GoFundMe Pro is looking for a Senior Solutions Architect to join our post-sales Technical Solutions Team adjacent to Professional Services. In this hands-on role, you will be responsible for scoping, designing, and validating scalable solutions for nonprofit customers’ implementation of our software. This role is execution-focused, working directly with our nonprofit customers to implement technical solutions and accelerate adoption.

As a Senior Solutions Architect, you will play a key role in bridging pre-sales and post-sales, ensuring a smooth transition from technical discovery and solution design during the sales cycle to implementation and execution.

• Provide guidance on customer’s implementation of Classy’s Salesforce integration, ensuring plans adhere to Salesforce best practices for configuration, functionality, and performance optimization.
• Design and lead discussions around Classy’s Salesforce integration architecture, focusing on technical and functional alignment with customer goals.

3. Customer Engagement & Implementation Oversight

• Serve as the primary technical resource during implementation, ensuring solutions are built according to specifications and best practices.
• Act as a trusted advisor to customer technical teams, project managers, and implementation specialists
• Proactively identify and mitigate risks related to solution adoption and campaign launch.
• Guide implementation teams in solving complex integration challenges and optimizing technical execution.

4. Continuous Improvement & Best Practices

• Develop, implement, and document Salesforce-specific integration frameworks and reusable assets to streamline campaign launch.
• Provide technical feedback from real-world implementations to refine internal best practices and improve future solution designs.
• Maintain expertise in Salesforce, enterprise SaaS ecosystems, and API-based integration frameworks.
• Stay informed on emerging best practices, customer needs, and technology trends to continuously evolve solution approaches.

You…

• 5+ years of relevant consulting or professional services experience designing technical solutions
• 4+ years as a certified salesforce administrator architecting, designing and implementing the integration architectures and applications on large-scale technical projects
• 4+ years of experience with Salesforce implementation and configuration, including NPSP, Nonprofit Cloud, managed packages, duplicate management best practices, flows, and security controls
• Experience in detailing customer requirements, business processes and systems design and making recommendations for future state improvements
