Contract Data Consultant / Data Architect - Remote - Circa £800pd - Initially 3 months Futureheads are representing a venture partner looking to bring in a Data Consultant/Architect who is driven by the challenge of designing, structuring, and optimising data systems that power innovative products. We’re seeking experienced data professionals with strong expertise in data architecture and modelling, who excel at turning complex, unstructured inputs into secure, usable, and scalable outputs. You’ll be joining a venture team working in the insurance space, developing an early version of a product in the legal tech space, ingesting large volumes of complex, varied documents and training models to generate precise, usable outputs. You’ll collaborate with Venture Leads and academic consultants with deep NLP & AI expertise.

We are looking for the following: • Demonstrated experience in data architecture, data science, or data engineering, ideally applied in product or MVP contexts. • Strong knowledge of data modelling principles, pipelines, and security best practices. • Familiarity with NLP, LLMs, or related applied AI techniques (experience with unstructured documents a plus). • Ability to collaborate cross-functionally with venture leads, technical experts, and business stakeholders. • Excellent communication in English; French a strong bonus. This is a contract opportunity at the cutting edge of applied AI and data architecture, where your work will directly shape the MVP and its data foundation.
