Please apply individually for the role(s) which interest you. Why Join the Team This is a chance to work at scale, to tackle complex architectural challenges, and to influence the journey from traditional broadcasting to a fully connected, on demand future. You'll join a supportive community of architects - working across disciplines to bring clarity, coherence, and innovation to everything we do. Your Key Responsibilities and Impact As Head of Architecture, you will define and support the delivery of the technical architecture in your area of responsibility. This includes both line management and setting overall strategy in a way that enables all engineering teams to work at scale and high efficiency. This is a highly collaborative role. You will work closely with a wide range of engineering, product, and business leaders, and with multi disciplinary teams across the organisation. You will use your communication and influencing skills to explain how your technical strategy contributes to wider business objectives, backed up by a coherent approach for delivering the strategy. In this role you will be one of the most senior technologists at the BBC. You will play a critical role in the organisation's digital transformation. Your key day to day responsibilities will include: Being part of the Product Group Engineering Leadership team, helping to drive the overall technology strategy with your peers. Being part of one or multiple cross discipline leadership teams, collaborating with Engineering, Product, Delivery, Data, UX, and other disciplines to develop successful products that grow the BBC's online reach. Line managing, coaching and developing a team of talented architects, as well as supporting a wide range of engineering and product teams. Owning the technology landscape within your area, identifying gaps and opportunities for improvement, and taking accountability for ensuring solutions are performant and sustainable. Playing a critical role in defining how to enable our platform strategy and engineering efficiency through capabilities that apply at all levels of our technical stack. Area of Responsibility In this role you will join three other Heads of Architecture to collectively own the architecture strategy and technical direction of the BBC's online products. Together this architecture leadership - which is part of the engineering leadership - must ensure architectural alignment across all teams. Within this role, your focus will be on the BBC's Data Platform and Account & Identity capabilities, which underpin both digital and broadcast experiences at national and global scale. These platforms enable audience insight, personalisation, operational decision making and regulatory compliance, forming a critical part of the BBC's future technology landscape. As Head of Architecture for Data Platform & Account & Identity, your responsibilities will include: Creating and evolving platform capabilities that support billions of audience events per day, enabling high availability, secure and scalable systems with near zero tolerance for failure. This includes data ingestion, processing, and analytics platforms, alongside identity and authentication services used by millions of users globally. Leading the transition from vertically aligned systems to domain oriented, platform based architectures. This includes embedding data product thinking, clear ownership models, discoverability and governance, and supporting the maturity of operating models across platform and product teams. Defining and governing architectural standards across data, AI/ML and identity ecosystems. This includes ensuring coherence across real time and batch processing, machine learning enablement platforms, and customer identity services, while maintaining regulatory compliance, managing risk, and ensuring long term technical sustainability. Establishing architectural approaches that enable responsible AI and ML at scale, balancing innovation and experimentation with appropriate governance and safety. Providing architectural leadership for major technology decisions, including platform strategy, vendor selection and investment prioritisation, with clear accountability for enterprise level outcomes and trade offs. Leading, coaching and developing a senior architecture team, and contributing to the wider engineering and product leadership community to strengthen architectural practices, culture and capability across the organisation. As with similar leadership roles, your areas of focus are likely to evolve over time to support new programmes of work and organisational priorities. Your Skills and Experience The ideal candidate will evidence the following skills and experience: Significant experience as a technical architect (or similar role), including defining and delivering a technical vision and strategy, and designing scalable, reliable, and maintainable architectures. Proven digital leader, with gravitas to work effectively with senior colleagues as well as being able to inspire, motivate and drive change through a large engineering team. Ability to present to and influence C Level colleagues, creating great interpersonal relationships across the organisation. A team player who can coach, develop and mentor others in our engineering community, and provide leadership amongst your peers. Significant experience leading in a software development environment, including agile delivery at scale, and with an informed view of architectural and engineering best practice. Knowledge of a broad range of technology concepts such as cloud computing (e.g. AWS), micro service architectures, event driven architectures and data processing at scale. Approaches to standardisation and governance, such as to manage efficiency, security and legal compliance, in a way that balances standardisation with autonomy at scale. Strong organisational skills that enable you to work across multiple specialist teams to align architecture goals and drive change and adoption. Continued professional development both as a leader and technologist, including a deep understanding of industry trends (e.g. AI). You will be expected to proactively identify and leverage these trends to drive innovation. This includes staying ahead of emerging technologies, assessing their potential impact, and integrating relevant advancements into our architecture strategy to ensure we remain at the forefront of digital transformation. Being a leader at the BBC means putting the organisation's interest, goals and values first, ahead of individual team or function needs. The characteristics of an enterprise leader are: Focuses on outcomes over activity, adapts quickly, and simplifies complexity. They balance short term actions with long term impact, take full accountability for actions and decision making, and prioritise capability development to create teams fit for the future. If you can bring some of these skills and experiences, along with transferable strengths, we'd love to hear from you and encourage you to apply.
