Define and govern integration patterns with Salesforce CRM, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Sprinklr, Box, AWS/Azure, Vercel, and other systems.
Design multi-tenant, multi-locale architecture supporting phased global rollout across 60+ country sites.
Lead SSO and cascading authentication architecture across Sitecore sub-applications.
Establish page template standards that balance global consistency with local market needs.
Delivery & Vendor Governance:
Act as the primary technical counterpart to the system integrator, holding them accountable to architecture standards and delivery commitments.
Participate in and support executive Steering Committee meetings.
Drive architecture workshops, risk mitigation, and decision documentation.
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.
