Job Description

Senior Data Modeler

Hybrid 3-4 days onsite

Location: Phoenix, Arizona

Salary: $130,000 - $150,000 base

A large, operationally complex organization is undergoing a major modernization of its data platform and is building a new, cloud-native analytics foundation from the ground up. This is a greenfield opportunity for a senior-level data modeler to establish best practices, influence architecture, and help shape how data is organized and used across the business.

This role sits at the center of a multi-year transformation focused on modern analytics, scalable data products, and strong collaboration between data and business teams.

What You’ll Be Working On

  • Designing and implementing enterprise data models across conceptual, logical, and physical layers
  • Establishing Medallion architecture patterns and reusable modeling assets
  • Building dimensional and semantic models that support analytics and reporting
  • Partnering closely with domain experts and functional leaders to translate business needs into data structures
  • Collaborating with data engineers to align models with ELT pipelines and analytics frameworks
  • Helping define modeling standards and upskilling senior engineers in modern data modeling practices
  • Contributing hands-on to data engineering work where needed (SQL, transformations, optimization)
  • Proactively identifying analytics opportunities and recommending data structures to support them

This role is roughly 40% data modeling, 30% hands-on engineering, and 30% cross-functional collaboration.

Must-Have Experience

  • Strong, hands-on experience with data modeling (dimensional, canonical, semantic)
  • Deep understanding of Medallion architecture
  • Advanced SQL and experience working with a modern cloud data warehouse
  • Experience with dbt for transformations and modeling
  • Hands-on experience in cloud-native data environments (AWS preferred)
  • Ability to work directly with business stakeholders and explain technical concepts clearly
  • Experience collaborating closely with data engineers on execution

Nice to Have

  • Python experience
  • Familiarity with Informatica or reverse-engineering legacy data models
  • Exposure to streaming or near-real-time data pipelines
  • Experience with visualization tools (tool choice is flexible)

Who Will Thrive in This Role

  • A senior individual contributor who enjoys building from scratch
  • Someone who can act as a modeling expert and mentor in an organization formalizing this practice
  • Comfortable working in ambiguity and taking initiative
  • Strong communicator who enjoys partnering with both technical and non-technical teams
  • Equally comfortable discussing business concepts and physical data models

Why This Role Is Unique

  • Greenfield data modeling initiative with real influence
  • Opportunity to define standards that will be used across the organization
  • Work on large-scale, real-world operational and analytical data
  • High visibility within a growing data organization
  • Flexible work setup for individual contributors

If you’re excited about shaping a modern data foundation and want to be the person who defines how data is modeled, understood, and used, this is a rare opportunity to make a lasting impact.
