This is a client-facing leadership seat, not a back-office architecture job -you'll advise CMOs, CIOs, and CTOs directly, turning their business goals into multi-year Experience Cloud roadmaps, and you'll own architecture across the full Adobe stack (AEM, Analytics, Target, Real-Time CDP, Journey Optimizer/Campaign) rather than a single product silo.
It blends deep technical credibility with real influence over enterprise transformation programs and the integration with the existing customer tech stack.
Unified Architecture team sits at the center of Adobe's Customer Experience business, working on the same accounts and platforms that anchor Adobe's enterprise growth story -AEM Cloud Service, Experience Platform, and increasingly GenStudio and Fireflypowered personalization.
Architects here get a direct feedback channel into Adobe product teams, shaping the roadmap rather than just consuming it.
