We are seeking experienced Enterprise / Domain Architects to provide dedicated architecture leadership across a number of strategic transformation programmes.

The successful candidates will work as key members of programme teams, partnering with business and technology stakeholders to define target architectures, support technology selection, guide implementation approaches, and ensure solutions align with wider enterprise strategy.

These roles are initially expected to support programme delivery through key architecture phases, including discovery, design, procurement, selection, and implementation. Engagements are expected to run for approximately 4–6 months, or until permanent architecture capability is established.

The roles are hybrid, with occasional travel required to programme locations as needed.

  • Target-state architecture
  • Order management capability blueprint
  • Technology selection criteria
  • OMS options and recommendation pack
  • Architecture Decision Records (ADRs)
  • Contribution to roadmap and non-functional requirements

Core Requirements
Required Skills & Experience

  • Enterprise Architecture or Domain Architecture experience.
  • Strong understanding of retail business capabilities and technology landscapes.

    • Technical assessments
    • Vendor evaluations
  • Ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear business outcomes.
  • Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills.
  • Ability to challenge vendors and drive informed decisions.
  • Comfortable working at both strategic and detailed technical levels.
  • Proactive, pragmatic, and delivery-focused approach.

The Architect will work closely with:
  • Head of Architecture / Architecture Leadership
  • Programme Leadership
  • Business Owners
  • Product Teams
  • Engineering and Delivery Teams
