  • Solution Design: Collaborate with team members and business stakeholders to understand the company’s vision and requirements, translating them into technical specifications.
  • Stakeholder Engagement: Participate in business solution design sessions to identify pain points and business objectives.
  • Data Analysis: Manipulate, analyze, and interpret complex data sets related to the client’s business needs.
  • Technical Leadership: Act as the technical point of contact for client stakeholders, ensuring clear communication and a deep understanding of systems and requirements.
  • Demonstrations: Assist teams in preparing and delivering technical demonstrations, showcasing the value and functionality of proposed solutions.
  • Development Collaboration: Work closely with the project team during the development lifecycle to verify requirements, data mapping, solution design, and defect analysis.
  • Continuous Improvement: Stay updated on Salesforce releases, features, and best practices, making implementation and change management recommendations.

 
Experience:

  • Salesforce Expertise: 10+ years of experience as a Salesforce Solution Architect, particularly with the Energy & Utilities Cloud.
  • Requirement Gathering: Proven ability to gather requirements and transform data to meet business specifications.
  • Problem-Solving: Experience troubleshooting and investigating production issues with effective resolution recommendations.
  • Prototyping: Proficiency in listening to business requirements, documenting, and prototyping solutions.
  • Development Methodologies: Experience with structured and Agile methodologies for application development, design, and maintenance.
  • Analytical Skills: Strong analytical abilities to meet tight deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
  • Communication: Ability to effectively communicate technical issues in non-technical terms to stakeholders.
  • Salesforce Products: Deep understanding of Salesforce products and industry best practices related to design, development, testing, business processes, workflow, reporting, and system sustainment.
  • Certifications: Salesforce.com Certifications (Admin, Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, and/or Developer).
  • Education: Post-secondary education in Computer Science, Business Administration, or equivalent training/experience.
