Get Access To All JobsSenior Contractor, Enterprise Data Process Improvement
Engagement: Nine-month fixed-term contract
Level: Principal-level individual contributor
Location: Irving, Texas
Department: Enterprise Data
Reports to: Director, Data Programs
About the Opportunity
The Enterprise Data organization supports data engineering, platforms, architecture, governance, analytics, and related capabilities used across the company. We are seeking an experienced process-improvement leader for a focused engagement to help teams work more effectively across these areas. The role will assess how work moves from demand and prioritization through planning, delivery, governance, support, reporting, and handoff. It will then implement a limited number of high-value improvements that make work easier to manage, improve compliance and adoption, reduce manual effort, and clarify ownership. The successful candidate will bring a strong background in data engineering, data platforms, data architecture, or a related data discipline, combined with practical experience improving processes in a complex organization. This is a hands-on role for someone who can move from diagnosis to implementation and leave sustainable capability behind.
What You Will Do
- Assess and prioritize improvement opportunities
- Build a practical understanding of current processes, stakeholders, dependencies, tools, and pain points across selected Enterprise Data workstreams.
- Identify where work is delayed by unclear ownership, manual handoffs, inconsistent standards, limited capacity, or low process adoption.
- Establish a focused improvement backlog and recommend the two to four opportunities most likely to produce measurable benefit during the engagement.
-
Define baselines and success measures for the selected improvements.
-
Design and implement better ways of working
- Improve selected processes such as demand management, prioritization, platform delivery, architecture decisions, governance reviews, support, status reporting, decision tracking, or dependency management.
- Design lightweight workflows, standards, roles, decision rights, service expectations, escalation paths, and operating rhythms.
- Make compliance easier to follow by reducing unnecessary steps, clarifying expectations, and embedding requirements into existing work.
- Create practical playbooks, templates, RACI models, decision logs, action registers, and process documentation.
-
Work with process owners and managers to ensure improvements are adopted rather than simply documented.
-
Use automation and information to reduce manual effort
- Identify recurring manual work and control points that can be streamlined or automated.
- Design or coordinate workflows, forms, dashboards, notifications, evidence capture, and exception reporting using approved enterprise tools.
- Improve the quality and timeliness of management information on decisions, owners, risks, dependencies, overdue work, and milestones.
-
Help teams capture information once and reuse it across delivery management, governance, reporting, and leadership reviews.
-
Enable cross-functional execution
- Work with data engineering, platform, architecture, governance, PMO, business, and other partner teams.
- Facilitate focused working sessions to resolve ownership, priority, process, architecture, and dependency questions.
- Pilot improvements with selected teams, learn from actual usage, and refine the approach before broader rollout.
- Provide practical communication, training, and enablement so teams understand how to use the new processes and why they matter.
- Transition ownership, documentation, automation, and ongoing measurement to internal teams.
Required Qualifications
- Significant experience in data engineering, data platforms, data architecture, data products, or a closely related technical discipline.
- 8+ years of experience in enterprise data or technology environments, including leading cross-functional process improvement or operating-model change.
- Ability to understand technical delivery realities and translate them into workable processes, controls, decision rights, and operating rhythms.
- Experience improving adoption or compliance when teams are busy, distributed, or working across multiple tools and priorities.
- Experience with workflow automation, dashboards, reporting, metadata, governance, data quality, architecture, or platform enablement.
- Strong facilitation, written communication, executive communication, problem-solving, and stakeholder-management skills.
- Ability to influence without formal authority and build mechanisms that reduce dependence on individual follow-up.
- Ability to work independently and deliver tangible results within a nine-month engagement.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience in retail, consumer, supply chain, merchandising, store operations, or another large-scale operational environment.
- Experience with hub-and-spoke, federated, data-product, or self-service analytics operating models.
- Experience with data governance, data quality, privacy, security, metadata, lineage, platform operations, or architecture review processes.
- Experience with Power BI, Power Automate, SharePoint, Teams, ServiceNow, Jira, Smartsheet, or comparable workflow and reporting tools.
- Experience with Lean, Six Sigma, Prosci, ADKAR, PMP, PgMP, or comparable improvement or change-management methods.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship in Enterprise Data Architect
Align your credentials to U.S. specialty occupation standards
U.S. employers filing an E-3 visa LCA must demonstrate the role requires a specific degree. Frame your Australian bachelor's degree and architecture certifications against the SOC 15-1243 job zone to preempt any USCIS specialty occupation challenge.
Target employers with active LCA filing histories
Search DOL's Office of Foreign Labor Certification disclosure data for companies that have filed LCAs for data architect or data engineer titles. These employers already understand the E-3 process and won't need to be educated on sponsorship mechanics.
Clarify consulting arrangements before your LCA is filed
Enterprise Data Architects frequently work across multiple business units or client sites. If your role involves third-party placements, your employer must still be your true employer of record on the LCA, or your petition faces a heightened scrutiny risk.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to handle your LCA and visa paperwork
Once you have a signed offer, Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service manages prevailing wage compliance, LCA certification with the DOL, and consulate preparation so you and your employer aren't navigating the paperwork without specialist support.
Request a specific job title on your offer letter
Vague titles like 'Senior Technologist' create friction at the consulate interview. Ensure your offer letter and LCA use a title that maps directly to data architecture duties so the consular officer can verify specialty occupation status without ambiguity.
Confirm E-Verify enrollment before your start date
Your employer must be E-Verify enrolled to satisfy DOL LCA compliance obligations. If they're not already enrolled, the enrollment process takes several business days, and starting work before your I-9 is verified through E-Verify can create compliance problems for both parties.
E-3 Visa Enterprise Data Architect: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Enterprise Data Architect jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for Australian professionals searching for E-3 sponsor-ready roles. Rather than filtering thousands of generic listings, you can search Enterprise Data Architect positions where employers have demonstrated sponsorship willingness. From there, Migrate Mate can also handle the end-to-end E-3 filing once you have an offer.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does an Enterprise Data Architect role qualify as a specialty occupation for E-3 purposes?
Yes. Enterprise Data Architect roles require at least a bachelor's degree in computer science, information systems, or a closely related field, which satisfies USCIS's specialty occupation definition. Roles that involve designing enterprise-wide data models, governance frameworks, or cloud data infrastructure consistently meet this threshold. Problems arise when a job description is written broadly enough that any technical degree would qualify, so your offer letter should specify degree requirements clearly.
How does the E-3 visa compare to the H-1B for Enterprise Data Architect roles?
For Australian nationals, the E-3 is substantially more accessible than the H-1B visa. The H-1B is subject to an annual cap of 85,000 slots and a competitive lottery, meaning qualified candidates are often excluded by chance alone. The E-3 has a 10,500 annual allocation that has never been exhausted, so there's no lottery and no waiting period. Both visas require LCA certification and specialty occupation approval, so the documentation burden is similar, but the E-3 removes the randomness entirely.
Can I change employers while on an E-3 as an Enterprise Data Architect?
Yes, but you can't simply transfer your existing E-3 to a new employer the way an H-1B portability rule allows. Your new employer must file a fresh LCA with the DOL and you'll need to attend a new consulate interview or file a change of status if you're already inside the U.S. There's no grace period built into the E-3 itself, so timing the transition carefully around your current status expiry matters.
