Data Architect — Palantir Foundry Presented by Morela on behalf of our client

This is where data meets real-world impact.

Our client is a fast-growing AI and Data consultancy delivering some of the most complex and consequential data programmes in the UK — and they need a Data Architect who can bring structure, strategy, and deep technical expertise to match their ambition.

The Opportunity

Morela is proud to be supporting our client in their search for a contract Data Architect with exposure to Palantir Foundry. This is a hands-on, technically demanding role sitting at the heart of a large-scale data transformation programme. You''ll be designing and governing data architecture across complex environments, ensuring data flows reliably, securely, and at scale — for clients where the stakes are high and the work genuinely matters.

Please note — Palantir Foundry experience is a non-negotiable requirement for this role. We receive a high volume of applications from Data Architects, and unfortunately we are unable to consider profiles without demonstrable hands-on exposure to the Foundry platform. Please do not apply if this does not reflect your background.

What You''ll Be Doing

You''ll own the architectural design of data pipelines, data models, and integration frameworks across the programme. Working closely with technical and non-technical stakeholders, you''ll translate complex data requirements into scalable, production-ready solutions in environments where quality and governance are non-negotiable.

What You''ll Bring

You''re an experienced Data Architect with proven, hands-on exposure to Palantir Foundry — this is the single most important requirement for this role. Beyond that, a background in complex enterprise data environments is essential. Experience working within or alongside the NHS or wider public sector is highly desirable, as is the ability to navigate large, multi-stakeholder programmes with confidence and clarity.

The Ideal Profile

Hands-on experience with Palantir Foundry — essential, non-negotiable, familiarity with NHS data standards, frameworks, and governance requirements, strong enterprise data architecture background, and the ability to communicate technical architecture clearly to non-technical audiences.

Location: Hybrid — UK based Engagement: Contract Rate: £720 per day
