Who You Are:

You are a cross-Financial Services skilled Functional Solution Architect within Accenture’s Financial Services Salesforce Business Group practice, operating at the layer between architecture and execution. You translate what senior architects design into what delivery teams build — owning solution design documents, leading technical workstreams, and making sure the architecture holds through the full program lifecycle.

You are fluent in Salesforce Data 360, Agentforce, and FS CRM platforms. You thrive in complexity: multi-workstream programs, distributed teams, and client environments where the data is messy, the timelines are tight, and the architecture decisions matter. You bring clarity to ambiguous technical problems and lead junior team members without waiting to be asked.

The Work:

• •Solution design ownership — lead end-to-end solution design across assigned workstreams, including data model, integration patterns, security model, and platform configuration; keep SDDs, architecture decision records, and data flow diagrams current throughout delivery
• •Agentforce & AI delivery — own technical design and build for Agentforce use cases across active Banking, Capital Markets, & Insurance programs
• •Integration delivery — design and implement integrations between Data Cloud, CRM, external data sources, and Agentforce capabilities; make architecture tradeoffs across middleware options (MuleSoft, REST/SOAP, Salesforce Connect)
• •Bridge function — serve as the connective layer between functional requirements and technical delivery; align architects, developers, and client stakeholders on design decisions and scope boundaries
• •Technical leadership — lead design sessions, code reviews, and deployment governance; manage solution risks, design gaps, and cross-workstream dependencies; escalate proactively
• •Team development — guide and mentor junior architects and set technical standards across the team
• •Pre-sale contribution — support estimation, scoping, and staffing conversations during pursuit phases; contribute to architecture sections of RFP responses and orals
• •Practice contribution — build accelerators, methodology assets, and FS-specific AI use case patterns that scale across the practice

What You Need:

• •Minimum of 8 years of progressive Salesforce delivery experience, with demonstrated tenure in solution architecture or senior platform leadership roles.
• •Minimum of 5 years of experience architecting and delivering multiple large-scale, complex Salesforce programs in the Financial Services industry.
• •Minimum of 3 years of experience with Salesforce Financial Services Cloud (FSC) or equivalent Financial Services CRM platforms and expertise in how these clouds are applied across varying use cases.
• •Minimum of 3 years of experience leading delivery using Agile, hybrid, or scaled Agile frameworks at program scale (e.g., SAFe, multi-team Scrum) and shaping methodology decisions for the engagement.
• •Minimum of 1 year of experience leveraging AI/ML capabilities (e.g., Salesforce Einstein, Agentforce, generative AI tools), including ability to advise clients on AI strategy and adoption.
• •Minimum of 3 years of experience supporting Financial Services clients at a senior delivery or advisory level.
• •A Bachelor’s degree or equivalent (minimum 12 years) work experience. (If Associate’s Degree, must have minimum 6 years’ work experience).

Bonus Points:

• •Salesforce Certified Application Architect, System Architect, or CTA (Certified Technical Architect) designation.
• •Experience operating as a functional and technical hybrid — with enough depth on both sides to design end-to-end solutions without siloing into one lane.
• •Deep integration architecture experience including MuleSoft, event-driven architectures, or enterprise API strategy in complex Life Sciences environments.
• •Pre-sales leadership experience including owning architecture narrative for competitive RFP responses and executive-level solution presentations.
• •Relationship management experience at the Director and VP level with Financial Services clients, with a track record of building trust and repeat engagement.
• •Experience building and leading high-performing, geographically distributed delivery teams at Senior Manager level or above.
