Job Description

At Primark, we're seeking a skilled Solution Architecture Practice Lead to drive the practice of solution architecture across our organisation. As a key member of our Architecture Team, you'll provide strategic direction, thought leadership, and mentorship to solution architects, enabling them to deliver high-quality and scalable technology solutions.

Your primary responsibilities will include leading the solution architecture practice, establishing standards, frameworks, and guidelines aligned with Primark's technology strategy. You'll also provide strategic guidance and mentorship to solution architects, foster the reuse of components, patterns, and techniques within a composable architecture framework, and manage the resource and task allocation of solution architects.

In addition, you'll conduct solution reviews, ensure compliance with architectural standards and best practices, and stay up to date with industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices in solution architecture. You'll represent the solution architecture practice as part of the architecture leadership team and be the owner of any architectural and project risks and/or issues.

As a key member of our team, you'll collaborate with cross-functional teams, business stakeholders, enterprise architects, vendors, partners, and security and information risk functions to define, align, communicate, and implement solution architecture. You'll also build, manage, and mentor a high-performing team focused on delivering the technology strategy for Primark and fostering a culture of collaboration and knowledge sharing among solution architects.

To be successful in this role, you'll need to have a proven track record of designing and delivering complex technology solutions, a solid understanding of solution architecture principles, frameworks, and best practices, and excellent leadership and communication skills. You'll also need to have in-depth knowledge of modern software architectures, including microservices, APIs, cloud computing, and data analytics.

If you're passionate about technology, possess excellent leadership and architectural skills, and have a strong background in solution architecture, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity.

Key Responsibilities:

* Lead the solution architecture practice and establish standards, frameworks, and guidelines aligned with Primark's technology strategy.
* Provide strategic guidance and mentorship to solution architects and foster the reuse of components, patterns, and techniques within a composable architecture framework.
* Manage the resource and task allocation of solution architects and drive the development and maintenance of solution architecture artifacts.
* Conduct solution reviews and ensure compliance with architectural standards and best practices.
* Stay up to date with industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices in solution architecture and advocate for their adoption within Primark.
* Represent the solution architecture practice as part of the architecture leadership team and be the owner of any architectural and project risks and/or issues.
* Collaborate with cross-functional teams, business stakeholders, enterprise architects, vendors, partners, and security and information risk functions to define, align, communicate, and implement solution architecture.
* Build, manage, and mentor a high-performing team focused on delivering the technology strategy for Primark and fostering a culture of collaboration and knowledge sharing among solution architects.

Requirements:

* Proven experience as a senior solution architect or a similar role, with a strong track record of designing and delivering complex technology solutions.
* Solid understanding of solution architecture principles, frameworks, and best practices, with hands-on experience in solution design.
* Demonstrated experience in leading and developing a team of solution architects.
* Excellent leadership and communication skills, with the ability to influence and collaborate effectively with stakeholders at all levels.
* In-depth knowledge of modern software architectures, including microservices, APIs, cloud computing, and data analytics.
* An affinity for the mission and vision of the Technology function and a passion to play a key role in shaping and achieving the success of the function.
