Enterprise E-Commerce Platform Architecture

- Multi-site and multi-store architecture, integration patterns, and technical governance frameworks
- Adobe Commerce Cloud infrastructure design, headless architecture, and team technical leadership
- We screen for practical depth, not just certifications
- Contract, contract-to-hire, or full-time — your choice

About CRM Force
Boutique means something different when the person who built the company has done the work.
Saad Ahmed spent 20 years as a CRM consultant, solution architect, and implementation lead — building marketing automation and CRM systems for clients from start-ups to publicly traded enterprises. He founded CRM Force to bring practitioner-led vetting to a space dominated by generalist agencies.
Every candidate goes through a two-step internal qualification process — reviewed by two separate evaluators before they reach you. We confirm experience, certifications, technical depth, and fit. You receive a shortlist, not a resume dump.
CRM consultants, architects, developers, and admins. Marketing automation specialists. RevOps leaders, business analysts, and project managers. If it touches the CRM or marketing technology stack, we place it. Contract, contract-to-hire, and direct hire — across all seniority levels.
We Recruit for You
Three reasons companies choose us over a traditional recruiter — and what makes the difference in practice.
Vetted by Someone Who Has Done the Work
Saad Ahmed, founder of CRM Force, spent 20 years as a CRM Consultant and Solution Architect — building HubSpot implementations, designing data models, and running client engagements himself. When he reviews a candidate for your role, he is not reading a job description. He is evaluating whether someone can do work he has done himself. That distinction matters.
No Resume Dumps. A Shortlist You Can Act On.
You receive 3 to 5 pre-vetted candidates, each with our written assessment — why we believe they fit your role, where they are strong, and what to probe in the interview. Our internal process puts every candidate through two separate evaluation stages before they reach you. You only meet people who have cleared the bar.
Three Engagement Models. One Standard.
Contract for short and long-term engagements. Contract-to-hire when you want to try before you commit. Direct placement for permanent roles. Every model includes the same sourcing, multi-stage screening, skills assessment, and reference validation. The delivery vehicle changes — the standard does not.
Our Recruitment Process
Four steps from brief to shortlist — no surprises, no padding, no wasted interviews.
We Learn Your Requirements
A focused role briefing call — not a generic intake form. We ask about portal size, Hub configuration, seniority level, technical depth required, team structure, and what a genuinely great candidate looks like for your specific situation. The brief matters more than most clients expect.
We Search Our Network
We work our pre-built database of CRM and HubSpot professionals alongside targeted outreach to passive candidates who are not actively applying. The majority of the people we present are not on job boards — they are available to the right opportunity, if the right person asks.
You Receive a Shortlist
Typically 3 to 5 pre-vetted candidates, each with our written assessment — not just a resume. We tell you why we believe each person is right for your specific role, where they are strong, and what you should probe in the interview. You decide who moves forward.
We Support You to Offer
We coordinate interviews, facilitate debriefs, provide market-rate compensation benchmarks, and support you through the offer stage. The search does not end when we send the shortlist — it ends when you have the right person in the role.

When You Need an Adobe Commerce Architect
A few things we hear from clients before they reach out.
- Designing multi-site, multi-currency, or multi-brand Commerce deployments from the ground up
- Defining ERP, OMS, PIM, and CRM integration patterns for enterprise Commerce implementations
- Evaluating headless vs traditional Commerce architecture for new storefronts
- Leading technical governance for large development teams building on Commerce
- Reviewing and remediating technical debt in an existing Commerce platform before replatforming
How We Vet Adobe Commerce Architects
Commerce architects must combine deep platform knowledge with broader system design and leadership capability. We assess all three.
Red Flags to Watch For
- Cannot explain the Commerce extension point system and when to use plugins vs preferences vs observers
- No experience designing integrations with ERP or OMS systems — only internal Commerce customisations
- Has "architect" in title but limited evidence of architecture documentation or technical decision-making
- No experience with Adobe Commerce Cloud or cloud infrastructure design
Whatever your sector, we know CRM talent.

Frequently Asked Questions
- When does an Adobe Commerce project need an architect vs a senior developer?
- Projects with multi-site requirements, complex integrations, headless architecture, or teams of 3+ developers benefit from an architect. Single-store projects with straightforward customisation can typically be led by a strong senior developer. We help assess which level of seniority your project scope requires.
- What certifications do Commerce architects hold?
- The Adobe Certified Master — Adobe Commerce Architect certification is the recognised standard. Architects should also hold the Commerce Developer certification as a foundation. We prioritise certified architects but evaluate portfolio depth for candidates who are certified-equivalent.
- Can a Commerce architect work in a consulting capacity for multiple projects?
- Yes. Many Commerce architects work as fractional or consulting resources — providing architecture direction without being embedded full-time. We place architects for project-based, part-time, and interim leadership engagements.
- How do you assess Commerce architecture experience in a candidate?
- We ask candidates to walk through a complex project they designed — specifically focusing on decisions made about integration patterns, extension strategy, and trade-offs between approaches. We look for evidence of documentation, stakeholder communication, and outcomes rather than just technical vocabulary.
