  • Govern solution design across programmes and projects, ensuring consistency, scalability, and adherence to standards.
  • Evaluate new technologies, vendors, and integration approaches to support modernisation and innovation.
  • Provide architectural leadership across cloud adoption, data flows, integration patterns, and security models.
  • Support major transformation initiatives such as ERP modernisation, digital platform evolution, and store technology refresh programmes.

Requirements

  • Proven experience as a Domain Architect, Solution Architect, or Senior Technical Lead within retail or large-scale consumer environments.
  • Strong understanding of ERP platforms (SAP preferred) and their role in retail operations.
  • Experience with digital platforms such as eCommerce, customer apps, content management, and order management systems.
  • Deep knowledge of retail store systems including POS, store operations, inventory, pricing & promotion
  • Strong architectural grounding across applications, integration, data, cloud and security.
  • Ability to define clear architectural principles, patterns, and roadmaps.
  • Excellent communication skills, with confidence engaging senior stakeholders and influencing technical direction.
  • Experience with microservices, event-driven architectures, and API-led design.
  • Exposure to retail supply chain technologies (WMS, OMS, RFID, forecasting).
  • Familiarity with enterprise architecture frameworks (TOGAF, SAFe).
  • Understanding of modern data platforms and analytics capabilities.
