At Astound Digital, we are pioneers in the digital landscape, dedicated to transforming how the world interacts with technology, data, and creativity. Our role as trusted advisors in the digital landscape empowers the world’s most innovative brands with frictionless, end-to-end customer experiences. We are known for our comprehensive solutions, proven expertise, and collaborative, nimble approach that instills confidence in our clients. We embrace the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to drive innovation, efficiency, and better outcomes for our clients and employees. Join us to navigate and lead in the ever-changing digital world, where your impact will extend beyond the ordinary.

Job Purpose

As a Solution Architect, you will lead the overall design and execution of high-priority digital marketing transformations for global enterprises. You will partner directly with client technical leadership, bridging the gap between legacy marketing automation platforms and a modern, scalable stack featuring Salesforce Marketing Cloud Next and Data Cloud. Your leadership will ensure project success through foundational MVP delivery, robust architectural governance across continuous delivery phases, and a deep focus on deploying advanced AI-driven journey orchestration and zero-copy data architecture. 

Key Responsibilities

• Serve as a trusted strategic advisor and persuasive advocate to client stakeholders, confidently articulating complex technical architectures, guiding critical alignment sessions, and translating sophisticated martech concepts into clear, impact-driven narratives for senior management. 


• Develop and iteratively refine foundational Technical Design Documents (TDDs) encompassing Data & Identity Architecture, Integration & Eventing Strategy, MAP Operating Models, Consent & Privacy Frameworks, and Segmentation Strategy. You will ensure these documents provide a decision-ready foundation for agile sprints, understanding that downstream feature acceptance constitutes acceptance of your architectural choices.


• Design the target interaction model between Salesforce (Marketing Cloud Next, Data Cloud) and external digital experience ecosystems (such as Adobe Experience Cloud, including AEM, RT-CDP, and Target). You will define cross-platform identity alignment, system-of-record hierarchies, and data flow orchestration patterns across the entire martech stack.


• Architect native, high-performance integrations between enterprise data lakes (e.g., Snowflake) and the Customer Data Platform (CDP). You will design zero-copy data sharing models, configure data access to web profiles and engagement history, and align data lake schemas with standard Data Cloud Data Model Objects (DMOs).


• Design a unified profile schema capable of supporting millions of active contacts. You will implement deterministic identity resolution to unify customer profiles across disconnected enterprise platforms.


• Operate within a Scaled Agile delivery model by participating in critical Pre-PI (Program Increment) and PI Planning ceremonies. You will work alongside Product Owners and IT Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to translate high-level strategy into committed features, initialize the architectural runway, and actively resolve cross-team dependencies

Qualifications

• 10+ years of consulting experience with exceptional client-facing presence and communication prowess, characterized by a polished, consultative demeanor


• Proven track record of influencing decision-making, navigating objections, and building deep trust with senior engineering and marketing management.

• Architectural expertise in Salesforce Marketing Cloud / Marketing Cloud Next and Salesforce Data Cloud.


• Strong familiarity with hybrid enterprise native terrains (e.g., Salesforce combined with Adobe Experience Cloud, Snowflake, Data Cloud), including handling identity resolution, asset reuse, and personalization syncs across multiple clouds.


• Proven experience designing Zero-Copy or federated data architectures between a data lake and a CDP.


• Experience leveraging AI/LLM agents for process automation and large-scale asset/data migrations.


• Ability to operate in a highly integrated, fast-paced Scaled Agile environment where timely decision-making and cross-organizational dependency management are critical to meeting strict delivery milestones
