Key Responsibilities:

• Own end-to-end solution architecture across retail, eCommerce and enterprise technology projects.
• Design scalable solutions integrating platforms such as ERP, OMS, WMS, POS, CRM, PIM, payments and fulfilment systems.
• Lead technical design across cloud, SaaS, APIs, microservices and systems integration.
• Work closely with engineering teams and delivery partners, remaining hands‑on throughout implementation.
• Evaluate technology options, challenge vendors and make pragmatic build-versus-buy decisions.
• Simplify legacy architecture, reduce complexity and support technology modernisation.
• Translate business requirements into clear technical designs and actionable delivery plans.
• Work directly with senior stakeholders to balance technical decisions against cost, risk and business value.

What We're Looking For:

• Significant experience as a Senior or Lead Solutions Architect.
• Strong retail and/or eCommerce experience is essential, ideally within a complex omnichannel environment.
• Broad architecture experience across customer‑facing digital platforms and back‑office enterprise systems.
• Strong understanding of cloud technologies, API architecture, integration and modern software engineering.
• Proven ability to take solutions from initial discovery and design through to implementation and go‑live.
• A genuinely hands‑on, commercially minded architect who can investigate technical challenges and make decisions independently.
• Someone who thrives in a lean, fast‑moving environment, communicates clearly and takes ownership.

Experience with Azure/AWS, composable commerce, headless architecture, ERP modernisation, or enterprise data platforms would be advantageous.

If you're a senior architect with a strong retail background who enjoys staying close to technology and delivery, we'd be interested in speaking with you.
