Job Description

Shape the Future of an Iconic British Brand

Want to build an Architecture function rather than inherit one?

We're partnering with an iconic British brand to appoint a newly created Architect role that will play a key part in shaping the organisation's long-term technology strategy.

This is a rare opportunity to join a globally recognised business and define how technology supports future growth, transformation and innovation.

You’ll have the freedom to establish architecture governance, create technology roadmaps, influence major investment decisions and help move the business towards a more joined‑up, enterprise‑wide approach to technology.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Build something from the ground up

This isn't about maintaining an existing architecture function. You'll help create it.

Have genuine influence

Work closely with senior business and technology leaders, helping shape strategic decisions across the organisation.

Think beyond individual projects

Take a holistic view across retail, ecommerce, supply chain, corporate systems and data, defining the future technology landscape.

Join an iconic British success story

Be part of a well‑known and respected brand investing heavily in its future.

What You'll Be Doing

Defining the organisation's Architecture vision and strategy.

Creating technology roadmaps aligned to business priorities.

Establishing architecture principles, governance and standards.

Influencing major technology and investment decisions.

Providing architectural leadership across transformation initiatives.

Helping simplify and modernise a complex technology estate.

Building strong relationships across business and technology teams.

About You

You could be an Enterprise Architect who doesn't mind rolling up your sleeves and getting 'hands‑on', or a Senior Solution Architect looking for an opportunity with broader scope and greater influence.

What's most important is the ability to see the bigger picture, engage senior stakeholders and balance strategic thinking with practical delivery.

The Bottom Line

Opportunities to combine the prestige of a household‑name British brand with the chance to build and shape Enterprise Architecture from the ground up are rare.

If you're looking for a role where you can leave a lasting mark on a business and directly influence its future direction, we'd love to tell you more.
