Once designed, you will engage closely with Product Owners and Data Architect to guide backlog prioritization, define structural requirements, and oversee successful implementation across a Medallion Architecture.
Key Responsibilities
- Stakeholder Collaboration & Requirements Discovery: Partner directly with Market Analytics teams, Data Scientists, and Risk Managers to understand analytical workflows, define key metrics, and capture conceptual data requirements for energy supply/demand, logistics, and curves.
- Domain Taxonomy & Semantic Modeling: Architect enterprise-grade taxonomies, conformed dimensions, and hierarchical structures for core energy domains: Market Balances: Global import/export flows, production, consumption, and reserve metrics.Logistics & Spatial Data: Vessel tracking movements, port hierarchies, routing nodes, and freight structures.Asset Frameworks: Refinery and plant networks, operational status tracking, and capacity hierarchies.Market Curves & Pricing: Time-series pricing structures, historical curves, and market assessment taxonomies.
- Conceptual & Logical Design: Translate business concepts and domain rules into formal conceptual entity-relationship diagrams (ERDs) and logical data models (LDMs), establishing clear enterprise-wide data standards.
- Architectural & Product Handoff: Engage proactively with P66 Product Owners to help shape the data product roadmap, and collaborate with Data Architect to ensure logical models align with enterprise target-state architecture and implementation standards.
- Medallion Architecture Alignment: Define the structural contracts and semantic transformations as data moves from ingestion into structured, conformed Silver layer entities and business-optimized Gold layer analytical models.
- Governance & Model Standardization: Establish enterprise data modeling standards, naming conventions, and best practices. Partner with data governance teams to maintain the enterprise data dictionary and end-to-end logical lineage.
Travel may be required for this role. The amount of travel will vary from 0 to 100% depending on business need and client requirements.

- Experience: 6+ years of dedicated data modeling experience within enterprise environments, focusing heavily on conceptual and logical design in complex industrial, supply chain, or energy domains.
- Stakeholder & Product Engagement: Proven track record of working directly with business stakeholders (such as analysts, data scientists, quants, and risk professionals) to gather requirements, as well as partnering effectively with Product Owners and Architects to execute technical roadmaps.
- Modeling Expertise: Mastery of data modeling methodologies (Dimensional Modeling/Kimball, 3NF/Relational) and proficiency with industry-standard modeling tools (e.g., ERwin, PowerDesigner, or modern visual/code-based modeling frameworks).
- Domain Aptitude: Strong conceptual understanding of physical supply chains, time-series data relationships, spatial/geographical hierarchies, and market fundamental data.
- Cloud Data Awareness: Familiarity with modern cloud data platform concepts and Medallion Architecture patterns (separating raw, conformed, and dimensional layers logically).
