Why we are looking for support

You are the Architect our Consumer Goods clients trust with their end-to-end Salesforce landscape: from Sales, Service, Marketing to Consumer Goods Cloud and the integration layer between them. You shape the target architecture, make the design calls on complex multi-cloud programmes, and stay hands-on enough to be credible with developers and executives alike. You work closely with our delivery teams, and you help set the architecture standards lead, the architecture, design, and technical delivery of our clients.

You own the end-to-end target architecture across Salesforce Sales, Service, Marketing, B2B Commerce and Consumer Goods Cloud, make and document the key design decisions

You design the integration architecture between Salesforce, ERP, DMS, POS/retail data, trade promotion and finance systems

You serve as the ultimate technical design authority, from discovery to go-live

You act as a trusted advisor to C-suite executives (CIOs, CTOs, CMOs) and contribute to proposals, estimates and technical due diligence in pre-sales.
