About the role
- Lead strategic initiatives from your past experiences: You will drive change through out of the box solutions and consulting our many business partners on their innovative ideas.
- You will work within our team of Product Owners, Engineers, and Architects to help validate POCs, rolling out new solutions when needed.
- Implement Emerging Technologies: You will be responsible for evaluating and integrating cutting-edge Salesforce innovations, including Agentforce (AI Agents) and Data Cloud.
- Drive advanced standardization and utilize advanced automation tools like Flow to ensure the Salesforce ecosystem effectively meets the evolving needs of business partners.
Requirements
- Business Analysis: Strategic Roadmap and Vision; Strong ability to translate long-term company goals into a Salesforce Roadmap that balances new features with technical debt and platform upgrades
- Decision Making and Critical Thinking: Knowledge and application of logical framework (like Value vs. Effort) to prioritize the backlog
- Software Problem Management: Understanding how a lead flows from a website click to a closed-won opportunity. Ability to spot process gaps and design solutions that fix the business problem, rather than just adding a new custom field.
- Software Product Business Knowledge: Thorough understanding what the platform can do natively. Knowing the difference between a Flow, a Validation Rule, and a Custom Object allows you to guide developers and prevent "over-engineering."
- Effective Communications: You must be able to explain complex technical limitations to executives in terms of business risk and ROI, ensuring everyone is aligned on what can realistically be delivered.
