Role Type: Senior Individual Contributor (Non Manager)
Team: Adobe Practice - Operational Readiness & Optimization
Location: Remote within the US| Travel ~1020%
Hours: Weekly hours can be flexible, up to 40 hours/week.
Role Overview
We are hiring a Senior Workfront & Adobe Fusion Architect to serve as an embedded consulting delivery resource within our Adobe Operations & Workflow practice. This role is both strategic and extremely hands on designed for someone who can assess each client's individual systems, make intelligent architectural recommendations, and personally build and validate the solution in Workfront and Fusion.
The ideal candidate has architected and led Workfront/Fusion solutions at scale, guided enterprise decisioning, defined standards, and influenced governance while also being a practitioner who lives in the platform (configuring workflows, building Fusion scenarios, optimizing reporting, and troubleshooting issues directly). This role exists because we need someone who can do what our strongest practitioners do: lead AND build.
Key Responsibilities
Delivery Capacity + Hands On Execution (Critical)
" Hands-on Workfront configuration: request queues, routing logic, templates, custom forms, dashboards, portfolio/program structures, access models, layout templates, and operational governance.
" Hands-on Fusion integration development: building, testing, troubleshooting, and optimizing scenarios using OOTB modules, APIs, JSON patterns, and webhooks.
" Hands-on workflow optimization: improving routing logic, reducing bottlenecks, validating end to end processes, and tuning operational throughput.
" Hands-on advanced reporting: creating text mode fields, calculated metrics, KPI models, operational dashboards, and portfolio-level reporting frameworks.
" Hands-on troubleshooting & UAT: replicating issues, validating fixes, documenting requirements, and ensuring production readiness.
" Hands-on prototyping: demonstrating feasibility by building live or near live prototypes in Workfront/Fusion.
Architecture & Platform Leadership
" Serve as a Workfront Architect with 3+ years of architecture/technical lead experience in enterprise environments.
" Own the architecture, configuration, and integration strategy across multiple business units with both global standardization and necessary BU flexibility.
" Define and govern enterprise Workfront standards (objects, workflows, templates, statuses, routing logic).
" Design scalable workflows across portfolios, programs, and delivery teams.
" Advise clients on customization vs. standardization decisions to maintain governance and usability.
" Ensure Workfront operates as a scalable enterprise platform, integrated with DAM, AEM, and broader MarTech/ops ecosystems.
Integrations & Automation
" Lead integrations with AEM Assets (DAM), AEM (CMS), and enterprise systems requiring metadata, content, or workflow coordination.
" Design and implement fusion automation using Workfront Fusion, APIs, JSON payloads, and webhooks.
" Optimize integrations for operational efficiency, error-handling, governance, and scalability.
Business-Facing Consulting & Advisory
" Lead discovery sessions, operational assessments, and roadmap development.
" Make strategic recommendations based on each clients unique systems, constraints, and operational maturity.
" Guide architecture decisions, governance frameworks, and executive-level alignment.
" Facilitate workshops with PMO, marketing ops, creative ops, and cross-functional teams.
Practice Development & Enablement
" Create reusable accelerators: text mode libraries, workflow templates, Fusion patterns, reporting models, maturity frameworks, and governance checklists.
" Upskill internal teams on hands-on Workfront/Fusion delivery methods and enterprise best practices.
" Support cross-solution alignment with AEP, AEM, Marketo, Campaign, and related teams.
Client Enablement
" Deliver structured documentation, playbooks, process maps, and handoff materials.
" Establish intake committees, governance councils, and operational working sessions.
" Coach client teams toward self-sufficiency and sustainable platform ownership.
Required Qualifications
" Active Adobe certifications required:
o Adobe Workfront Core Developer Expert (AD0 E903) or Workfront Core Developer Professional
o Adobe Workfront Fusion Developer Expert (AD0 E907) or Fusion Developer Professional
" Must be a hands-on practitioner. Direct, recent configuration experience in Workfront and Fusion is non-negotiable.
" 3+ years in an architect or technical lead role, owning enterprise Workfront/Fusion solutions, standards, and integration strategy.
" 5+ years Workfront experience building complex configurations in large, multi-group or multi-instance ecosystems.
" 24+ years Fusion automation experience, including JSON/API integrations.
" Proven ability to make strategic recommendations based on client systems not just admin execution.
" Mastery of advanced reporting (text mode, calculated fields, KPI modeling).
" Excellent client-facing communication, discovery leadership, and BA documentation skills.
Preferred Qualifications
" Additional Workfront certifications (Administrator, Architect).
" Experience integrating Workfront with Adobe Experience Cloud (AEM, AEP, Marketo, Campaign).
" Familiarity with PMO frameworks (Agile/SAFe) or marketing/creative ops org design.
" Experience with Power BI/Tableau reporting pipelines.
What Success Looks Like
" Contribute meaningfully to the evolution of our Adobe practice by introducing scalable frameworks, repeatable assets, and delivery standards that raise our overall maturity and accelerate client outcomes.
" Faster delivery velocity through high-impact, hands-on execution.
" Scalable workflows adopted across teams with measurable reductions in operational friction.
" Fusion automations that stabilize operations and reduce manual effort.
