• Cloud Specialization: Design robust solutions across Sales Cloud (opportunity management, territories, forecasting) and Experience Cloud (community portals, partner portals, SSO integration) to enhance user engagement and streamline operations.
• Automation Strategy: Define and implement complex business processes using declarative automation tools (Flow, Process Builder) and Apex where necessary, ensuring optimal performance and maintainability.
• Reporting & Visibility: Architect comprehensive reporting strategies, building complex reports and dynamic dashboards that provide stakeholders with actionable insights into sales performance and CPQ metrics.
• Technical Leadership: Provide technical guidance and mentorship to development teams, conducting code reviews and ensuring architectural governance.

• Full Lifecycle Experience: Proven track record of leading at least 3 end-to-end Salesforce implementations.

Technical & Architectural Skills:

• Platform Depth: Expert knowledge of Salesforce declarative development (Flow, Validation Rules) and programmatic development (Apex, Lightning Web Components) to know when to use which tool.
• Integrations: Strong understanding of integration patterns (REST/SOAP APIs, middleware) and how to securely connect Salesforce with ERP systems.
• Data Modeling: Ability to design scalable data models that support complex CPQ configurations and high-volume sales data.
• DevOps: Familiarity with release management, sandbox strategies, and CI/CD tools (e.g., Copado, Jenkins).
