Architect

Detailed Description From Employer:

Architect - Retail & Hospitality Tech

Location: Shepherd's Bush (4 days onsite - non-negotiable)

Salary: £110,000 + £4,800 car allowance + benefits

Leading UK retailer and hospitality client now undergoing a significant business and technology transformation.

This is a pivotal hire within a newly evolving architecture function, offering the opportunity to shape enterprise-wide strategy during a large-scale cloud and operating model transformation.

As Enterprise Architect, you'll operate as a senior individual contributor, working across domains with tech leads and engaging closely with C-suite stakeholders.

This is a highly visible, commercially focused role-not hands-on engineering but defining how technology enables the business to grow and compete.

Key Responsibilities

• Define and drive enterprise architecture strategy across a complex, multi-site retail environment
• Partner with CIO, COO, and senior stakeholders to align technology with business goals
• Work cross-functionally with domain tech leads to deliver scalable, future-proof solutions
• Shape supplier strategy and technology investment decisions
• Support large-scale cloud transformation initiatives (Microsoft ecosystem)
• Ensure architecture supports customer experience, operational efficiency, and revenue growth

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience as an Enterprise Architect or Head of Architecture in a retail, hospitality, or multi-site environment
• Strong commercial acumen-able to understand and articulate business models, cost drivers, and customer behaviour
• Experience delivering or supporting large-scale cloud migration programmes (ideally Microsoft stack)
• Ability to operate cross-domain and influence at C-suite level
• Strong understanding of omnichannel retail and customer engagement strategies
• Self-starter mentality-comfortable in a fast-moving, evolving environment with minimal red tape

If you're a commercially minded Architect looking to make a tangible impact in a dynamic environment, this is a rare opportunity to step into a genuinely strategic role.
