About the Role

We are looking for a high-impact Platform Architect to drive the evolution of our complex IT & financial operations across the group.

In this role you will be the driving force behind a robust technical strategy that ensures our IT & financial systems are scalable, secure, and automated. You will act as a trusted advisor to non-technical system owners, translating business needs into a clear, ambitious technical roadmap.

This is a high-autonomy role for someone who wants to architect the agentic, AI-driven future of IT operations and finance operations.

What You'll Do

At the essence of this role is:

Ownership: Define, own and drive the architectural vision for our group wide IT ecosystem. You will ensure our financial systems (Netsuite, Anaplan, Aaro, Looker, etc.) are integrated and automated to ensure that they support our business goals of fast and accurate financial reporting, and support an agentic future.

Partner: Be the go-to technical advisor for system owners and leaders in Finance, Tech, Content, Publishing, and beyond. Translate complexity into clarity, and make sure technical decisions serve business outcomes.

Modernization: You are expected to drive modernization efforts of our group wide IT systems and be a self starter with a vision.

Consolidate: Drive a unified IT ecosystem across Streaming, Publishing, and other subsidiaries, ensuring systems, processes, and data models work together to support efficient operations and group-wide visibility.

What We're Looking For

We believe that you have:

Deep technical foundation in software engineering and cloud infrastructure. Experience with financial systems (NetSuite, fintech platforms, ERP integrations) is a strong plus.

Business fluency. You see technology as a means to an end.

High agency. You spot problems, define the solution, and move. Permission isn't a prerequisite.

Excellent communicator. Equally comfortable explaining API design to a CFO and compliance requirements to an engineer.

Pragmatism. You balance long-term architectural integrity with the realities of a fast-moving business.
