Our client, a leader in their industry, has an excellent opportunity for an Enterprise Data Architect to work on a 6-12 contract-to-hire position in Atlanta, GA (Dunwoody). This is a hybrid role onsite 2–3 days a week.
This is not a traditional architecture role. This person must drive change across siloed teams, influence leadership, and get initiatives moving in a complex environment. If you prefer clearly defined ownership and staying within your lane, this will not be the right fit. This is not a hands-on keyboard role — the focus is on driving alignment, influencing teams, and leading data initiatives across the organization.
This role will shape how the organization uses data across the enterprise and ensure data is ready to support future AI and analytics initiatives.
Due to client requirement, applicants must be willing and able to work on a w2 basis. For our w2 consultants, we offer a great benefits package that includes Medical, Dental, and Vision benefits, 401k with company matching, and life insurance.
Rate: $95/hr – $110/hr w-2
