On behalf of PwC, we are looking for a Financial Data Architecture Lead for a 6 Month contract based in London.

Join us as a Financial Data Architecture Lead:

We are seeking a senior Financial Data Architecture Lead to design and lead the development of the Finance data foundation across Insurance Finance, Risk, Treasury, Tax and Actuarial domains. This role is not focused on building core platforms or infrastructure; instead, it centres on designing data models, structures, and flows grounded in real business and actuarial use cases, with a deep understanding of how data resolution, granularity and quality impact financial and actuarial models.

You will work closely with a centrally provided technology platform (Azure, Databricks) and act as the design authority for Finance data, analytics, and reconciliation frameworks. Python capability is essential, including building and deploying financial and analytical models.

What you’ll do:

• Define and lead the end-to-end Finance Data architecture across Finance, Risk, Treasury, Tax, and Actuarial.
• Design robust finance and actuarial data models that align with business use cases, regulatory needs, and analytical requirements.
• Establish data foundations for new and evolving data sources, considering data resolution, lineage, controls, and downstream model impact.
• Define data flows supporting statutory, regulatory, and internal reporting.
• Partner closely with Finance and Actuarial stakeholders to understand how data feeds financial and actuarial models.
• Assess and resolve data issues impacting model accuracy, reconciliation, and comparability across reporting bases.
• Provide thought leadership on data structures that enable scalable analytics and advanced modelling.
• Lead and oversee the deployment of Python-based data and financial models on central data platforms.
• Develop and review Python pipelines supporting analytics, modelling, and reporting use cases.
• Support reporting and analytics capabilities, including BI and advanced analytical layers.

Key Accountabilities, Skills & Experience:

• Proven experience as a Finance Data Architect, Senior Data Architect, or Finance Data Modeller in insurance or financial services.
• Deep understanding of insurance finance and actuarial data, including large-scale transformation programmes.
• Experience working with central/platform technology teams rather than owning infrastructure delivery.
• Strong Python development skills for data analysis, financial modelling, and pipeline development.
• Experience deploying Python models within modern data platforms (eg Databricks).
• Strong understanding of data modelling concepts (conceptual, logical, physical) within Finance and Risk domains.
• Experience supporting reporting, analytics, and BI use cases built on Finance data foundations.
• Understanding of regulatory and statutory reporting data requirements.

Next Steps:

At PwC we want every individual to feel valued, respected and empowered to contribute fully. Creating an environment where everyone belongs and thrives unlocks greater innovation, productivity and deeper engagement.
