Director, Data Modeling

In short

This role leads enterprise-wide data modeling strategy, overseeing data lineage, metadata management, and modeling methodology across transactional, analytical, and cloud-native platforms (Snowflake, Oracle, AWS). It's posted by Fidelity, a financial services firm, and the position carries organization-wide influence, advising senior management on technical strategy and leading multiple teams. It requires deep hands-on expertise in dimensional/relational data modeling (Kimball, Inmon Data Vault), tools like Erwin and SAP Power Designer, SQL/PL-SQL, Python, and 4-6 years of director-level data modeling experience depending on degree level. No immigration sponsorship is provided, and the role is transitioning toward an onsite/hybrid work model.
