At VML, we are a beacon of innovation and growth in an ever-evolving world. Our heritage is built upon a century of combined expertise, where creativity meets technology, and diverse perspectives ignite inspiration. With the merger of VMLY&R and Wunderman Thompson, we have forged a new path as a growth partner that is part creative agency, part consultancy, and part technology powerhouse.
Our global family now encompasses over 30,000 employees across 150+ offices in 64 markets, each contributing to a culture that values connection, belonging, and the power of differences. Our expertise spans the entire customer journey, offering deep insights in communications, commerce, consultancy, CRM, CX, data, production, and technology. We deliver end-to-end solutions that result in revolutionary work.
A unique opportunity to help lead and grow our Shopify practice from a Technical Architecture perspective. This is a multi-faceted role for a talented and client-facing Technical Architect, who is well versed in the Shopify platform, has demonstrable experience architecting and delivering solutions built on Shopify, and someone who can lead conversations both internally and externally with key technical stakeholders.
What you’ll be doing:
The successful candidate will be pivotal in providing technical architecture leadership and support for our Shopify practice. You will be working with business and technical stakeholders on a wide and interesting range of topics and solutions. You will be using your knowledge of the Shopify platform and its roadmap to provide core technical architecture services for our clients, and you will also be using that knowledge to help guide our new-business, client, and engineering teams.
This is not a role for someone who doesn’t love architecture, engineering, and solving technical problems with grace and pragmatism. You will be expected to lead conversations about your Shopify solutions with clients and engineers alike. The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate a seasoned and experienced approach to technical architecture in enterprise e-commerce landscapes, following best practices, aware of industry trends, and with significant experience delivering the Shopify platform to large-scale businesses.
What we want from you:
If you know some of this, even better:
Alongside the opportunity to work with some of the most exciting brands around the world, we’ll also prioritise your career development and help you grow your skills. We’ll empower you to make a difference, allow you to be yourself, and respect who you are.
Permanent only:
We offer a great benefits package including training opportunities, medical insurance, Dental insurance, Meal cards, social events, family friendly policies, discounts with hundreds of retailers and much more.
Our personality and behaviours: We believe that we are what we do, not just what we say. Our shared values and behaviours show how to bring the VML Enterprise Solution's culture to life through the actions we all take every day:
Our brilliant, talented people are what makes VML Enterprise Solutions what we are. That’s why we look for people who go beyond and always push our thinking to be better than yesterday.

With over 4,200 experts in 55 operational centres across 34 countries, our capabilities span the entire buying journey from customer acquisition, through engagement, to conversion and loyalty, driving multi-channel growth for world-leading brands.
We work with some of the most exciting brands such as The Coca-Cola Company, EY, Bosch, Unilever, Ford, DFS, Mercedes-Benz, Johnson & Johnson, Nestlé, Sainsbury’s, Selfridges, Shell and Tiffany & Co. We’ve built over 500 platforms for brands and retailers and generate in excess of $29bn annually for our clients and work with over 50 strategic partners including Adobe, SAP, Salesforce, HCL, Shopify, Sitecore, BigCommerce, commerce tools and Acquia. Our reputation is based on our people, and we believe we have some of the best in the business.
As our business grows internationally, we’re looking for new people to join us on our journey to inspire and take a key role in shaping some of the best commerce solutions, services, and websites in the world.
