You will work across Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, and Experience Cloud, leading architecture, mentoring team members, and delivering scalable, secure, and user-friendly solutions.  

Key Responsibilities

• Lead architectural design sessions, translating business needs into declarative and programmatic solutions that prioritize performance, scalability, and maintainability.  

• Champion the use of Flows over legacy automation tools, focusing on Flow performance optimization, best practices, and migration from Workflow Rules/Process Builder.  

• Manage and optimize Salesforce org configuration, including roles, profiles, permission sets, sharing rules, and permission set groups to ensure scalable, secure access.  

• Configure Lightning Record Pages, Home Pages, and App Pages using Lightning App Builder, applying Dynamic Forms, Actions, and Visibility Rules to tailor user experiences.

• Implement and manage Sales Engagement tools, including Sales Cadences, Work Queues, and email/engagement tracking, using declarative customization where applicable.  

• Drive Copado-based DevOps practices for both declarative and programmatic asset deployments, ensuring governance and quality in release management.  

• Select and configure AppExchange solutions, integrating them into the broader architecture while evaluating their impact on org health and user experience.  

• Oversee data management and data quality, utilizing tools like Data Loader, Import Wizard, Duplicate Management, Validation Rules, and Scheduled Flows to ensure accuracy and compliance.  

• Implement and advise on platform security using Salesforce Shield (Event Monitoring, Field Audit Trail, Platform Encryption) and native security features.  

• Integrate Salesforce with external systems using REST/SOAP APIs and middleware (e.g., MuleSoft), balancing custom and low-code integration patterns (e.g., External Services, Named Credentials).  

• Stay informed on Salesforce releases, ecosystem developments, and Trailhead advancements, proactively recommending and implementing platform enhancements.  

• Mentor junior admins and developers, promoting declarative-first thinking and adherence to best practices across the team.  

Required Qualifications
