SUMMARY
The Senior Salesforce Architect serves as a senior technical leader within Avetta’s Business Systems organization, responsible for defining scalable, sustainable, and secure solution architectures across the Salesforce platform and its surrounding business application ecosystem.
This role leads architectural design for complex initiatives that span Salesforce and integrated systems, ensuring solutions align with business priorities, data governance standards, platform best practices, and long-term maintainability. The architect translates complex business requirements into clear technical designs covering application behavior, data flows, integrations, automation patterns, security, and operational support.
The ideal candidate combines deep Salesforce expertise with a broad systems mindset and is able to evaluate trade-offs across the full technology landscape, including GTM, support, finance, and enterprise integration touchpoints. This role acts as a trusted advisor to business and technology stakeholders, drives architectural consistency across teams, and helps reduce complexity by establishing reusable patterns, clear standards, and scalable design practices.
If residing within commutable distance (30 miles or closer) to one of our offices, a hybrid schedule would be required (3 days in office, 2 days work from home). Candidates within commutable distance are preferred, but those outside of an office area may be considered on a remote basis.
