• Excellent communication (written and oral), presentation skills, interpersonal skills, and management skills. A background in consulting or leading teams is required.
• Relevant Salesforce certifications (e.g., Salesforce Application Architect, Salesforce Certified Platform Developer, Agentforce Specialist).

• Proven track record of successful Salesforce implementations in financial services organisations.
• Minimum of 3 years of experience in a similar role.

• Industry-specific knowledge and experience leveraging leading Salesforce and ecosystem industry solutions.
• Understand and articulate how Agentforce and AI are affecting Financial Services and how you’ve used AI to deliver value.

• Pre-sales solution architecture experience (including solution shaping, and delivery estimation and planning) is highly regarded.
• Active Salesforce community participation and contributions.
• Industry-specific knowledge in Financial Services.

What’s in it for you:

At Accenture in addition to a competitive basic salary, you will also have an extensive benefits package which includes 30 days’ vacation per year, private medical insurance and 3 extra days leave per year for charitable work of your choice.
