Job Title: Salesforce Lead
Technical Architect
Location: Remote
Duration: Contract 6+ Months
Must be working with Law Firms
Job Description:
The Salesforce Lead Technical Architect serves as the
highest-level technical authority across client engagements, responsible for
designing scalable, secure, and high-performing Salesforce solutions while
leading complex enterprise implementations and integrations.
This role requires a unique combination of strategic
architectural vision and hands-on technical expertise. The ideal candidate will
drive solution architecture across multi-cloud Salesforce environments, advise
executive stakeholders, mentor technical teams, and establish best practices
and governance standards. In addition to architectural leadership, this
individual will actively participate in solution development, provide technical
oversight, and collaborate closely with both clients and delivery teams.
This is not a purely advisory or oversight position. The
successful candidate will engage directly with business and technology
stakeholders to gather requirements, translate business objectives into
technical solutions, and guide projects from concept through deployment. We are
looking for a "builder's architect"—someone who can lead discovery
sessions, whiteboard solutions, review and write code, troubleshoot complex
issues, and confidently present technical strategies to CIOs, CTOs, and
executive leadership.
