Build Your Future With Us
The digitization of tax compliance is fundamentally changing global commerce and how businesses need to operate and grow. Governments now have real-time visibility into business data, creating new challenges and new opportunities for organizations around the world. At Sovos, we're transforming tax compliance from a business requirement into a driver of growth through AI-powered technology that delivers the accurate, real-time insights businesses need to make smarter decisions.
We're solving more than today's tax compliance challenges. We're helping reshape global economies by enabling organizations to navigate increasingly complex and rapidly changing regulatory environments with confidence – and helping communities thrive.
AI is accelerating what's possible, enabling tax and technology professionals to more effectively drive critical regulatory decisions. That's where Sovos excels, combining intelligent technology with human expertise to help customers stay ahead of change.
Don't worry if you don't check every box. We're focused on hiring great people, not perfect resumes. It's less about what you've done elsewhere and more about what you're capable of doing here.
The Role

- Design and enforce Salesforce security architecture including org-wide defaults, sharing rules, permission sets, field-level security, and login policies to ensure data governance, regulatory compliance, and least-privilege access across the organization.
- Champion Agile/Scrum delivery practices across the team - lead sprint planning, backlog grooming, and retrospectives to drive continuous improvement, predictable delivery cadence, and transparent stakeholder communication.
- Establish and maintain a mature Salesforce DevOps practice using Salesforce DX, CI/CD pipelines, and tooling such as Prodly, Copado, or Gearset - enforce sandbox governance, environment strategy, and metadata version control to ensure stable, auditable deployments.
- Lead Salesforce and connected-system workstreams for mergers and acquisitions - own due diligence, data migration strategy, org consolidation or coexistence planning, and post-close integration execution.
- Ensure platform compliance with data privacy regulations including GDPR, CCPA, and regional requirements - enforce data residency configurations, audit trail policies, field encryption, and data retention schedules in coordination with Legal and InfoSec.
- Serve as the senior technical voice for the GTM Applications platform - translate complex architecture decisions and platform risk into executive-level recommendations and maintain transparent roadmap visibility for VP and C-suite stakeholders.
- Own platform and team budgets including Salesforce license optimization, vendor contract renewals, tooling rationalization, and headcount planning to ensure cost governance across the GTM application portfolio.
