• Own and maintain the operational playbook for platform requests, reviews, and development, establishing clear guardrails for all users.
• Align Salesforce platform strategy with broader business goals, ensuring technology investments support required business capabilities.
• Lead the design for global identity, user permissions, and zero-trust security frameworks.
• Oversee the platform''s data strategy, ensuring compliance with regulations such as SOX, PCI, and HIPAA.
• Provide mentorship to other architects, administrators, and developers on best practices for secure coding, automation, and design.

Required Qualifications

• A minimum of 10 years of experience in information technology.
• A minimum of 5 years of experience focused on Salesforce within large, multi-cloud enterprise environments.
• Demonstrated experience with matrixed influence, successfully aligning teams and resolving conflicts without direct reporting lines.
• Experience presenting to or serving on an Enterprise Architecture Board, with proficiency in documenting decisions through methods like Architectural Decision Records (ADRs).
• Broad technical knowledge of integration patterns, including event-driven architecture, middleware, and APIs, as well as an understanding of data encryption and compliance laws.
• Experience with financial service regulatory bodies and compliance standards like SOX.
• Must be able to travel 10-20% for planning sessions and leadership meetings.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with technical debt cleanup, consolidation of multiple Salesforce instances, and modernization of DevOps pipelines.
• Familiarity with systems such as Core Sales/Service Clouds, Experience Cloud, CPQ, MuleSoft, and back-office ERP systems.
• Salesforce Application Architect or System Architect certifications.
• A Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related business field.
