Why Join Primark's Technology Strategy & Architecture Team?
We sat down with Pete Rhodes, Director of Technology Strategy & Architecture at Primark, to hear about the people, projects and opportunities that make Primark's architecture team unique. Pete shared how architects help shape business decisions, drive meaningful change and build rewarding careers while supporting the growth of a global retailer.
What Does a Technology Architect Do at Primark?
One of the things that genuinely excites me about working at Primark is that architecture has the opportunity to make a real difference.
We're not sitting on the sidelines producing documents or reviewing designs after the fact. We're partnering with leaders across the business to help solve problems, unlock opportunities and enable Primark's continued growth.
How Can Architects Influence Business Strategy and Growth?
As Primark continues its expansion journey, technology is increasingly central to how we scale, enter new markets, improve customer and colleague experiences, and operate more effectively. Our architects have a genuine seat at the table, helping shape decisions that support business ambitions and turn strategy into practical outcomes.
What Makes a Successful Technology Architect at Primark?
What I love about our team is that we combine strategic thinking with a hands-on approach. We encourage people to be curious, challenge constructively, build strong relationships and focus on delivering value rather than simply following process.
The best architects at Primark are those who take the time to understand the business, work collaboratively with stakeholders, and use technology to make things better.
What Technology Architecture Career Opportunities Are Available?
The opportunities are incredibly diverse. Whether your passion is customer experiences, digital platforms, stores, supply chain, data and AI, cloud technologies, integration or emerging innovation, you'll find meaningful challenges and the ability to influence change at scale.
How is Primark's Architecture Team Shaping the Future of Retail?
We've worked hard to build an architecture function that is trusted by the business and recognised for the value it creates. At the same time, we're still on a journey ourselves, which means there is significant opportunity for you to shape our future direction, grow your career and leave a lasting mark on one of the world's most successful retailers.
What Is the Culture Like in Primark's Architecture Team?
You’ll be joining a team that genuinely enjoys working together. We support each other, learn from each other and celebrate success together.
That's something I'm particularly proud of, and I believe it's one of the reasons people enjoy building their careers here.
