Commercial Technology Architect

Our Team: How we enrich everyday life

Bauer Media Audio is Europe’s leading commercial audio broadcaster. We are evolving the world of audio through innovation across Broadcast and Digital. You’ll join our collaborative architecture practice and work closely with the Audio Advertising Platform, Commercial and Data teams across multiple markets.

The Difference you will make

As an Architect for Commercial Technology, you will shape the platforms that power our commercial business, including CRM, ad sales, campaign management, audience data and reporting. You will connect these capabilities into a clear end-to-end architecture across Broadcast and Digital.

Your role

You will own the architecture view for commercial technology, helping teams make confident, well-informed technical decisions.

Responsibilities

• Own and maintain the technical architecture across CDP, CRM, ad sales, campaign management, ad serving, programmatic platforms, reporting and integrations.

• Ensure the architecture supports the full commercial journey, from audience and proposition through sales, campaign delivery, measurement and reporting.

• Partner with Commercial, Product, Data and Ad Operations teams to integrate advertising technology across Broadcast and Digital.

• Lead design reviews, surface options and trade-offs, maintain the shared technical model and drive clear Architecture Decision Records.

• Guide build, buy and integrate decisions, considering reuse, lifecycle and total cost of ownership.

• Engage Security, Legal, Finance and Infrastructure early so solutions are secure, practical and well governed.

• Provide architectural oversight of vendors and balance local market needs with shared standards and scalable capabilities.

The Skills you will bring:

Essential:

• Strong technical foundations and solutions architecture experience.

• Practical experience with commercial or marketing technology, such as CDP, CRM, ad sales or campaign management platforms.

• Experience working with data teams on data flows, structures and non-functional requirements.

• Clear communication across technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Ability to lead through influence, collaboration, patience and persuasion in a multi-market environment.

Desirable:

• Cloud experience, ideally AWS.

• Knowledge of system integration or iPaaS tooling.

• Experience in media, broadcast or advertising technology.

• Experience in matrix or multi-market organisations.

You do not need deep experience across every platform. Strong architecture foundations matters most. We know great candidates may not meet every requirement. If the role excites you and your experience is relevant, we’d still like to hear from you.
