Chief Architect
Package: Up to £170,000 + 20% Bonus + 10.5% (employer pension contribution)
Location: London (Hybrid)
We're partnering with a well-known organisation undertaking a major technology transformation and looking to hire a Chief Architect to establish and lead a new Architecture function.
Reporting directly to the CTO, you'll be responsible for creating the architecture vision, defining current and target states, and building a team of architects to support an ambitious multi-year transformation programme.
This role is about far more than governance and architecture diagrams. We're looking for a leader who can create capability, build credibility, and become a key member of the technology leadership team.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

What we are looking for:
- Experience of building and leading an Architecture function
- Strong leadership and stakeholder management skills
- Ability to operate at Executive and Senior Leadership Team level
- Experience building teams, operating models and architecture capabilities
- Broad technology background rather than deep specialisation in one area
- Commercial awareness and the ability to connect technology strategy to business outcomes
- Transformation experience within complex organisations
- Experience within a regulated environment
