You Are:

A Salesforce Life Sciences Functional Architect at the Senior Manager level within Accentures 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:

• 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 Accentures 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.
