Platform strategy and roadmap

• Own and maintain the Salesforce platform roadmap.
• Translate business strategy into sequenced platform initiatives, releases, and measurable outcomes.
• Balance capacity across business transformation, business-as-usual support, platform reliability, and technical-debt remediation.
• Incorporate relevant recommendations from platform assessments and external advisors.
• Present priority, capacity, dependency, and risk trade-offs to leadership.
• Ensure that urgent requests do not continuously displace strategically necessary work.

Intake, triage, and backlog management

• Own how Salesforce work enters, moves through, and leaves the team.
• Personally participate in request triage, requirements clarification, scope definition, and effort assessment.
• Distinguish incidents, minor enhancements, major projects, maintenance, and architectural remediation.
• Establish practical prioritization criteria based on business value, urgency, effort, risk, and dependencies.
• Maintain an actionable backlog with clear ownership, acceptance criteria, target releases, and status.
• Push back constructively when requests are incomplete, duplicative, unscalable, or lower priority.
• Prevent informal messages and executive requests from bypassing the agreed operating process.

Hands-on platform delivery

• Work directly with administrators, developers, and business stakeholders to move priority work forward.
• Assist with Salesforce configuration, Flow, troubleshooting, data analysis, security, permissions, and operational support as needed.
• Evaluate technical designs and identify downstream effects across automation, data, integrations, CPQ, and user experience.
• Review Apex and integration solutions sufficiently to assess maintainability, testing, security, and operational risk.
• Step into release preparation, deployment coordination, defect resolution, and production validation.
• Contribute directly when the team needs help rather than limiting the role to status reporting and delegation.

QA, UAT, releases, and deployments

• Establish a predictable release calendar and release-readiness process.
• Define acceptance criteria before development begins.
• Coordinate functional, technical, integration, regression, and business-user testing.
• Ensure that developers are not solely responsible for validating their own work.
• Manage UAT planning, stakeholder participation, defect resolution, and business signoff.
• Lead go/no-go decisions, deployment planning, rollback preparation, and post-release validation.
• Improve sandbox, environment, source-control, and deployment practices.
• Create visibility into work waiting for testing, approval, deployment, or remediation.

Architecture and technical governance

• Establish practical standards for when to use standard configuration, Flow, Apex, managed packages, middleware, or external services.
• Partner with technical team members to remediate legacy automation and reduce platform technical debt.
• Review integrations for scalability, supportability, security, data ownership, and business value.
• Participate in technology evaluations before new systems are selected or procured.
• Guide build-versus-buy decisions and evaluate the downstream effect of new platforms on Salesforce.
• Maintain appropriate internal ownership when external consultants or implementation partners are engaged.

CPQ and commercial transformation

• Support changes to products, pricing, approvals, quoting, contracting, renewals, and related sales workflows.
• Help govern the evaluation and potential implementation of a future CPQ or Revenue Cloud solution.
• Coordinate business requirements, architecture decisions, partner selection, testing, migration, and adoption.
• Ensure that CPQ transformation aligns with NetBrain’s broader SaaS commercial model and Salesforce roadmap.

Documentation and knowledge management

• Establish a shared, searchable, and maintainable source of truth for the Salesforce platform.
• Require current documentation for architecture, integrations, automation, releases, operating procedures, and key business logic.
• Create standards for technical design decisions, ownership, backup ownership, and knowledge transfer.
• Reduce dependency on information held by a single employee.
• Ensure documentation is incorporated into delivery rather than treated as optional follow-up work.

Team and stakeholder leadership

• Lead the day-to-day Salesforce operating model across functional and technical contributors.
• Clarify decision rights, responsibilities, handoffs, and escalation paths.
• Create productive partnership among Salesforce, Sales Operations, Customer Success, Support, Finance, Partners, IT, and leadership.
• Protect the team from uncontrolled demand while maintaining a responsive service orientation.
• Coach team members and create clear accountability without introducing unnecessary bureaucracy.
• Communicate platform performance, delivery progress, constraints, and risk to Chief Customer Officer and other leaders.

What You Bring

• Substantial experience leading and working hands-on within mature Salesforce environments.
• Demonstrated ownership of a Salesforce roadmap, backlog, release process, or platform operating model.
• Strong practical knowledge of Sales Cloud and Salesforce platform administration.
• Experience gathering requirements and translating business needs into scalable Salesforce solutions.
• Experience with intake, prioritization, QA, UAT, release management, and deployments.
• Ability to work across configuration, Flow, data, security, integrations, and technical design.

• Experience supporting complex integrations and cross-functional business processes.
• Demonstrated ability to challenge requests, resolve competing priorities, and communicate trade-offs to senior leaders.
• Strong documentation, process-design, and stakeholder-management skills.
• Willingness to remain hands-on while leading the team and platform.

• Stationary Tasks: Sitting for extended periods, remaining in a stationary position.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Salesforce CPQ, Revenue Cloud, or another complex quote-to-cash transformation.
• Experience supporting a SaaS or enterprise software company.
