Maestro Talent Solutions

Senior Data Architect

Job Description

Maestro Talent Solutions is hiring for a Senior Data Architect to lead enterprise data architecture, database strategy, and data modernisation initiatives within a large-scale public sector environment in Alberta. This is a significant opportunity for an experienced data architecture professional who is passionate about designing scalable, secure, and governance-aligned data solutions that enable data-driven decision-making at an enterprise level. If you have a strong background in public sector or large enterprise IT environments and a deep understanding of data strategy and architecture best practices, Maestro Talent Solutions would like to hear from you.

In this role, you will be responsible for leading the design and implementation of enterprise data architecture and database solutions, ensuring alignment with organisational standards, governance frameworks, and security requirements. You will develop and maintain data models, data warehousing solutions, and information management frameworks, while conducting threat and risk assessments and presenting findings and recommendations to senior leadership. Your work will span data integration, data quality management, and the development of business intelligence and performance management solutions. You will also be expected to produce comprehensive enterprise solution documentation and architecture artefacts, and to provide technical advisory and leadership to stakeholders across the organisation.

The ideal candidate holds a college or bachelor's degree in computer science or a related discipline and brings extensive experience designing, implementing, and supporting enterprise-scale databases and data platforms. Strong knowledge of enterprise architecture principles, standards, and governance is essential, as is experience with Transact-SQL development and optimisation. Familiarity with cloud-based and big data environments is highly valued, and experience with architecture modelling tools such as PowerDesigner, ER/Studio, ERwin, or Rational Rose will be a strong advantage. TOGAF certification is preferred, as is experience with Microsoft SQL Server, Power BI, Cognos BI, or MicroStrategy, and exposure to agile application development projects. Valid Canadian work authorisation is required, and all work must be performed within Canada.

Maestro Talent Solutions places experienced technology professionals into high-impact engagements across Canada's public and private sectors, and this role represents an opportunity to contribute to a meaningful data modernisation programme within a complex government environment. You will work alongside skilled professionals who take pride in delivering robust and future-ready data solutions, in an environment that values technical leadership, sound governance, and strategic thinking.
