DEPLOY has been retained to find a Reporting & Data Architect Lead combines advanced reporting development with enterprise-level data governance and architectural leadership. In this role, you will own our client's enterprise reporting platform—designing robust Power BI solutions, managing shared data models, and ensuring the reporting environment remains secure, scalable, and high-performing.

You will also own our client's enterprise reporting standards and governance framework, ensuring reporting across all departments is consistent, trusted, and aligned with best practices. This includes defining reporting conventions, reviewing changes, onboarding departmental report creators, and stewarding enterprise reporting assets such as certified datasets and endorsed reports.

At the enterprise level, you will architect our client's data framework—defining how data is structured, named, documented, and shared across ERP, operational, manufacturing, and corporate systems. You will own the enterprise data dictionary, the centralized semantic model, and key architectural decisions around Microsoft Fabric and other data tooling. This role interacts frequently with executives to align data strategy with organizational growth and reporting needs.
