This role requires deep domain expertise in one or more of the following: Marketing Cloud (Engagement/Intelligence), Data 360 (Data Cloud), Revenue Cloud (CPQ/Billing), or Tableau. Key responsibilities include building trust with customers, coordinating with GDC engineering partners, and ensuring every engagement drives real, measurable value.

Responsibilities

  • End-to-end customer migration engagements — owning technical delivery, project health, and successful go-live outcomes.
  • Partner with Account Teams and Sales leadership to align migration goals with customers' broader business strategy, renewal, and expansion objectives.
  • Build strong relationships with both business and technical stakeholders, translating complex migration challenges into clear, actionable decisions.
  • Develop and execute focused delivery plans that prioritize high-impact milestones and hold pod-level timelines to account.
  • Facilitate enablement and alignment sessions to ensure customer teams are prepared and confident for platform transitions.
  • Drive adoption of AI agents and automation toolkits to accelerate discovery, data mapping, and code conversion — reducing manual effort and compressing delivery timelines.
  • Collaborate closely with GDC partners, delegating repeatable technical tasks while maintaining full accountability for output quality.
  • Stay current on product roadmaps and translate field insights into product improvements.
  • Identify underutilized platform capabilities and incorporate them into migration roadmaps to increase customer throughput and adoption.
  • Serve as a subject matter expert in at least one key domain: Marketing Cloud (Engagement/Intelligence), Data 360 (Data Cloud), Revenue Cloud (CPQ/Billing), or Tableau.
  • Apply AI literacy and prompt engineering skills to guide AI agents in data retrieval, migration health reporting, and task automation.
  • Act as the technical point of contact during major migration incidents — coordinating with Engineering and Product to protect the customer's operations during cutover phases.
  • Maintain awareness of technical trends proactively and provide tailored release recommendations to optimize migrated environments for performance and stability.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of experience in Professional Services, Customer Success, or Technical Consulting, with a strong focus on large-scale platform migrations.
  • Deep, hands-on domain expertise in one or more of the following: Marketing Cloud (Engagement/Intelligence), Data 360 (Data Cloud), Revenue Cloud (CPQ/Billing), or Tableau.
  • Demonstrated ability to drive business value, facilitate technical discussions, and navigate complex stakeholder conversations.
  • Proven experience working with global or offshore delivery models (such as GDC) to accelerate project delivery.
  • Advanced knowledge of Salesforce core (Sales/Service Cloud) or specialized clouds (Marketing, Data, Revenue, or Tableau).
  • Familiarity with AI agents or automation tools applied to data mapping, sentiment analysis, or task automation.
  • Understanding of how target cloud platforms integrate with telephony systems, third-party data sources, and self-service portals.
  • Degree or equivalent relevant experience required.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Certifications in relevant domains (e.g., Marketing Cloud Consultant, CPQ Specialist, Data Cloud Consultant, Tableau Desktop Specialist).
  • Prior experience as an individual contributor leading multi-million dollar transformation engagements.
  • Salesforce AI Associate or Agentblazer certifications.
