Solution Delivery Architect- Adobe

Solution Delivery Architect for Adobe at POP

We are looking for a Solution Delivery Architect for Adobe at POP. You'll serve as the connector between our internal disciplines of Creative, Strategy, Engineering, Quality Assurance and Delivery for digital experience engagements. Additionally, you'll act as a liaison and partner with our clients as our subject matter expert in the Adobe Experience Cloud ecosystem, helping them understand how components of the platform work to solve their business problems. You'll take ownership of the technical approach (from concept through to deployment) and then transition into oversight of execution, ensuring the solution vision is realized, the team is guided, client review-gates are scheduled, risks are managed, and internal/external milestones are met.

What You'll Do

• Partner with new business or internal project teams to understand client requirements, business objectives and technical constraints
• Lead the technical solution design for our Adobe projects: define architecture, choose appropriate technologies, develop the solution specification/blueprint, integration points, performance/security/non-functional requirements
• Act as our internal and client technology partner for our Adobe solutions, using your deep technical knowledge of the Adobe Experience Cloud platform as a basis to translating technical detail into business-friendly language and vice-versa
• Produce documentation (solution architecture diagrams, data/analytics flows, integration flows, build specifications) and present it to stakeholders (internal teams and clients)
• Transition to technical delivery oversight: act as the technical lead during the build phase. Run regular architecture and delivery check-ins, respond to engineering team questions, enforce architecture and quality standards, monitor progress and alignment with project specifications
• Define and schedule review-gates: internal engineering reviews, QA/UX reviews, stakeholder/client reviews and approvals; ensure appropriate timing and dependencies are managed
• Escalate and mitigate technical/architectural/delivery risks and issues (e.g., technical debt, scope creep, build deviations, resource constraints)
• Work with PM(s) and engineering leads to ensure dependencies, schedule, resourcing, and deliverables are aligned with the architecture and client commitments
• Continuously ensure that the delivered solution meets functional and non-functional requirements, meets code/architecture standards, and aligns with the client's long-term digital experience roadmap
• Post-delivery: work with the delivery team to conduct architecture/delivery retrospectives, capture lessons learned, feed into future solution frameworks and POP best practices

What We're Looking For

• 5-8+ years of experience in digital/agency or technology services environment building Adobe Experience Cloud solutions, digital experiences, campaigns or platforms
• Proven experience designing and delivering end-to-end Adobe technical solutions, from architecture through to delivery with oversight responsibilities, specifically with AEM Sites, AEM Forms, Assets and Adobe Target
• Deep understanding of modern web/digital experience tech stacks (front-end frameworks, headless CMS, APIs, microservices, cloud services, analytics/data flows, performance/security considerations) and how those integrate and are used in Adobe-based solutions
• Hands-on experience with engineering teams: you've been responsible not only for specifications but for ensuring the build lives up to the architecture; you've done check-ins, reviews, guided engineering teams, managed risk/delivery issues
• Strong project/delivery skills: you understand scheduling, review-gates, dependencies, stakeholder management, and you can partner with PMs and developers to keep projects on track
• Excellent communication skills: you can convey architectural concepts to both engineering and non-engineering stakeholders, facilitate architecture/delivery review meetings, and represent the technical voice in client/agency discussions
• Ability to balance high-level architectural thinking with the pragmatic demands of agency delivery (speed to market, iteration, campaign constraints, budget/resources)
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, agency environment with multiple concurrent engagements, shifting priorities, and dynamic teams
• Ability to travel up to 10% for client engagements as needed
