Digital Solutions Architect

Real influence, early — you're shaping solution options and key design decisions in pre-discovery,

Breadth, not a narrow lane — architecture across eCommerce, Mobile, Customer Identity, Loyalty and Marketing,

A seat at the table — direct exposure to Technology Leadership, Enterprise PMO and Architecture Governance forums

A hand in defining what "modern" means here — API-first, cloud-native, event-driven, with real license to reduce the point-to-point integration mess that builds up over time

Shape solution architecture across Digital initiatives from ideation through to implementation, providing clear direction and supporting delivery

Partner in pre-discovery and initiative shaping — clarifying business problems, exploring solution options, and defining the architectural approach

Produce and maintain architecture artefacts: conceptual architectures, solution designs, integration models, architecture decisions and non-functional requirements

Define scalable, secure and reusable architecture patterns across Digital Commerce, Mobile, Customer Identity, Loyalty, Marketing and Customer Experience

Partner with Product, Delivery and Engineering teams throughout the delivery lifecycle, and work with Data, Security, Platform and Enterprise Architecture to navigate cross-domain dependencies

Contribute to technology evaluations, platform selection and vendor assessments

Support and mentor engineers and emerging architects, and represent MECCA in relationships with technology vendors and delivery partners

7+ years' experience in Solution Architecture within enterprise Digital environments

Experience designing and delivering Digital Commerce and customer-facing technology solutions

Experience across Digital platforms including eCommerce, B2C Mobile, Customer Identity, Loyalty, CRM and Marketing Technology

Experience with API-first architecture, cloud-native platforms and modern integration patterns

Good understanding of architecture governance, security and non-functional requirements

Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills, and experience working with Agile delivery teams, technology partners and external vendors

Nice to have: retail or omnichannel experience, exposure to the Salesforce ecosystem (Commerce Cloud, Marketing Cloud, Service Cloud, Data Cloud, Loyalty Management), MACH/composable or headless commerce exposure, cloud platform experience (Azure, AWS or GCP), or TOGAF (or equivalent) certification. None of these are dealbreakers on their own — if your enterprise Digital architecture fundamentals are strong, we're more interested in that than a perfect tool checklist.

Whilst we are focused on our #CustomerFirst mantra, we know that wouldn't be possible without an incredible team that is guided by our MECCA values and motivated each and every day to be solutions focused, innovative, collaborative and adaptable, and have a bit of fun along the way!
