Data Anonymisation and Test Data Management Architect (Freelance optional)

📋 Tasks and responsibilities

The assignment will deliver a set of concrete functional and technical requirements that can support a procurement specification and a potential market consultation process planned for early 2027.

As the Data Anonymisation and Test Data Management Architect, you will analyse end-to-end data flows across the application landscape and develop a broadly supported strategy covering:

• Data anonymisation and pseudonymisation
• Synthetic data generation
• Test data management, selection and minimisation
• Protection of personal data and other sensitive information
• Preservation of referential integrity and business usability
• The use of structured and unstructured data in non-production environments

You will act as the link between business and technology. This includes analysing, optimising and documenting security processes and governance, translating testing objectives and business testing scenarios into concrete test data requirements, and documenting data flows across multiple applications.

You will organise and facilitate workshops and interviews with business stakeholders, gather and structure missing information, and define the functional and technical requirements needed for a tender. The role requires alignment between business needs, regulatory obligations, technical constraints and future operational requirements.

Your stakeholders will include:

• Business departments and internal business partners
• Data management and governance teams
• Privacy and compliance functions
• Information security teams
• Enterprise architecture
• IT operations and application management teams
• Testing and quality assurance teams
• External service providers and vendors

The outcome should be a practical and sustainable strategy for test data management and data anonymisation capabilities.
