We oversee technology strategy, Salesforce on Salesforce, customer and partner enablement, applications engineering, infrastructure, collaboration, enterprise operations, architecture, and program enablement.

You will take the vision from Product Managers and business stakeholders and transform it into a granular, actionable backlog that empowers our engineering teams to build world-class solutions.

• Salesforce system implementations and solution architecture for global companies with complex business processes.
