About The Position

Seeking an experienced AEM Solution Architect to assess a largely vendor-built Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) as a Cloud Service environment and define a sustainable long-term support model for a highly visible public-facing digital platform. This platform is one of the organization's most critical digital assets. The current AEM environment is highly customized and lacks internal transparency. This role is responsible for bringing clarity to the architecture, identifying strengths and risks, and defining a scalable, maintainable path forward. The engagement will begin with a comprehensive architecture and platform assessment, followed by ongoing strategic advisory support, including transition planning, governance, and architectural decision-making.

Responsibilities

• Evaluate the current AEM as a Cloud Service implementation
• Distinguish standard platform practices from over-customization or unnecessary complexity
• Assess long-term maintainability and recommend simplification or remediation strategies
• Define an appropriate future-state support model (internal, vendor, or hybrid)
• Develop a transition roadmap from current-state to future-state operations
• Identify required roles, skillsets, and team structure
• Lead architecture and solution design across AEM tools (Sites, Assets, Forms, etc.)
• Define component, template, and experience architecture
• Translate business requirements into technical architecture, workflows, and content models
• Establish architectural guardrails and standards
• Provide guidance on security, performance, and code quality
• Support development teams with best practices and code review standards
• Identify gaps in existing documentation and establish standards
• Ensure critical platform knowledge is documented and retained internally
• Facilitate knowledge transfer from vendors to internal teams
• Partner with product, UX, engineering, operations, and procurement stakeholders
• Support alignment between business goals and technical solutions
• Serve as a trusted technical advisor to leadership
• Translate complex technical concepts into clear, actionable insights for non-technical audiences
• Identify platform risks, dependencies, and technical debt
• Provide clear recommendations and decision frameworks
• Support leadership in evaluating current vs. future-state tradeoffs
• Evaluate current vendor performance and responsibilities
• Provide input into future vendor/contractor scopes, roles, and expectations
