Our core purpose is simple: every day we strive to provide unmatched customer and employee experiences and foster a culture of respect, diversity, and transparency. It’s this culture, our people, and delivery that come together to make Centric a trusted advisor to local businesses.

Our Data & Analytics practice believes that data can drive business value and performance. But it takes the right people, skills and approach to deliver expected results. That’s where you come in! For us, Data and Analytics is more than just a set of technologies. It’s about skilled individuals who can align technical capabilities to bring value to a business. What we value the most: people who are dedicated to delivering high quality solutions. It's not enough for things to look good on the surface. They must be built on strong technical foundations. We’re looking for a Data Architect to join our growing team.

In this role, you will:

• Profile and analyze source system data
• Design extract methodologies
• Document all D&A components of an overall solution architecture on large projects
• Communicate a detailed ETL architecture and implementation plan to ETL Developers
• Implement the solutions you design and mentor other members of the team
• Ensure compliance with the architecture through team oversight
• Advise on hardware/infrastructure and software needs
• Define a strategy for meeting special data requirements
• Build client relationships and participate in business development and proposal work
• Interview and facilitate meetings with VP level business stakeholders

A successful candidate will have the following characteristics:

• Strong communication skills
• Ability to fully document the D&A solution architecture
• Experience working with client leadership to understand their overarching needs and provide data driven results
• Proven capacity to design and implement a full lifecycle D&A solution
• Strong SQL skills with an understanding of other query languages (MDX, DAX)
• Proficiency with multiple ETL tools and data storage environments
• Ability to define a backup, archiving, and disaster recovery strategy
• Experience working in a cloud-based solution
• Proven aptitude for troubleshooting issues across multiple departments and vendors
• Ability to adapt in a fast-paced flexible environment

What makes Centric different?

• Impact – We think of ourselves as a big company with a small company feel – a local player with global reach that combines business, technology and industry expertise.
• Unmatched Experiences – We are allowed to be ourselves here. We are encouraged to be human. It’s at the root of who we are as a firm and why we’re here.
• Innovation – We value passion, determination, perseverance, and innovation. We are inspired because we believe in what we are doing and where we are going.
• Passion for the greater good – We are steadfast in our devotion to the communities we serve and in actively promoting employee involvement in community improvement projects.

Centric believes the best solutions come from diverse teams. We strive to have an environment where everyone has an opportunity to be successful regardless of their race, color, religion, gender, national origin, ancestry, age, disability, military or veteran status, sexual orientation or gender identity.
