• Ability to act as the senior technical authority in front of client security, platform, and leadership teams.
• Experience with Financial Services Cloud or complex multi-org Salesforce environments is strongly preferred.
• Ability to work fully remote.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Prior experience conducting security reviews of Financial Services Cloud orgs.
