• Build calculated insights and segments to power activation

• Data ingestion patterns (batch, streaming, API)

• Working knowledge of Sales Cloud and Service Cloud data structures

Preferred Certifications

• Salesforce Certified Data Cloud Consultant
• Salesforce Certified Marketing Cloud Consultant
• Salesforce Certified Data Architect

NICE TO HAVE

• Prior delivery experience in Financial Services, Healthcare, or Public Sector
• Familiarity with PIPEDA, CASL, and consent management
