Role: Enterprise Architect Location: Newcastle (Hybrid) Salary: £90,000 + 10% Bonus Shape the Future of an Iconic British Brand We're partnering with an iconic British brand to appoint an Enterprise Architect - a newly created position that will play a critical role in shaping the future direction of technology across a global organisation. With a rich heritage, a highly recognisable product portfolio, and ambitious plans for growth and transformation, our client is investing heavily in its technology capability. This role offers a rare opportunity to establish Enterprise Architecture from the ground up, creating the frameworks, governance, roadmaps and strategic direction that will underpin the organisation for years to come. If you're looking for a role where you can genuinely influence business outcomes, engage with senior stakeholders, and leave a lasting legacy, this is an opportunity worth exploring. The Opportunity Like many successful organisations that have grown and evolved over time, our client operates a diverse technology landscape supporting retail, ecommerce, supply chain, wholesale and corporate functions. As Enterprise Architect, you'll be tasked with understanding the current environment, defining a clear future-state vision, and creating the architectural capability required to bridge the gap. You'll work closely with both business and technology leaders to understand strategic priorities, translate business challenges into technology solutions, and establish the governance needed to support better decision-making across the organisation. This is a highly visible role with significant influence and scope. You'll be expected to balance strategic thinking with practical delivery, helping the organisation move from localised technology decision-making towards a more cohesive enterprise-wide approach.

This isn't about maintaining an established architecture function. You'll be defining it. You'll have the opportunity to create the vision, establish the governance, influence investment decisions and help shape how technology supports the business for years to come. For the right architect, opportunities to combine the prestige of a household-name organisation with the chance to build Enterprise Architecture from the ground up are rare.
