You Are:
A Salesforce Life Sciences Functional Architect at the Senior Manager level within Accenture’s Salesforce Business Group. You operate at the strategic and executive layer of delivery — owning the overall solution vision for large, complex programs while guiding and developing the architects and leads beneath you.You are as comfortable presenting architecture trade-offs to a VP or Director as you are diving into a data model with a developer. You have strong opinions, earned through experience, and the judgment to know when to hold them and when to adapt.
Clients trust you. Your teams learn from you.
The Work:
- Own the overall solution architecture vision for large-scale, multi-workstream Salesforce Life Sciences programs, ensuring coherence across functional design, technical implementation, data strategy, and integration.
- Serve as the senior liaison between business leadership and technical delivery teams — translating strategic intent into architecture direction and, where needed, stepping into a functional or technical lead capacity to break through design impasses, resolve ambiguity, or accelerate alignment across the program.
- Lead architecture governance across the delivery program — setting standards, conducting design reviews, and making binding decisions on platform direction and technical approach.
- Act as the primary solution escalation point for the delivery team; resolve cross-workstream design conflicts and align stakeholders on path forward.
- Serve as a trusted technical advisor to senior client stakeholders at the VP and Director level, translating complex architecture concepts into business impact narratives and facilitating alignment across business and technology leaders.
- Guide and mentor Manager-level Solution Architects, senior functional leads, and tech leads; actively develop the next generation of SA talent within the practice.
- Partner with Accenture’s alliance teams, Salesforce product teams, and third-party vendors to shape the solution approach and leverage the latest platform capabilities.
- Lead solution design contributions during pursuit phases, including architecture sections of RFP responses, solution demonstrations, and client orals.
- Drive practice development through reusable assets, architecture blueprints, and industry-specific point-of-view content for the Life Sciences commercial space.
- Manage solution risk at the program level — identifying systemic architectural risks early and working with delivery leadership to mitigate.
