Lead Commercial Data Architect

Why this role
We are a consulting firm that helps life sciences companies, locally and globally, get their commercial data right, from master data and data platforms to customer engagement programmes.

This role has two sides. With clients, you’ll be the data architect they rely on: setting up data governance, running the design authority and making the calls that keep their data landscape coherent. Inside BASE, you’ll help lead our Commercial data team by developing people, shaping proposals and helping us win new work. We don’t expect you to be equally strong on both sides, and we’ll shape the role around where you bring the most.

What you’ll do

With clients:

• Act as lead data architect on MDM and data platform programmes for life sciences clients
• Set up and run data governance, including ownership, standards and decision rights
• Chair design authority meetings and make the architecture calls across MDM, data platform and CRM integration
• Work with client stakeholders, from business owners to IT leadership

Inside BASE:

• Manage and develop consultants in our data team
• Lead or contribute to RFP responses and solution proposals
• Present in client orals and pre-sales meetings
• Share knowledge and help grow our data practice

What you bring

• A proven track record in a leading role on MDM or data platform implementations, deep in one and credible across both:
  • MDM (e.g. Informatica MDM, Reltio MDM)
  • data platforms (e.g. Databricks, Snowflake, Informatica IDMC)
• Hands-on experience with data governance and with running a design authority or similar architecture forum
• Experience managing and developing people
• Pre-sales experience, such as RFP responses, proposals or orals
• A good understanding of delivery methodologies such as Agile, waterfall and hybrid
• A general understanding of customer engagement (CE) processes such as CRM, marketing automation, consent management, and event and engagement management
• Confident communication, spoken and written, with both business and technical audiences
• Excellent English

A plus if you have

• Deep knowledge of one or more CE processes
• A certification in an MDM solution (Informatica MDM, Reltio MDM) or a data platform (Databricks, Snowflake, Informatica)
• Good knowledge of the data models of at least one key data provider: IQVIA OneKey, IQVIA sales and prescription data, or Veeva OpenData
• GAMP 5 training or hands-on experience

This position is offered in Denmark and Spain.
