Enterprise Data Architect

Enterprise Data Architect - Global Travel & Hospitality Group
Location: London (2-3 days onsite)
Package: UP TO 125k base + 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.
