Salesforce Technical Architect

About the Role... We are looking for a Salesforce Technical Architect. This role will be responsible for providing deep technical expertise in Salesforce and architectural leadership to help our clients to leverage the Salesforce platform and create awesome experiences for their end customers.

The Salesforce Technical Architect has a deep understanding of native Salesforce features and functionality, as well as broad knowledge across multiple development platforms and draws on their skills and experience to assess customer requirements and architecture in order to design secure, high-performance technical solutions that maximize the potential of the Salesforce platform.

This role calls for an individual who can assess, define, implement and -perhaps most crucially- communicate Salesforce architectures to both technical and non-technical audiences. Your ability to communicate solutions to complex problems to varied audiences will be critical.

A key indicator of your success will be your ability to put the customer first, and tailor a solution that meets their needs. You know the difference between the right answer and the best answer. It is essential that you ensure our technology standards are followed, and that you provide guidance to evolve those same standards when it is called for.
