Job description

This full-time, 100% remote position blends strong communication, management, and technical problem solving skills with Salesforce expertise.

Overview

• Reports to Sr. Solution Architect & Delivery Manager
• Start Date As soon as possible
• Hours & Pay Full-time salaried exempt

This role delivers end-to-end solutions from marketing to finance, equally comfortable with hands-on declarative configuration and advanced Flow automation as with custom development in Apex and LWC across primarily Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, and Field Service. The Solution Architect oversees development work and manages 2 developers on the team, serving as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) to triage incoming development requests to the appropriate team members. Client projects could include Experience Cloud, Data 360, Agentforce, Revenue Cloud, Manufacturing Cloud, NPSP, Conga / Doc Gen, or ETL integrations.

Weekly responsibilities include leading client check-ins, internal working sessions, project task management, delegating and reviewing work, solution architecture, and system configuration. Client projects are hands-on with small 2-3 person, committed teams providing lasting value to our clients who engage us for multiple years. This role is exclusively focused on delivery and does not involve sales proposals or contract negotiation.

If you are passionate about delivering scalable solutions that help businesses grow, we invite you to apply.

• System Architecture & Documentation (~30%) Ensure optimal system functionality through balanced design considerations, including performance, security, and data management. Responsible for core design decisions, overseeing all development work, and overseeing SQL Server and Python-based data migrations. Diagram out business processes and define data models with entity relationship diagrams. Record solutions in the business strategy & process guide. Solve integration challenges and manage secure access between systems.
• Strategic Client Consulting (~15%) Guide clients as a key advisor through the exploration and adoption of suitable Salesforce solutions. Run weekly client meetings that show the value of our work and solicit requirements using the meeting notebook template. Lead discovery sessions to map current and desired operational states. Lead the assessment and introduction of new software solutions, ensuring the best fit for client needs and strategic goals.
• Professional Development and Mentorship (~5%) Actively contribute to team development, sharing knowledge, and mentoring colleagues to foster a collaborative and innovative working environment. Conduct 1:1 meetings with direct reports. Participate in Admin Hour Presentations, Trailhead Learning Days, and other educational events and conferences. Understand the roadmap for Headless including the migration from LWC to React and Angular and exposing Salesforce data across a variety of surfaces.
