clients.This is a hands-on role. You'll set the direction and architecture, but you'll also build, configure, integrate and improve the solutions behind it. You'll inherit an active roadmap, deliver immediate improvements and help shape what our future technology and data landscape should look like.The challenge isn't simply technical. You'll work across the business to understand requirements, prioritise competing needs, make recommendations and lead change through to adoption.We need someone equally comfortable stepping back to design the right solution and getting stuck in to make it work.

Our tech stackYou'll be working across a broad and evolving technology landscape, including:Microsoft 365 | NetSuite | Sage | CCH Tagetik | Attio | n8n | Zapier | SQL | Power BI | Rippling | Cledara | Notion | Rocketlane | Claude You don't need to have worked with every platform. We're more interested in your ability to understand how systems, data and workflows fit together, learn new technologies quickly and design better ways of connecting them.
