Summary:

- Drive architecture, backlog prioritization, and delivery execution
- Ensure delivery of:
- Production-ready workflows
- Real system integrations
- Measurable business outcomes
Data & AI Integration
- Collaborate on establishing data contexts (MDM, governance, contextual data)
- Integrate Data, Data Cloud and/or Informatica into solution architecture
- Define how AI agents interact with enterprise systems via APIs
- Ensure proper use of LLM gateway patterns and token monitoring considerations
Delivery Leadership & Governance
- Act as primary point of accountability for delivery success (architecture + execution)
- Provide lightweight project management oversight (timeline, risks, dependencies)
- Lead workshops, demos, and stakeholder alignment sessions
- Establish governance, DevOps readiness, and expansion roadmap
Client & Partner Engagement
- Partner with Salesforce, MuleSoft, and Data Foundation stakeholders
- Support pre-sales and solutioning on new opportunities
- Translate technical architecture into clear business value narratives

- Strong ownership mindset (end-to-end accountability), with experience leading client-facing delivery engagements
- Ability to operate in fast-paced, outcome-driven delivery models, balancing architecture with speed
- Outcome-oriented (not feature-oriented) and comfortable with ambiguity and rapid delivery cycles
- Strong communication skills with ability to engage both technical and business stakeholders
Preferred:
- Experience with Salesforce Data Cloud and/or Informatica (MDM, governance)
- Exposure to AI/agent architectures, including:
