Responsibilities

  • ● The work we do has an impact on millions of lives, and you can be a part of it.
  • ● We help protect our customers against life's uncertainties. Regardless of where you work within the company, you'll be helping provide protection and peace of mind when our customers need it most.
  • ● The Data Solutions Architect is a senior individual contributor who serves as a bridge between business strategy and technical execution, designing end to end data solutions that enable analytics, reporting, and AI use cases across the enterprise. This role combines deep data architecture expertise with solution design and technical leadership responsibilities-creating practical, scalable, and secure data solutions that translate business needs into actionable technical roadmaps.
  • ● This position is embedded closer to delivery teams, working hands on with business partners, engineers, and product teams to ensure data solutions are usable, compliant, and aligned to Protective's priorities.
  • ● While this role has no direct reports, it carries significant leadership accountability. The Data Solutions Architect is expected to set technical direction, drive alignment across independent teams, and influence outcomes through expertise, credibility, and relationships rather than positional authority. Decisions made in this role shape multi year data investments, establish patterns adopted by multiple engineering teams, and directly affect Protective's ability to deliver trusted data and AI capabilities at scale.
