Director, Adobe Client Delivery Lead

You will lead Perficient''s Adobe delivery on one of our most demanding enterprise accounts, a global industrial manufacturer that sells through an independent dealer network across more than a hundred countries. The program spans content supply chain, digital marketing, and the agentic capability being built on top of both.

These are not standard AEM problems. Thousands of products across dozens of languages and markets. A brand that has to hold its shape through dealers the client does not own. Customer data split between direct channels and dealer relationships, where identity resolution decides whether personalization is possible at all. The content operation has to produce at a volume that only works when it is engineered rather than staffed. The leader who takes this on will be judged on whether the program produces business outcomes the client can measure, not on whether the platform went live.

This is a delivery role. You are billable, you are accountable for the program, and the account grows because the current work earns the next phase.

Perficient is the global AI and technology consulting firm disrupting the traditional consulting model. Powered by our 7,000+ advisors, engineers, and designers, Perficient implements AI-first solutions that break conventions and deliver outcomes that matter. Proudly serving clients that represent the world's most innovative brands, and in collaboration with our powerful technology partner ecosystem, we bring deep industry expertise and data-driven design to redefine how businesses run and succeed. Perficient is different. For real. Learn more at perficient.com.

• Twelve or more years delivering Adobe implementations at enterprise scale, with accountability for whole program outcomes rather than a single workstream.
