The Role:
We’re looking for a Solution Architect with experience in warehouse management and logistics systems to help modernise and align our supply chain technology estate. You’ll take the lead in defining how WMS solutions support our evolving logistics strategy — working across global teams to deliver scalable, future-ready architecture.
This role is part of a small but influential architecture function that partners closely with engineering, logistics, and business leaders to set standards, coach teams, and support transformation.
You’ll report into the Global Head of Architecture & Technology and work alongside architecture peers, engineering teams, and supply chain leaders across the UK. You’ll also collaborate with vendors and product teams — especially in the delivery and enhancement of warehouse, inventory, and logistics platforms.
What You’ll Do:
* Define and document current and future state architecture for logistics and warehouse systems
* Lead the architectural vision for WMS transformation, supporting global distribution and fulfilment
* Translate strategy into actionable, value-led work packages that integrate with our product roadmaps
* Govern and evolve architecture principles, guardrails and best practices across domains
* Collaborate with vendor partners and internal stakeholders to deliver sustainable, scalable solutions
* Use modelling tools like ArchiMate to communicate architecture clearly and effectively
* Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) — ideally Blue Yonder
What You’ll Bring:
* Significant experience designing and delivering architecture for logistics, warehousing, or supply chain domains
* Familiarity with WMS platforms, ideally Blue Yonder
* Strong communication skills and ability to engage technical and business stakeholders
* Experience working in a Scaled Agile environment
* Ability to translate strategy into solution architecture and roadmaps that drive business outcomes
Nice to have:
* Cloud architecture expertise (AWS, Azure, GCP)
* Experience working with complex vendor ecosystems
* Exposure to the electrical wholesale, distribution, or retail industries
