Design the blueprint. Architect the future of the Wealth & Asset Management industry. Empower data transformation.

The Role
Capco is on the lookout for an experienced Senior Data Architect to spearhead and implement complex data architecture initiatives for our Wealth & Asset Management clientele. In this pivotal consulting role, you will guide wealth managers, asset managers, and private banks through extensive data transformation journeys, defining enterprise data strategies, designing target architectures, and constructing scalable, cloud-based platforms that enhance advisor and client experiences, investment analytics, regulatory reporting, and operational effectiveness.

  • Architect and implement cloud-native data platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) that facilitate advisor/client journeys and advanced investment analytics (risk, performance, reporting).
  • Establish integration patterns across core WAM platforms (CRM/advisor, OMS/PMS, wealth back office, custody, market/reference data, reporting).
  • Develop robust data quality, reconciliation, and control frameworks (e.g., holdings vs. books & records/AUM, pricing, corporate actions, fees/NAV).
  • Drive master and reference data strategies (clients, instruments, counterparties, legal entities) aligned with governance, metadata, privacy, and stewardship.
  • Act as a subject matter expert, translating intricate technical concepts into clear business value for senior stakeholders.

What We’re Looking For

  • Demonstrated expertise in enterprise data architecture and cloud data engineering, including platform design within Wealth & Asset Management environments.
