The Data Modeller will be owning the design of enterprise and domain data models for a leading insurer covering policy, customer, product, claims, and finance. Models will support reporting, operations, analytic, and AI.

  • Lead modelling from requirements and subject-area analysis through mapping and validation
  • Create conceptual, logical, and physical models with clear entities, keys, relationships, grain, history, and business rules
  • Design dimensional, normalised, canonical, and data-product schemas to fit each use case
  • Work with BAs and SMEs to confirm definitions, ownership, and model scope
  • Align designs to the enterprise data model, glossary, MDM/reference data standards, and governance policies
  • Review source systems, find overlaps or gaps, and recommend reusable patterns that avoid double counting
  • Work with engineers to implement models in databases, lake house tables, API's, events, and semantic layers
  • Define data quality, lineage, classification, retention, and sensitive-data controls with governance and security
  • Keep model repositories, naming standards, version history, and documentation up to date

Your Profile

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Data Management, or a related field (postgraduate qualification a plus)
  • 5+ years in data modelling, data architecture, data warehousing, BI, or data engineering
  • Proven experience designing conceptual, logical, and physical models for enterprise solutions
  • Insurance experience strongly preferred (policy, product, customer, agent, claims, billing, payments, actuarial, or reinsurance)
  • Experience working with both business and technology teams in a regulated environment is an advantage

Technical skills

  • Strong relational, dimensional, and canonical modelling (including normalisation and SCDs)
  • Able to define grain, keys, relationships, history, and reconciliation controls
  • Hands-on with erwin, ER/Studio, or similar modelling tools
  • Strong SQL, including data profiling to validate model design
  • Working knowledge of metadata, business glossaries, lineage, data quality, MDM, and reference data
  • Cloud/lake house experience (Azure, AWS, Databricks, Delta Lake, EDW) is an advantage
  • Familiarity with batch, API, and event structures (JSON, Avro, Kafka) is an advantage

How you work

  • Clear communicator who can explain models to business and technical audiences
  • Strong stakeholder management, facilitation, and requirement-gathering skills
  • Practical and collaborative - balances enterprise standards with delivery
  • Organised, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple priorities with solid documentation






  • Competitive contract package
  • 5-day work week
  • Hybrid working
  • Exposure to group-wide insurance data models across multiple Asian markets
  • Hands-on work on conceptual, logical, and physical models for policy, customer, claims, product, and finance
  • Modern data stack (lake-house, cloud, governance, analytical / AI use cases)
  • Strong CV profile with a listed pan-Asian life insurer
