Enterprise Architect – Content Supply Chain

Key Responsibilities

• Serve as the senior architecture leader and trusted advisor for enterprise content supply chain transformation initiatives.
• Lead discovery with marketing, creative, brand, content operations, product and technology stakeholders.
• Map the current-state content lifecycle: intake, planning, creation, review and approval, asset management, publishing, distribution and measurement.
• Identify bottlenecks, duplicate tools, manual handoffs, governance gaps and content reuse failures.
• Define current-state, transition-state and future-state content supply chain architectures.
• Architect how AEM Sites and AEM Assets work together for authoring, asset reuse, Dynamic Media delivery and multi-site or multi-brand publishing.
• Design how Adobe Workfront supports planning, intake, workflow, reviews and approvals, and how it connects to AEM Assets.
• Where relevant, define how GenStudio and Firefly fit into governed content creation, variation and activation workflows.
• Establish standards for metadata, taxonomy, permissions, digital rights, brand governance and content retention.
• Design integrations between AEM, Workfront, Creative Cloud, and enterprise systems such as identity, PIM, CRM, commerce and analytics.
• Define how content connects to downstream activation and measurement, such as Adobe Experience Platform, Journey Optimizer and Analytics, where the engagement requires it.
• Develop phased roadmaps with implementation sequencing, dependencies, migration approach and investment recommendations.
• Evaluate where Adobe, third-party or custom solutions should be used, and explain tradeoffs to senior stakeholders.
• Guide solution architects, AEM and Workfront teams, and delivery leads so implementation stays aligned with the approved architecture.
• Create and present architecture diagrams, content flow maps, roadmaps, decision documents and executive presentations.
• Support presales discovery, RFP/RFI responses, proposals, estimates and account growth.

Required Qualifications

• 12+ years of experience in enterprise architecture, solution architecture, digital transformation or technology consulting.
• Proven experience designing a large enterprise's content supply chain (how it plans, creates, manages and delivers content at scale, from intake through publishing); or, in place of that, deep Adobe Experience Cloud architecture experience, ideally with AEM.
• Architecture ownership on enterprise Experience Manager implementations, with AEM Sites and AEM Assets the most important (AEM as a Cloud Service preferred).
• Experience defining metadata models, taxonomy, permissions and governance for enterprise content and digital asset management.
• Experience developing current-state, future-state and transition-state architectures and multiyear roadmaps.
• Experience designing integrations between AEM and enterprise systems, including identity, creative tools, commerce, PIM, CRM or analytics.
• Strong understanding of cloud-native, API-first and composable architecture on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud.
• Client-facing consulting experience, including leading discovery and presenting recommendations to directors, vice presidents, CMOs, CIOs, CTOs or comparable executives.
• Experience supporting presales solutioning, including RFP/RFI responses, estimates and architecture proposals.
• Current or previously earned Adobe professional certification is required.
• Ability to describe specific client projects, the architecture decisions they personally owned and the business outcomes delivered.

Preferred Qualifications

• Workfront architecture or implementation experience, including Workfront Planning, intake, workflow and approval design.
• Hands-on experience connecting Workfront to AEM Assets (native connector or Workfront Fusion).
• Experience with Adobe GenStudio, GenStudio for Performance Marketing, Firefly Services or Firefly Custom Models in governed enterprise content workflows.
• Familiarity with AI-assisted or agentic content workflows, including Adobe Brand Intelligence.
• Experience with review and approval, AEM Assets Content Hub, Dynamic Media, Brand Portal or Adobe Content Analytics.
• Experience connecting content to activation and measurement through Adobe Experience Platform, Journey Optimizer, Customer Journey Analytics or Adobe Analytics.
• Adobe certifications in AEM Sites, AEM Assets or Workfront.
• Experience with large-scale asset migrations (100,000+ assets) from legacy DAM platforms.
• Consulting, systems integration or digital agency background.
• Experience in regulated industries with asset rights, retention and audit requirements.

What Success Looks Like

• Client leadership has a clear, achievable future-state content supply chain architecture and roadmap.
• Content moves from request to publish with fewer handoffs, less duplication and faster cycle times.
• AEM Sites, AEM Assets and Workfront operate as one connected content system rather than separate tools.
• Metadata, rights and brand governance are defined early and enforced through the platform.
• Delivery teams have clear architectural direction, standards and decision guardrails.
• The client views this individual as a trusted strategic and technical advisor.
