Role Summary Salesforce Solution Architect is responsible for defining, governing, and validating end-to-end Salesforce architecture across Sales, Service, CLM, and integrated business processes. Acting as the client's architectural authority, this role partners closely with system integrators, product owners, technical leads, data teams, and business stakeholders to ensure scalable, secure, and future-proof design aligns with the project roadmap and Salesforce best practices. Key Responsibilities 1. Architecture Ownership & Standards

• Design and validate a scalable, efficient, and sustainable Salesforce architecture for multi-cloud implementations.
• Evaluate proposed solutions for maintainability, extensibility, and long-term viability.
• Align all architectural decisions with the Salesforce product roadmap, enterprise architecture principles, and internal standards.
• Define configuration standards, design patterns, and guardrails for functional and technical teams.

2. Cross-Functional Solution Design

• Review and approve functional designs across workstreams (Sales, Service, CLM, Integration, Data, RFP, etc.).
• Translate business strategies and requirements into holistic Salesforce solutions that balance user experience, performance, and compliance.
• Ensure alignment between technical teams, functional SMEs, and business owners to deliver solutions on schedule.

3. Integration & Data Architecture Collaboration

• Partner with the Integration Lead to design robust integration architecture with SAP, Agiloft, Workday, and other enterprise platforms.
• Validate data flows, API usage, middleware strategy, and integration patterns.
• Support data strategy activities, including data migration, mapping, and cleansing (in collaboration with Data Lead and SI).

4. Governance, Quality, & Technical Leadership

• Provide architectural oversight throughout discovery, design, build, testing, and cutover phases.
• Review solution designs to ensure adherence to best practices, security frameworks, and change-control processes.
• Support DevOps alignment, including environment strategy, release sequencing, and deployment governance.
• Guide the development and configuration teams toward "stay out-of-the-box" principles when possible.

5. Stakeholder & Vendor Engagement

• Act as the client's architectural counterpart to the System Integrator's solution architect.
• Participate in workshops, design reviews, RFP evaluations, and architecture decision records.
• Communicate architectural risks, tradeoffs, and recommendations to program leadership and executive stakeholders.

Key Technical Requirements

• Approximately 7+ years of architecting solutions on Salesforce.
• Strong understanding of Salesforce data model, metadata architecture, integrations, and platform constraints.
• Experience with multi-cloud architecture and large-scale enterprise environments.
• Required experience with Sales Cloud and Service Cloud.
• CLM (Contract Lifecycle Management) experience is a strong plus.
• Familiarity with integration platforms and middleware; SAP CPI and Axway will be used, but deep hands-on integration expertise is not required.

Certifications

• Salesforce certifications are mandatory.
• At minimum, Sales Cloud and Service Cloud certifications are expected.
• Additional certifications (e.g., Marketing Cloud, development, architecture) are considered a plus.
• Resumes without Salesforce certifications should not be considered.

Education

• College degree strongly preferred but not required

Hands-on vs. architectural focus

• During implementation, the SI will be primarily hands-on ("hands on the keyboard").
• This role is more consultative and architectural during the SI-led phase, focusing on design oversight and client interests.
• After the SI transitions off, the architect is expected to be more hands-on and help build and run the support model.

Integration expectations

• Middleware technologies: SAP CPI and Axway (Axway Fusion).
• No requirement for Mulesoft expertise; familiarity is acceptable but not needed.
• General understanding of integration concepts and platforms is expected; specialist integration teams will execute the work.
