Summary

We’re looking for an Domain Architect to lead the technology direction across our Central domain, covering Finance, HR, Property and other core business areas.
This role plays a key part in shaping architecture strategy, defining target states and guiding investment decisions across a complex landscape.
You’ll partner with senior stakeholders across Product, Engineering and the wider business to simplify, modernise and deliver long-term value.
We’re looking for someone who combines strong enterprise architecture experience with the ability to influence at senior level and translate strategy into clear outcomes.
Due to high interest, this role may close earlier than advertised. We recommend applying as soon as possible.

- Ensure solutions align with enterprise standards, security requirements and platform strategies
- Lead architecture governance and guide decision-making across Product, Engineering and business teams
- Act as a trusted advisor to domain leadership, shaping technology direction and enabling delivery
