Enterprise Architect – Content Supply Chain

Enterprise Architect Fully remote Duration: Long term contract

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.
