Industry: Retail
Reference ID: JN -052025-102066
Date Posted: 04/08/2026

Description:
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
Responsibilities:
• Lead enterprise data architecture across the company spanning including Google Cloud, Salesforce, AWS and on-prem platforms
• Drive alignment across siloed teams to establish consistent data models, flows, and ownership
• Influence and partner with business and technology leaders to improve data quality, governance, and overall data health
• Identify gaps in the current data landscape and create actionable roadmaps to improve data usability and AI readiness
• Lead cross-functional discussions, remove roadblocks, and accelerate data initiatives
• Define and evolve data architecture standards, integration patterns, and governance frameworks
• Evaluate emerging technologies and guide modernization and migration strategies
• Present findings, recommendations, and progress to senior leadership
Experience Requirements:
• 10+ years of IT experience with 3–5+ years as a Data Architect
• Proven experience driving cross-team data initiatives in complex, siloed environments
• Demonstrated ability to influence stakeholders and gain buy-in without direct authority
• Strong experience in data architecture, data warehousing, and enterprise data integration
• Strong experience with GCP (BigQuery, data pipelines, or large-scale data platforms)
• Experience with Salesforce data integration, AWS or other cloud platforms is a plus
• Hands-on background in the past in data related ETL, data integration, APIs, and microservices architecture
• Proficiency with relational and NoSQL databases, BI tools, and big data technologies
Preferred Skills
• Experience with hospitality or large-scale consumer data environments
• Experience improving data quality, governance, or enterprise data health
• Exposure to AI/ML or data readiness initiatives
• Familiarity with tools such as Tableau, Power BI, or Looker
This role is NOT for someone who:
• Prefers purely hands-on engineering or development work
• Has only designed architecture but not driven adoption
• Relies on formal authority instead of influence
• Is not comfortable challenging stakeholders and pushing initiatives forward
Education Requirements:
Bachelor's or Master's Degree in a relevant field of work or an equivalent combination of education and work-related experience.
Skills, experience, and other compensable factors will be considered when determining pay rate. The pay range provided in this posting reflects a W2 hourly rate; other employment options may be available that may result in pay outside of the provided range.
W2 employees of Eliassen Group who are regularly scheduled to work 30 or more hours per week are eligible for the following benefits: medical (choice of 3 plans), dental, vision, pre-tax accounts, other voluntary benefits including life and disability insurance, 401(k) with match, and sick time if required by law in the worked-in state/locality.
If anyone reaches out to you about an open position connected with Eliassen Group, please ensure that you are working directly with us by confirming the following:
· When you work with Eliassen Group, all email communication will come from an Eliassen.com address, never Gmail, Yahoo, etc.
· Eliassen Group will never ask you for personal information (home address, bank account, or check routing number) until you have worked with someone clearly associated with Eliassen Group.
