This is a new role, created because the organization is ready to move personalization and AI-driven marketing technology from concept to production - and needs someone who can turn that ambition into a tangible technical roadmap. You'll lead a team of four architects covering AEM, marketing communications (Adobe Campaign), fundraising systems, and analytics/personalization (Adobe Target). Business stakeholders know _what_ they want - deeper donor relationships and more consistent giving. Your job is to show them how they get there: architect the systems, mentor your team to build working proof-of-concepts and get marketing leaders excited about what's possible. The work location for this exciting opportunity is virtual. The selected candidate will work 100% remotely from home and can be located anywhere in the United States but must work an east coast schedule. WHERE YOUR CAREER IS A FORCE FOR GOOD (Key Responsibilities): Personalization & Platform Strategy + Lead the technical evaluation and integration of personalization and journey-orchestration platforms - including Adobe Real-Time CDP, Adobe Journey Optimizer, and integrations with our Salesforce Marketing Cloud ecosystem - and make the architectural case for the solutions that best fit our existing technology investments. + Identify opportunities to take advantage of existing investments in the Adobe Experience Cloud and marketing profiles to drive engagement across platforms. + Own service delivery for web personalization, translating business goals into insight-driven, actionable campaigns. Hands-On Delivery & Enablement + Build proof-of-concepts yourself, hands-on, that give marketing and fundraising leaders something real to react to - not just a roadmap slide. + Provide expert guidance on emerging tools and technology trends, and act as the technical translator between what the business wants and what is achievable. + Anchor the Fundraising Agile Release Train as a Systems Architect, working directly with senior leadership to realize value. Generative AI Architecture + Lead the expansion of Generative AI across the organization's marketing technology systems, with strong attention to governance, safety, and sound technical design. + Guide architectural decisions as existing martech platforms increasingly incorporate LLM-driven capabilities. Team Leadership & Roadmapping + Manage and mentor a team of four architects (AEM, marketing communications, fundraising systems, analytics/personalization), building a culture where proof-of-concepts - not just plans - drive decisions. + Own the department's technology architecture roadmap, working directly with business leaders to translate multi-year vision into deliverable increments. + Lead evaluation and selection of architectural standards, tools, and processes across the marketing technology stack. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Scope: Establish operating policies and procedures that affect departments and subordinate sections and work units. Interpret company-wide policies and procedures. Develop budgets, schedules, and performance standards. ## Related Videos - [3x Performance: A Humbling Journey](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100165-3x-performance-a-humbling-journey) - [Delete the roles, deploy the skills](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2104-delete-the-roles-deploy-the-skills) - [JavaScript?
