You Are:
A Salesforce Life Sciences Solution Architect at the Manager level within Accenture’s Salesforce Business Group. You sit at the intersection of functional and technical — fluent enough in configuration and business process to hold your own with a functional lead, and deep enough in platform architecture to earn the trust of a tech lead.You translate business requirements into scalable Salesforce solutions, own design decisions across workstreams, and ensure what gets built is what was envisioned. You’re energized by complexity, comfortable with ambiguity, and know how to bring a room to a decision.
The Work:
- Lead end-to-end solution design for Salesforce Life Sciences implementations, defining architecture across functional and technical dimensions including data model, integration patterns, security model, and platform configuration.
- Serve as the connective layer between functional requirements and technical delivery — translating business process design into implementable Salesforce solutions and ensuring alignment across workstreams.
- Own solution documentation including solution design documents (SDDs), architecture decision records, and data flow diagrams; ensure these remain current and are understood by the full delivery team.
- Facilitate design sessions, requirement workshops, and solution walkthroughs with client stakeholders and internal delivery teams.
- Identify and manage solution risks, design gaps, and cross-workstream dependencies; escalate issues proactively and drive to resolution.
- Guide and review configuration and development work to ensure adherence to Salesforce best practices, platform governance, and client-specific standards.
- Support estimation, scoping, and staffing conversations during pursuit and early delivery phases.
- Contribute to practice development including accelerators, methodology, and point-of-view content for the Life Sciences vertical.
- Travel may be required for this role. The amount of travel will vary from 0-100% depending on business requirements.
