The Data Architecture Manager plays a critical role in defining and documenting the flow of data across the enterprise. This role is focused on identifying authoritative data sources, establishing data lineage, and documenting end-to-end data flows — from source systems where data originates to the final systems where it is consumed for reporting, analytics, or decision-making.
Working under the direction of the Director, Data Architect, the Manager will collaborate closely with business and application teams to ensure that data assets are well understood, traceable, and trustworthy. This individual will also support the development of enterprise data models and assist in managing a burst capacity of contractors, with potential for leading full-time staff as the team matures.

Responsibilities

WHAT YOU WILL DO:

  • Lead efforts to identify and document authoritative sources for critical data domains in collaboration with application owners and data stewards.
  • Develop and maintain data lineage and data flow diagrams to support traceability, regulatory needs, and analytical trust.
  • Partner with application and engineering teams to understand data movement, transformations, and downstream consumption patterns.
  • Collaborate with the Principal Architect to contribute to enterprise data model development by applying sound data modeling principles and techniques.
  • Maintain a catalog of data domains, flows, and source-to-target mappings using enterprise metadata and governance tools.
  • Provide direction and oversight to contractors engaged in lineage and source identification projects; ensure work is documented, reviewed, and aligned to standards.
  • Support the evaluation and maintenance of tooling required for lineage, metadata management, and architecture visualization.
  • Contribute to the design and promotion of standards, guidelines, and best practices for data architecture documentation.
  • Assist in creating fit-for-purpose documentation artifacts to enable data governance, compliance, and business understanding.
  • Communicate progress, risks, and interdependencies regularly with the Principal Architect and stakeholders.
  • Stay current on emerging trends in data architecture, lineage, and metadata tooling
