Job description

ICF's Digital Modernization Division is seeking an experienced, growth-oriented Senior Salesforce Practice Architect to support enterprise digital transformation initiatives for public sector and federal clients. This is a high-visibility leadership role focused on driving scalable, platform-based Salesforce solutions that align to mission outcomes and long-term modernization goals.

The ideal candidate brings deep experience in designing and delivering complex Salesforce ecosystems and serves as a trusted advisor to both internal leaders and clients. This role combines hands‑on solutioning with strategic engagement-supporting early‑stage client conversations, shaping technical approaches, and leading solution design for high‑priority opportunities.

A strong emphasis is placed on capture and proposal support, where the architect will own technical solutioning for key bids, guide business development teams, and help expand ICF's Salesforce practice through innovative, compliant, and competitive solutions.

Why Senior Architects Join ICF

• Opportunity to shape highly visible public sector transformation programs
• Ability to influence both pursuits and delivery outcomes - not just one or the other
• Access to complex enterprise architecture challenges across federal and state agencies
• Strong partnership ecosystem across Salesforce and adjacent platforms
• Entrepreneurial environment where architects help shape offerings, innovation, and strategy
• Collaborative culture that values technical leadership, mentorship, and mission impact

Work Environment & Travel

100% remote work anywhere outside of a 50-mile radius of Washington, DC is acceptable (preferred alignment with Eastern Time). However, prefer candidates in the Metro DMV area so they can be onsite ICF HQ or client site for meetings, when needed.

Up to 10% travel may be required, including occasional meetings in the Metro DMV area
