Summary
At M&S, we’re evolving how technology supports our business — and architecture is at the heart of that transformation.
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.
What You’ll Do
- Define and evolve architecture strategy, target state and domain roadmaps aligned to business priorities
- Set direction on multi-year architecture plans and technology blueprints, driving simplification and efficiency
- 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
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
