Our goal is to maximize airlines' operational efficiency by optimizing resource use, reduce costs and increase customer experience and satisfaction.
We are seeking a Principal Architect to be embedded with our customer, working at a strategic and hands-on level to define technology strategy, roadmaps, architectural principles and guardrails across multiple domains.

- Demonstrated track record defining technology strategies, architectural roadmaps and governance frameworks in complex, multi-platform environments
- Strong experience translating business requirements into architectural principles and standards that guide delivery teams
- Ability to work across multiple technical domains (e.g. cloud, data, integration, AI, infrastructure) without being limited to a single specialisation
- Experience working in customer-facing or embedded roles, comfortable building relationships with stakeholders and technical teams across an organisation
Key responsibilities & duties include:
- Define and articulate technology strategy and architectural roadmaps aligned with the customer's business objectives
- Establish architectural principles, standards and guardrails that provide clear governance across multiple domains without becoming prescriptive

- Provide cross-domain technical direction and oversight, ensuring consistency and coherence across the customer's technology landscape
- Work closely with the customer's stakeholders to understand business priorities and constraints, embedding architectural thinking into programme delivery
