NOTE - The biggest difference is that we need someone who can help completely reimagine the Salesforce environment and help take it to the next level. Instead of focusing on incremental architecture (based on submitted tickets and sprints), we re looking for someone who can lead the charge on overall environment transformation/refactoring.
We do have a special consultancy firm (Qvest) coming in to assess our Salesforce instance, and they re going to provide a complete readout with recommendations for our environment. This Principal Architect role will partner with Qvest in the assessment, listen and refine the recommendations, and lead the subsequent effort to implement the recommendations (which could include a full burndown/rebuild).
