    • Collaborate with the data and analytics team to support the growth and integration of the data and
    analytics platform, ensuring its architecture is aligned with the broader company architecture and
    effectively supports business objectives.

    • Ensure our architecture remains agile and scalable, facilitating quick adaptation to market changes
    and new opportunities.

    • Engage with the software engineering community to uphold engineering excellence, ensuring the
    appropriate definition and use of standards, patterns, and the evolution of tools.

    Requirements


    • A proven leader with extensive experience in technology architecture, ideally within a techforward, dynamic environment.

    • A visionary with a solid understanding of modern architecture principles, including containerisation
    and microservices, and how they can be leveraged to support Rightmove's mission.

    • Demonstrable experience in managing a variety of technology systems, emphasizing both in-house
    developments and external solutions.

    • A strategic thinker, capable of aligning technology initiatives with broader business goals and the
    unique needs of the property market.

    • Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills.

    • A track record of fostering an open, collaborative culture, and supporting and developing a diverse
    workforce
