Enterprise Architect
Summary
MPLC's first dedicated Enterprise Architect reporting to the CIO, owning end-to-end architecture across systems, data, integrations and platforms, with a strong emphasis on Salesforce, APIs and connecting CRM, finance and business applications in a remote UK role.
About MPLC
MPLC is the legal way to show movies and TV in public or commercial spaces across the globe. For over 30 years, we’ve been the trusted partner to major Hollywood studios, independent producers, and the wider creative ecosystem, ensuring content creators are paid fairly and organisations respect copyright.
About Global Technology Services
GTS is technology at MPLC, all of it. And we are honest about where we are: we are rebuilding and elevating our technology capability, from the ground up and by design. New platforms, new data foundations, new roles: this team is being built for what MPLC becomes, not what it was. You will own real outcomes early, automate the repetitive rather than absorb it, and help shape the rebuild rather than inherit someone else’s. Technology is the engine of how MPLC grows. People are the fuel. AI is the turbocharger. That is where you come in.
The Role in Two Bullet Points
Reporting to the CIO, you'll take ownership of the overall architecture of our technology estate, covering systems, data, integrations and platform design. You'll help define how our applications fit together, where critical business data should live and how information moves across the organisation.
Working closely with key business stakeholders, you'll ensure technology decisions support the wider goals of the business. You'll establish standards, guide platform selection, design integration patterns and help create a technology estate that's easier to maintain, scale and evolve.
This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys turning strategy into reality. You'll be expected to influence direction, document decisions, test ideas and work alongside the team to bring architectural designs to life.
You'll Love This Role If...
• Remote Working with occasional travel.
• 25 days’ holiday plus bank holidays
• Private medical insurance (AXA), including dental, optical and 24/7 GP access.
• Life assurance at 3x base salary (Legal & General).
• Salary sacrifice pension with Aviva, 4% employer contribution.

The Role in Two Bullet Points
- Define and own the architecture that connects MPLC's systems, data and platforms, ensuring the technology estate scales in a structured and sustainable way.
- Lead the design of integrations, systems of record and platform standards that create a connected, governed and future-ready technology environment.
Responsibilities
- You'll be MPLC's first dedicated architecture hire, so there won't be an established architecture function waiting for you.
- This role is as much about influencing people and decisions as it is about technical expertise.
- You'll need to be comfortable making recommendations and providing clear direction across multiple teams and stakeholders.
- Some systems and processes have developed organically over time, so part of the role is creating clarity, consistency and structure.
- We need someone who's practical and delivery-focused. Well-designed diagrams are helpful, but only if they lead to better outcomes.
