Principal Salesforce Consultant

About the role

We are seeking a Principal Salesforce Consultant to lead the design and delivery of scalable, high-impact Salesforce solutions. This role is ideal for a technically strong professional who has evolved from hands-on development into architecture, solution design, or technical leadership. While prior consulting experience is valuable, it is not required—what matters most is the ability to translate business needs into well-architected Salesforce solutions and guide teams through execution.

Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end Salesforce solution design across Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, and platform capabilities
• Partner with business stakeholders to define requirements and translate them into scalable technical solutions
• Serve as a trusted advisor, providing strategic guidance on Salesforce architecture, best practices, and roadmap planning
• Oversee implementation quality, ensuring adherence to coding standards, governance, and platform best practices
• Mentor developers, admins, and junior consultants; provide technical leadership across projects
• Drive architectural decisions, including integration patterns, data modeling, and system scalability
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including product, engineering, and business operations
• Support pre-sales or discovery efforts as needed, helping shape solution direction and estimates

Requirements

• 8+ years of experience with Salesforce, including hands-on technical experience (e.g., Apex, Lightning, integrations)
• Proven progression from developer or technical role into architecture, solution design, or technical leadership
• Strong understanding of Salesforce platform capabilities, limits, and best practices
• Experience designing complex solutions involving integrations, data migration, and automation
• Ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Experience leading teams or guiding technical delivery across multiple projects

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior consulting or client-facing experience
• Salesforce certifications (e.g., Platform Developer, Application/System Architect, CTA preferred but not required)
• Experience with enterprise integration tools (e.g., MuleSoft) and modern integration patterns (REST, event-driven)
• Familiarity with Agile delivery methodologies
