Full Job Posting

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree from an accredited college/university; Master’s degree or relevant certifications (Adobe Certified Expert/Master, Salesforce certifications, TOGAF, AWS/GCP) strongly preferred
  • 15+ years of hands-on enterprise architecture and solution delivery experience, with a significant portion spent in large-scale SI or digital product engineering environments (e.g., Accenture, Deloitte Digital, Thoughtworks, or equivalent product-minded organizations)
  • Broad multi-platform fluency: Working delivery experience with adjacent enterprise platforms including Salesforce (Marketing Cloud, Data Cloud, Service Cloud), middleware/integration platforms (MuleSoft, Informatica, or equivalent), cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP), and data platforms (Snowflake or similar). The differentiator is the ability to compose these into a unified architecture rather than operate them in isolation.
  • AI literacy and integration aptitude: While not required to be an AI/ML specialist, must demonstrate a working understanding of how agentic AI, LLM-powered services, and intelligent automation integrate into enterprise architectures. Comfort collaborating with AI-focused engineering leads and defining architectural seams between traditional platform services and AI capabilities.
  • Proven track record of delivering large, complex, multi-year, global SI or product engineering engagements ($10M+ scope) from architecture through go-live, including governance of multi-team, multi-vendor delivery models
  • Demonstrated experience designing and governing enterprise integration architectures - APIs, event-driven patterns, ETL/ELT pipelines, and middleware orchestration
  • Ability to operate at the C-suite level with poise and credibility, translating technical architecture into business outcomes and building long-term trusted advisor relationships
  • Strong delivery methodology experience - fluent in Agile at scale (SAFe, Scrum of Scrums), waterfall-hybrid models, and the practical realities of governing large programs
  • Product engineering mindset: Ability to think beyond governance and into roadmap ownership, backlog strategy, and framing technical debt as a product decision rather than solely a risk register item
  • Hands-on leadership style - this role requires someone who can whiteboard an architecture and present to a CTO in the same week
  • Excellent organizational, communication, and presentation skills with exceptional attention to detail
  • Experience working within or alongside digital agency, CXM, or product engineering environments is a strong plus
  • At dentsu, we believe great work happens when we’re connected. Our way of working combines flexibility with in-person collaboration to spark ideas and strengthen our teams. Employees who live within a commutable distance of one of our hub offices, currently located in Chicago, metro Detroit, Los Angeles, and New York City, are required and expected to work from the office three days per week (two days per week for employees based in Los Angeles). Dentsu may designate other Hub offices at any time. Those who live outside a commutable range may be designated as remote, depending on the role and business needs. Regardless of your work location, we expect our employees to be flexible to meet the needs of our Company and clients, which may include attendance in an office.
  • The annual salary range for this position is $136,000 - $180,000. Placement within the salary range is based on a variety of factors, including relevant experience, knowledge, skills, and other factors permitted by law.
  • Benefits available with this position include:
  • Medical, vision, and dental insurance,
  • Life insurance,
  • Short-term and long-term disability insurance,
  • 401k,
  • Flexible paid time off,
  • At least 15 paid holidays per year,
