Data Architect

Job Title: Data Architect - Business and Go-To-Market Data Architecture 

Job Location: Westminster, CO 

Our Department: Trimble Field Systems - Business Transformation Team

Are you passionate about transforming complex data into clear, actionable insights that drive business success?

We are seeking a highly skilled, motivated, experienced, and strategic-thinking Data Architect to lead the overhaul of our underlying data architecture in our Field Systems Business Systems. You will be responsible for working across Field Systems and corporate stakeholders to understand challenges with the current architecture, evolving business needs, and defining how we can better manage our offerings with underlying part number data to meet our evolving needs. 

This role requires gaining a deep understanding of the current data architecture framework and the ability to work collaboratively with cross-functional teams to understand current challenges, define and document the strategy, and plan the creation, implementation, and migration of the new architecture. 

We are looking for ways to better manage product data (part numbers, categories, etc.) to enable greater flexibility in how we define offerings, optimize managing dealer portfolio access, dealer incentives, sales reporting, forecasting, inventory, and more. This role will enable the businesses to reduce the part numbers we are offering and manage, and consolidate parts between different business units within Field Systems. 

Once the architecture is final and approved, you will be responsible for planning and leading the implementation and transition with cross-functional stakeholders from the business, finance, channel management, and operations. This will require strong change management and communication skills, as changing the data architecture and structure will have a significant impact on business processes and business systems.

What You Will Do

• Lead the redesign of our data architecture, focusing on the organization and management of part numbers, SKUs, and their categorization into product families, product lines, and product groups.

• Collaborate with stakeholders to understand business requirements and translate them into effective data architecture solutions.

• Ensure consistency, accuracy, and scalability of part numbers and part number groupings across all businesses.

• Develop and implement strategies to optimize the management of dealer portfolio access, dealer incentives, and sales reporting.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to plan the implementation and migration of the new data architecture.

• Ensure the new data architecture aligns with corporate requirements and objectives.

• Create and validate the new data architecture with stakeholders, ensuring it meets business requirements and objectives, especially those of the channel strategy.

• Lead the implementation of the new data architecture, working closely with cross-functional stakeholders to ensure a smooth transition.

• Provide technical leadership and guidance to the data migration team and other relevant teams.

• Develop and enforce data governance policies and standards to ensure data quality and integrity.

• Work closely with data engineers, data analysts, and other IT professionals to implement and maintain the new data architecture.

• Conduct regular audits and assessments of the data architecture to identify areas for improvement and ensure compliance with industry best practices.

​

What Skills & Experience You Should Bring

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field.

• Proven experience with data architecture, with a strong background in data architecture principles and data governance.

• Extensive experience in redesigning and optimizing data management processes, particularly in organizing and managing part numbers, SKUs, and categorization.

• Good understanding of channel operations, dealer incentives, sales reporting, and forecasting.

• Excellent collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams.

• Demonstrated ability to lead the implementation of new data architectures and manage the migration process.

• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.

• Experience with data modeling, database design, and data integration.

• Project Management skills.

• Systems thinking mindset.
