We are seeking a senior Solution Architect to lead the technical architecture for a major global digital transformation initiative. You will own the end-to-end solution architecture for re-platforming a large enterprise website from a legacy CMS to Sitecore AI (formerly Sitecore XM Cloud). This platform will power intelligent search, AI-driven personalization, content governance, and multi-country localization across 60+ websites. This is a hands-on, delivery-focused architecture role working in a complex multi-vendor, multi-stakeholder environment with an active go-live timeline.

• Platform Architecture & Technical Leadership:
  Own the complete solution architecture for the Sitecore AI re-platform (content management, DAM, AI search, personalization, and SSO/authentication).
• 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.

• 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.

• 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).

• Ability to serve as the technical voice in executive-level steering committees.
• Excellent written and verbal communication — able to translate complex architecture into clear business language.
• Experience managing and holding offshore/nearshore SI partners accountable.
