Data Consultant - Graph & Semantics

#LI-SG1

About the team:

Capco’s Data Team helps our clients transform every aspect of their business. We are highly skilled at formulating data strategy, defining business and technology initiatives across the data management lifecycle, and aligning multi-year strategic roadmaps with client’s business goals. As digital technologies advance and regulations tighten, today’s consumers – and, therefore, today’s businesses – are becoming more aware of the importance of good quality data. We work to establish holistic ways to effectively manage data through the modern data supply chain and facilitate consumption through analytics, modelling, AI, machine learning, dashboarding, and reporting.

 

About the Job:

Financial services firms are increasingly turning to graph and semantic technologies to unlock value from complex, siloed data. These tools—powered by AI and knowledge graphs—enable deeper insights by linking structured and unstructured information in ways that are both human- and machine-readable. This role focuses on helping clients design and implement such solutions, while also growing Capco’s Data Practice through thought leadership, talent development, and strategic partnerships. The ideal candidate will drive innovation, support business development, and stay ahead of emerging trends in semantic graph technologies.

 

What You’ll Get to Do: 

• Design, develop, and maintain ontologies to support knowledge graph initiatives and enterprise data management
• Work with stakeholders to define data relationships, taxonomies, and semantic models to enhance data interoperability
• Implement and optimize knowledge graphs using technologies such as RDF, OWL, SPARQL, and graph databases (e.g., Neo4j, Stardog, or Amazon Neptune)
• Collaborate with data scientists, engineers, and business teams to integrate ontologies into AI/ML models and enterprise applications
• Ensure ontology alignment with industry standards (e.g., W3C, schema.org, FIBO) and evolving business requirements
• Perform data modeling, entity resolution, and graph-based analytics to derive insights from structured and unstructured data
• Develop and maintain documentation for ontology models, data dictionaries, and governance policies
• Stay updated on advancements in graph technologies, semantic web, and linked data best practices

What You’ll Bring with You:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Science, Data Science, or a related field
• 2+ years of experience in ontology development, knowledge graphs, or semantic technologies
• Graph and Semantic Data Consultants will require multi-disciplinary capabilities required to explain, design, and create powerful knowledge graph models – a good balance of business and technical understanding
• Sound understanding of Knowledge Representation and Semantic Technologies, e.g. OWL, RDF, SWRL, SPARQL, JSON-LD, Turtle, N-Quads, including semantic modelling and data
• Awareness of the breadth of use cases for these technologies, prudent user interface design which exploit the power of graph and mitigates the challenges of visualizing graph data
• Experience with some Graph/Triple Stores and related technologies, e.g. PoolParty, Stardog, TigerGraph, Ontotext GraphDB, Grakn, MarkLogic, Metaphactory, Neo4j
• Experience in applying semantic technologies in an industry setting, or practical experience as part of an academic, Library Science or Information/Knowledge Management career
• Excellent Communication skills – be an effective, passionate, trusted advocate and communicator for Graph and Semantic Technologies
• Ability to utilize NLP, machine learning and semantic text mining to translate data into machine understandable representations to support advanced analytics, classification, inference processing and knowledge extraction
• Familiarity with mapping techniques, e.g. R2RML, for transforming relational/tabular datasets into triples
• Understanding of ETL techniques and associated software
• Agile software development frameworks, e.g. Scrum, Kanban, Extreme Programming
• Understanding of data management and governance toolsets and methodologies
• Programming skills: Python, Java, Javascript etc.
• Experience in applying semantic technologies in an industry setting, or practical experience as part of an academic, Library Science or Information/Knowledge Management career
