• Executive communication and stakeholder management experience

Key Responsibilities (Must-Have)

Enterprise Architecture

Strategy (Target State + Roadmap)

• Define the target state architecture for Microsoft Fabric including:
  • Workspaces/domains strategy aligned to enterprise operating model (centralized CoE, federated domains, or hybrid)
  • OneLake architecture and multi-zone data layout (landing/curated/serving)
  • Standard architecture patterns for Lakehouse, Warehouse, Real-time, and Semantic models
• Develop the platform adoption roadmap:
  • Phased onboarding strategy for 100s of teams and 1,000s of users
  • Capability roadmap (governance maturity, automation maturity, migration waves)
  • Reference implementation(s) and scaling patterns
• Own architecture decisioning:
  • Document Architecture Decision Records (ADRs)
  • Ensure consistency of patterns across domains and teams

Security, Compliance, and Risk Architecture (Zero Trust Enterprise Controls)

• Design enterprise-grade security controls for Fabric:
  • Tenant, capacity, workspace governance boundaries
  • Entra ID group-driven RBAC strategy and least privilege access design
  • Separation of duties across Admin/Platform/Engineering/Business personas
• Define compliance and auditing requirements:
  • Data classification and sensitivity labeling approach
  • Data access auditing, lineage for compliance, and evidence generation model
  • Retention and lifecycle controls aligned to enterprise policy (where applicable)

Enterprise Governance Architecture

• Architect the enterprise governance ecosystem:
  • Define Purview's role (scanning, classification, lineage, policy enforcement where applicable)
  • Define Atlan's role (enterprise catalog UI, glossary, stewardship workflows, governance operating processes)
• Design and guide implementation of:
  • Metadata synchronization strategy (system of record, mapping rules, identity resolution)
  • Lineage strategy (Fabric lineage + enterprise lineage consolidation)
  • Business glossary alignment and stewardship RACI across domains
• Define governance workflows:
  • Data product certification/endorsement, publishing guardrails
  • Controlled sharing models and approvals for sensitive data
  • Data contract and documentation standards

Integration Architecture (Sources, Formats, and Consumption)

• Define patterns for ingestion and integration across source systems:
  • Structured sources (SQL Server/Oracle/SaaS), unstructured files, APIs, events (where required)
  • Batch and incremental (CDC) ingestion strategies
  • Data quality and schema drift strategy
• Define serving and consumption architecture:
  • Semantic model strategy (shared models, certified datasets, RLS/OLS patterns)
  • Power BI workspace/app distribution model and content lifecycle
  • Data sharing patterns across workspaces/domains (governed reuse, avoiding duplication)

Migration

Modernization Leadership

• Lead modernization and migration planning:
  • Discovery and assessment of legacy platforms (DW/ETL/BI, on-prem to cloud)
  • Workload classification and migration wave planning
  • Target patterns: refactor vs rehost vs replatform
• Define migration accelerators/approach:
  • Metadata-driven ingestion, automated reconciliation, parallel run strategy
  • Validation strategy: data parity, performance, security, and operational readiness

Operational Model, Observability

FinOps Strategy

• Define platform operations:
  • SLO/SLA model for platform and critical data products
  • Incident/change/release management and ITSM integration
• Define observability strategy:
  • Capacity monitoring, workload health, lineage coverage, governance compliance metrics
• Own FinOps strategy:
  • Cost allocation model
  • Workload optimization and capacity planning approach

Good-to-Have

• Data Mesh / Data Product operating model experience
• Experience integrating external governance tools (Atlan, Collibra, etc.)
• Cost management and chargeback frameworks
• ITIL/ITSM operations integration (ServiceNow/Remedy, etc.)
