• Partner with Enterprise Architecture to align decisions with long-term strategy.

Data, AI & Personalization:

• Architect the data and AI layer to enable intelligent search, personalization, and marketing-to-sales data flows.
• Support migration of content from Sprinklr and consolidation of Digital Asset Management into Sitecore.
• Collaborate on connecting marketing platform data to analytics and data warehouse platforms for KPI measurement.

Must-Have Qualifications:

• 12+ years of solution architecture experience, with at least 4 years focused on enterprise CMS/DXP platforms (Sitecore strongly preferred).
• Proven experience delivering large-scale CMS re-platform or migration programs involving multiple system integrators and vendors.
• Experience designing multi-country, multi-language Sitecore architectures.
• Strong track record managing complex integration landscapes (CRM, DAM, identity, analytics, CDN) in a CMS context.
• Comfort operating in matrixed, multi-stakeholder environments with formal governance.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or related field.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Direct hands-on experience with Sitecore AI / XM Cloud in a production environment.
• Experience with Sitecore's composable DXP stack (Content Hub, Search, Personalize, Send, CDP).
• Experience with Sprinklr migration or replacement.
• Headless CMS architecture with Vercel/Next.js.
• Salesforce CRM / Marketing Cloud (or Pardot) integration with CMS platforms.
• AWS or Azure hosting, CDN, and CI/CD experience for large public websites.
• Background in commercial real estate, financial services, or professional services digital platforms.
• Sitecore certifications (XM Cloud, Content Hub, or equivalent).

Soft Skills & Leadership:
