The Salesforce Technical Architect role at Perficient plays a crucial part in our Salesforce strategy. It requires not only a high degree of skill in our technological solutions, but also requires a high degree of consulting, relationship building and management, and an ability to see the grand vision that our solutions can bring to a client. A technical architect utilizes a consultative approach to explain solutions that they have designed with an engineering mindset. They must be able to speak to a wide range of audiences from highly technical to strictly business focused. The technical architect will work in parallel with the client consultant on an account. The client consultant will represent the business process and vision, while the technical architect delivers the technical solutions and roadmap to fulfill the business needs and visions.

As such, it is your responsibility to maintain and grow the relationships within the account to ensure a strong long-term partnership with the client’s technology teams and leadership.
