Do you thrive on turning complex data into actionable insight? Are you passionate about enabling data-driven decision-making across an organisation? If so, Castles & Coasts Housing Association (CCHA) is looking for a talented Data & BI Architecture Lead to join our IT, Data and Procurement team.

This is a high-impact leadership role where you'll be responsible for delivering and continuously evolving our Data Strategy. You'll lead a skilled Business Intelligence team, guiding the design of scalable BI solutions, building robust data models, and ensuring high-quality, accessible insight reaches the people who need it. Your work will enable smarter decisions and better outcomes for our colleagues and customers across the North of England.

We're looking for someone with hands-on experience in enterprise data architecture, data modelling, Power BI development, and governance frameworks. You'll need strong SQL skills, and ideally experience with SSRS/SSIS, Azure data services, and the Microsoft Power Platform. Just as important are your leadership qualities--someone who can inspire a team, engage with stakeholders, and drive a culture of data curiosity, integrity, and innovation.

CCHA is a values-led housing association managing over 7,000 homes across Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear, and North Lancashire. We're committed to tackling the housing crisis and delivering excellent, efficient services for the communities we serve. You'll be joining a collaborative, forward-thinking team that's working to make a meaningful difference every day.

If this sounds like your next challenge, we'd love to hear from you. Please complete our application process and tell us how you can help shape the future of data and insight at CCHA. In return, you'll join a great organisation and an ambitious team with a shared purpose.
