Job description

Join to apply for the Salesforce Architect role at BASE life science

Foreign medical breakthroughs and a growing demand for precise and manageable health solutions have turned the life sciences industry into a key catalyst for improved quality of life worldwide. At BASE life science we thrive on pushing boundaries, seeking excellence, and delivering data‑driven consulting expertise that has a lasting impact on healthcare.

Who is BASE life science?

Founded in 2007, BASE life science is a business and technology consulting firm focused exclusively on the life sciences industry.

About the role

As a Salesforce Architect, you will lead the design and development of Salesforce solutions tailored to the unique needs of our pharmaceutical and healthcare clients. You will collaborate with internal teams and clients to architect features that drive business value, ensure scalability, and enhance customer engagement processes.

Leveraging your expertise, you will estimate and engineer reliable solution implementation projects alongside a Project Manager, Business Analyst, and developers. You will join a hybrid team of internal resources, client teams, and vendors/service providers and act as the reference point for technical aspects of the solution design throughout the implementation project.

  • Ensure compliance with industry standards and best practices, including regulatory and security requirements specific to healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors.
  • Design solutions that integrate life‑science‑specific products and services to enhance data‑driven decision‑making and patient engagement.
  • Work on projects involving Event Management, HCP (Healthcare Professional) engagement processes, and other relevant pharmaceutical use cases.
  • Develop and maintain technical documentation, architecture diagrams, and solution roadmaps.
  • Mentor and guide junior developers and solution architects on the team.
  • Knowledge sharing across the organization.

We offer this position in Spain or the United Kingdom.
