Provide architectural input to vendor and tooling decisions, evaluating technology options and providing recommendations for platform evolution. Maintain comprehensive documentation of design decisions, patterns, standards, and trade-offs. Define non-functional platform architecture standards covering resilience, backup/restore, disaster recovery, observability, service levels, auditability and operational readiness. Define platform security and privacy architecture in partnership with Cyber Security and Data Governance, including PII handling, access recertification, audit logging and retention patterns. Establish architecture decision records, exception/waiver processes and design scorecards so deviations from platform standards are visible, time-bound and governed. Maintain platform adoption, performance, cost and standards-compliance metrics, using them to guide roadmap priorities and architecture governance decisions. PERSONAL PROFILE Deep expertise in Databricks (Unity Catalog, Delta Lake, Spark, Databricks SQL) or equivalent Lakehouse platforms, including administration, cost management, and performance optimisation. Strong understanding of cloud-native architecture principles, cost models, and practical experience with CI/CD pipelines and environment strategies. Proven implementation of data security (encryption, RBAC, column/row-level security, data masking). Strong understanding of ingestion and pipeline architecture patterns for diverse source systems. Experience with SAP data landscapes (BW, Datasphere, S/4HANA data flows) is highly desirable given the Burberry technology estate. Experience defining architectural standards and patterns that engineering teams implement and comfortable setting direction without hands-on delivery. Experience working within a centralised architecture function that engages flexibly with delivery squads. Ability to communicate architectural decisions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Experience establishing architectural authority in environments transitioning from outsourced to in-house ownership is beneficial. Experience defining non-functional requirements and architecture patterns for enterprise-grade resilience, observability, disaster recovery, data lifecycle management and operational readiness.
