AdTech Architect – Retail Media & Programmatic Advertising

Introduction

We’re seeking an experienced AdTech Architect to join a leading organisation within the retail industry, supporting the growth and evolution of its Retail Media technology platform. This is an exciting opportunity for someone with a strong background in the advertising technology ecosystem who enjoys working across commercial advertising platforms, technical integrations, and partner collaborations.

This is not a traditional enterprise architecture role. Instead, we’re looking for an individual who can combine AdTech expertise with technical integration and solution design to help shape a modern retail media ecosystem.

The Role

As an AdTech Architect, you will support and enhance a retail media technology ecosystem by working closely with internal teams and external advertising technology partners. You will play a key role in designing and supporting integrations, developing data partnerships, and helping shape technical solutions across the advertising technology landscape.

Key Responsibilities

• Support and oversee integrations between retail media platforms and external AdTech partners.
• Work across a broad advertising technology ecosystem including platforms such as:
  • Google
  • Meta
  • The Trade Desk
  • PubMatic
  • Other SSPs, DSPs and AdTech vendors
• Design and support system-to-system integrations, primarily through APIs.
• Explore and develop data partnership opportunities within the AdTech and retail media landscape.
• Help create and shape technical solutions and architectural frameworks around advertising technologies.

Essential Skills & Experience

• Strong experience within the advertising technology (AdTech) and digital advertising ecosystem.
• Good understanding of AdTech terminology, products, partners and industry practices.
• Experience working with DSPs, SSPs, ad exchanges, programmatic advertising tools and measurement technologies.
• Experience with advertising platforms such as Google, Meta, The Trade Desk, PubMatic and other AdTech vendors.
• Understanding of API-driven integrations and data flows between platforms.
• Ability to engage with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• A blend of advertising domain expertise and technical architecture/integration capability.
• Comfortable operating in a hybrid role combining business, technology and partner integration responsibilities.
• Ability to understand the AdTech ecosystem and translate business requirements into technical solutions.

Key Hiring Considerations

• Advertising technology experience is the primary requirement.
• Technical architecture knowledge is important but does not need to be at the level of a traditional Enterprise Architect.
• The successful candidate will demonstrate the right balance of AdTech expertise and technical integration capability.
