- We are looking for a Senior Data Modeller
- to support a Microsoft Fabric data platform programme for a large enterprise
- client.
We are building a more
- product-oriented data organisation, where trusted data assets are created once,
- governed properly and reused across business domains. This role will help shape
- the data models that sit at the heart of that approach.
- The successful candidate will work across
- source system onboarding, Fabric Lakehouse and Warehouse design, reusable
- Silver-layer datasets, Gold-layer analytical models and Power BI semantic
- consumption. The role is not limited to drawing data models. It requires
- someone who can understand business processes, challenge unclear definitions,
- define model grain, agree common entities and help engineering teams turn
- source data into trusted, usable data assets.
- This would suit someone with strong
- dimensional modelling experience who has worked on modern cloud data platforms
- and is comfortable operating between business stakeholders, architects,
- engineers, governance teams and BI/reporting users.
What You Will
Be Doing
- The Data Modeller will be involved in the
- design of enterprise and domain-level data models across Microsoft Fabric. This
- includes conceptual, logical and physical modelling for new data sources,
- business domains and reporting use cases.
- A key part of the role will be to help
- define reusable datasets across the Bronze, Silver and Gold layers. Bronze will
- largely reflect raw or source-aligned data. Silver should become the trusted,
- standardised and reusable business-aligned layer. Gold should support
- consumption through reporting, semantic models, dashboards, analytics and
- future AI use cases.
- The role will work closely with Data
- Engineers to define source-to-target mappings, transformation rules, keys,
- relationships, data quality checks and history handling. It will also involve
- working with Analytics Engineers and Power BI teams to make sure downstream
- semantic models are built on consistent and well-understood data structures.
- The candidate will also support the
- definition of common enterprise entities, such as customer, product, supplier,
- location, transaction, order, contract, employee or other client-specific
- business concepts. The exact domains will depend on the systems being
- onboarded, but the principle is the same: create models that are clear,
- reusable and aligned to business meaning.
Key Responsibilities
- ●Design conceptual, logical and
- physical data models for enterprise data onboarding and analytics use cases.
- ●Define modelling patterns for
- Fabric Lakehouse, Fabric Warehouse and Power BI semantic consumption.
- ●Support the implementation of
- Bronze, Silver and Gold data layers using Medallion Architecture principles.
- ●Design conformed dimensions, fact
- tables, reference data structures, master data views and analytics-ready
- datasets.
- ●Define model grain, business keys,
- surrogate keys, relationships, hierarchies and history handling.
- ●Create source-to-target mappings
- and work with engineers to turn modelling designs into working data assets.
- ●Help define reusable Silver-layer
- datasets that are more than cleansed copies of source systems.
- ●Design Gold-layer models around
- reporting, KPIs, business questions and decision-making needs.
- ●Work with domain teams to
- understand business processes, data ownership, key metrics and analytical
- requirements.
- ●Support Power BI semantic model
- design by ensuring data structures are clear, performant and business-friendly.
- ●Document business definitions,
- model assumptions, lineage, data quality rules and known limitations.
- ●Work with governance teams to
- align models with naming standards, glossary terms, metadata and access
- requirements.
Expected
Outputs
- The role is expected to produce practical
- modelling artefacts that can be used by engineers, analysts, architects and
- business teams. Typical outputs include:
- ●Conceptual and logical data
- models.
- ●Physical model designs for Fabric
- Lakehouse and Warehouse.
- ●Entity relationship diagrams.
- ●Dimensional models with facts,
- dimensions and defined grain.
- ●Source-to-target mapping
- documents.
- ●Data product or dataset
- specifications.
- ●Data dictionaries and business
- definitions.
- ●Lineage and dependency
- documentation.
- ●Data quality rule definitions.
- ●Naming standards and modelling
- design patterns.
- ●Inputs into Power BI semantic
- model design.
- ●Model review packs for
- architecture or governance forums.
Requirements
Required
Skills
- The candidate should have strong hands-on
- experience in enterprise data modelling and data warehousing. They should be
- confident with dimensional modelling, including star schemas, facts,
- dimensions, conformed dimensions and slowly changing dimensions.
- Strong SQL is required. The person does
- not need to be a full-time data engineer, but they should be able to read
- transformation logic, understand joins and aggregations, and challenge whether
- the implemented logic matches the intended business model.
- The candidate should understand modern
- cloud data platforms and Lakehouse concepts. Experience with Microsoft Fabric
- is strongly preferred, especially Fabric Lakehouse, Fabric Warehouse, OneLake
- and Power BI semantic models.
- They should also understand the practical
- role of governance in data modelling: naming standards, definitions, ownership,
- lineage, quality expectations, access controls and metadata.
