Job summary

Cardinal Health is seeking a Technical Lead (Salesforce) to drive technical execution and engineering enablement for ConnectSource and Marketing Cloud, bridging engineering with business and delivery stakeholders. You will own standards, reviews, risk mitigation, and SDLC rigor to deliver reliable Salesforce solutions at scale.

The role emphasizes leadership, architecture awareness, and cross‑functional collaboration with Solution Owners, Product, and external partners.

Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field or equivalent experience preferred.
8 years of hands‑on application development experience (custom and/or enterprise platforms) preferred.
Strong Salesforce technical experience (configuration, integration, SDLC delivery).
Demonstrated ability to lead complex technical initiatives and resolve production issues effectively.
Experience with Salesforce Marketing Cloud and enterprise CRM integrations preferred.
Experience with build/run operational practices, security controls, and regulated environments preferred.
Experience producing reusable Salesforce patterns, standards, and technical roadmaps preferred.

Responsibilities

Own technical execution quality for Salesforce solution areas, including implementation approach and delivery of technical/config components to agreed standards.
Lead design and code/configuration reviews (Apex, integrations, Flows, security model, data model) to ensure standards and best practices are met.
Identify Salesforce platform risks early and propose options, tradeoffs, and mitigation plans in partnership with delivery leadership.
Provide Salesforce architecture awareness (data model, permissioning, integration patterns, environment strategy) to ensure components fit end‑to‑end.
Define and reinforce Salesforce standards/patterns to promote consistency and reuse.
Create supporting technical documentation (design decisions, integration contracts, deployment notes) to guide critical decisions and continuity.
Ensure Salesforce work is planned and executed with SDLC rigor (requirements → design → build/config → test → release).
Define tasks, milestones, and technical deliverables; independently determine technical methods (configuration vs custom code vs integration approach).
Partner with run/support teams to improve Salesforce stability through monitoring/telemetry, defect trend analysis, and root‑cause analysis.
Drive technical debt remediation (org health, automation cleanup, integration hardening) to reduce incidents and rework.
Provide technical guidance to managed service/external partners as applicable.
Translate technical concepts into clear language for non‑technical stakeholders.
Partner with Solution Owners and Product on selecting appropriate Salesforce components aligned to standards while meeting requirements.
Partner with shared service teams (Risk/Security) to ensure controls are implemented properly.
Serve as escalation point for complex Salesforce technical issues, leading resolution paths that minimize business impact.
Mentor engineers/admins and raise Salesforce technical maturity through standards and review practices.
Coach less experienced colleagues and lead complex technical initiatives with significant scope and long‑term impact.
