Ofgem is Great Britains independent energy regulator. Were at the forefront of change across the sector, driving toward Net Zero whilst protecting consumers, especially vulnerable people.

Youll bring significant experience operating as a Senior Data Architect within a complex organisation, alongside strong expertise in data modelling, integration technologies and cloud-based data architectures. Youll also understand how to develop structured data standards, governance approaches and interface documentation, with a strong awareness of data security, privacy and information governance requirements. The ability to operate effectively at both strategic and delivery levels will be essential.

In return, youll join a collaborative and supportive environment, where you can apply your expertise to meaningful work that supports major renewable energy schemes, and enjoy a comprehensive benefits package and an environment focused on your development, career path and goals.
