We are expanding the Accenture Song CRM practice in Ireland and are seeking a CRM Business Architect with a strong technology consulting background to help clients translate growth, customer and operational priorities into practical CRM capabilities, target architectures and transformation roadmaps.

This mid-senior role combines business architecture, CRM strategy, marketing technology, enterprise AI and solution architecture.

- Shape end-to-end CRM and martech architectures connecting customer experience, data, identity, content, decisioning, channels, workflow and integration.

- Design interoperable solutions across major ecosystems, including Adobe Experience Cloud, Salesforce and Microsoft Dynamics 365. Adobe Workfront, AEP, AEM and AJO experience is particularly relevant.

- Assess technology estates, define architecture principles and integration patterns, and recommend secure, scalable and operable platform solutions.

- Bridge strategy and implementation through architecture governance, design assurance and collaboration across product, design, data, engineering and delivery teams.

- Strengthen the Song CRM practice through reusable methods, reference architecture and thought leadership.

We’re looking for an experienced technology consultant who can connect business outcomes, customer strategy and enterprise architecture. You will bring structure to ambiguity, move confidently between executive and technical conversations, and lead multidisciplinary teams from discovery through solution shaping and delivery.

- 4+ years’ experience across technology consulting, business or solution architecture, CRM, martech or enterprise transformation.

- Strong business architecture capability, including current- and future-state assessment, capability and value-stream modelling, operating models, roadmaps and transition planning.

- Practical solution architecture experience across customer platforms, data, cloud, APIs, integration and non-functional requirements in complex enterprise environments.

- Depth in at least one leading CRM or martech ecosystem. Adobe Experience Cloud experience, particularly Workfront, Adobe Experience Platform, Adobe Experience Manager or Adobe Journey Optimizer, is highly desirable. Equivalent expertise in Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics 365 or another major ecosystem is also valued.

- Strong understanding of enterprise AI and intelligent customer architecture, including unified profiles, grounding and context management, MCP-based integration, agent and workflow orchestration, observability, security and responsible AI controls.

- Ability to translate complex business and technical information into clear architecture options, executive recommendations, commercially sound proposals and feasible delivery plans.

- Confidence influencing senior marketing, customer, data and technology stakeholders and facilitating decisions across competing priorities.
