Enterprise Data Architect

Enterprise Data Architect – Global Travel & Hospitality Group

Location: London (2–3 days onsite)

Package: Up to £123k base (DOE) + £6k car allowance + up to 30% bonus + benefits

Picture this: 3,000 operating units , 625 locations , 38 countries . Airports, train stations, motorway services. A household name in travel F&B serving millions of customers every single day . A business turning over £3.5bn – and right now, in the midst of something big.

A new CIO joined in July and immediately launched an ambitious transformation agenda: S/4HANA , SuccessFactors , global POS upgrades , and a complete modernisation of the data estate. This isn’t incremental improvement; it’s a rebuild of how data flows through a global operation that touches travellers everywhere, every day.

That’s where you come in...

We’re looking for an Enterprise Data Architect to join the newly created Architecture & Engineering Tower – one of five strategic pillars reshaping the technology function into a leaner, higher-performing organisation.

This is not BAU. You’ll define the blueprint:

• Enterprise data architecture for a complex, multi-country business
• Data governance frameworks
• Modern data paradigms including Data Mesh and Data Fabric
• Architectures that can scale globally across retail, hospitality and consumer-facing environments

It’s strategic. It’s visible. And in many ways, it’s greenfield. You’ll be laying the foundations that underpin everything from operational efficiency to customer experience across a vast international network.

Ideal background:

• TOGAF
• Strong stakeholder engagement
• Experience in global retail, hospitality, or other customer-facing sectors

If you want your architectural decisions to have real-world impact at global scale , and you’re excited by a business genuinely investing in its digital future, let’s talk.
