Qualifications

• 10+ years in data architecture, analytics, or the Salesforce ecosystem.
• Deep hands-on expertise in Salesforce Data Cloud — identity resolution, calculated insights, segmentation, and activation.
• Experience with enterprise data architecture — CDM, dimensional modeling, APIs, ETL/ELT pipelines.
• Proven track record in client-facing roles — pre-sales, solution engineering, or consulting.

• Build and optimize Tableau dashboards that turn complex data into clear business decisions.
• Define analytics strategies aligned to client use cases — customer 360, marketing performance, sales intelligence.
• Partner with sales and GTM teams on pre-sales, demos, and RFP responses — you move deals forward, not just answer technical questions.
• Act as a trusted client advisor on data transformation strategy and the Salesforce Data Cloud roadmap you'll serve as the senior technical point of contact for 1–2 strategic accounts
