Job Description:

We are seeking a seasoned Data Modeling Architect with specialized expertise in designing and delivering financial data solutions that power executive decision-making. This role focuses on building a trusted and scalable data foundation for critical financial KPIs — including Revenue, EBITDA, Cash Flow, OPEX, and CAPEX — leveraging Snowflake Data Cloud on AWS.

The ideal candidate will be responsible for architecting robust financial data models, enabling analytics and reporting across Finance, FP&A, and the C-Suite. This position requires mastery of SQL-based data modeling, strong understanding of financial reporting structures, and the ability to operate at the intersection of technology, finance, and enterprise strategy.

Key Responsibilities

1. Financial Data Modeling & Architecture

  • Design and implement enterprise-grade data models that accurately represent financial structures, hierarchies, and calculations, including multi-entity consolidations, currency conversions, and time-based aggregations.
  • Build conceptual, logical, and physical data models in Snowflake that align with best practices and support GAAP, IFRS, and internal FP&A reporting requirements.
  • Translate C-suite and finance executive reporting needs into well-governed, scalable SQL models using dimensional modeling (star/snowflake) and data vault patterns where appropriate.
  • Architect financial subject areas including:
  • P&L (Profit & Loss) : revenue recognition, gross margin, operating income
  • Balance Sheet : assets, liabilities, equity
  • Cash Flow : direct/indirect method modeling, cash burn rates
  • Cost centers, GL accounts, budgets vs actuals , etc.

2. Data Integration & ELT Strategy

  • Partner with data engineers and platform teams to design source-to-target mappings from systems like SAP ECC/S4HANA, Oracle EBS, NetSuite, Workday Finance, etc.
  • Build reusable SQL patterns to manage multi-source, multi-entity financial data harmonization.
  • Design layered architecture (staging ? raw ? curated ? semantic) in Snowflake, ensuring traceability and auditability of financial metrics.
  • Ensure accurate and performant ELT transformation logic, particularly for complex aggregations and period-end adjustments.

3. Executive Stakeholder Engagement

  • Work closely with Finance, FP&A, CFO office, Treasury, and Investor Relations teams to understand strategic reporting needs and translate them into data architecture artifacts.
  • Serve as the bridge between technical data teams and business leaders, ensuring financial data integrity and transparency across reports and dashboards.
  • Support what-if analysis, scenario modeling, and driver-based planning through model extensibility.

4. Governance, Quality & Compliance

  • Define and enforce data modeling standards, naming conventions, metadata practices, and documentation protocols.
  • Implement strong data quality and validation checks, especially around month-end and quarter-end close cycles.
  • Align financial data models with internal controls and SOX, GAAP/IFRS compliance frameworks.
  • Partner with data governance teams to register models and metrics in data catalog tools like Alation, Collibra, or Atlan.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Finance, Accounting, Computer Science, or a related discipline.
  • 15+ years of experience in enterprise data modeling or data architecture roles.
  • 3+ years of Snowflake Data Cloud experience in production environments, preferably on AWS.
  • Expert-level proficiency in SQL, with experience in window functions, recursive queries, CTEs, and performance tuning for financial workloads.
  • Deep understanding of finance data structures and KPIs, including GAAP/IFRS treatment, ledger-based modeling, and consolidation logic.
  • Hands-on experience working with data from ERP systems like SAP, Oracle Financials, Workday, or similar.
  • Familiarity with financial close processes, including journal entries, accruals, and restatements.

Preferred Qualifications

  • SnowPro Advanced: Architect or equivalent Snowflake certification.
  • Prior experience building executive dashboards in Power BI, Tableau, or Looker using financial data marts.
  • Experience with data transformation frameworks like dbt.
  • Exposure to Python or R for financial analytics, forecasting, or anomaly detection.
  • Understanding of financial planning and analysis (FP&A) methodologies such as zero-based budgeting, rolling forecasts, or scenario planning.
  • Experience implementing data security models for sensitive financial datasets using RBAC and data masking in Snowflake.

Soft Skills & Core Competencies

  • Strong communication and storytelling ability, especially when interfacing with executive leadership.
  • Detail-oriented with a “data-first” mindset and financial accuracy obsession.
  • Ability to manage ambiguity and drive clarity across finance and IT functions.
  • Comfortable operating in Agile/SAFe delivery environments with sprint-based release cycles.
