The role is the primary architecture relationship owner for Salesforce and is accountable for driving decisions for Salesforce technology adoption, such as Data 360, Agentforce, AgentExchange, and Headless 360.  Responsibilities: Advance program objectives and resolve high-impact technical issues.  Advise on and validate system architecture designs, orchestrate cross-functional technical efforts, shape implementation strategies, and provide recommendations on ambiguous technical questions. In this domain: rule on Salesforce org strategy and connected-org questions, for example, steering decisions on Sales Cloud versus Service Cloud versus Health Cloud boundaries, and on where a capability belongs when Salesforce ships a native alternative to something AbbVie already runs.  Manage design reviews and enforce architecture compliance.  Lead Domain Review Board reviews for all initiatives touching Salesforce, classify review tier through weekly project request intake reviews, evaluate solution designs against the Architecture Review Checklist, and coordinate remediation plans with the Salesforce application teams.

Reconcile the roadmap quarterly against the Salesforce vendor roadmap.  Author the Salesforce Standards Library.  Own data model conventions, integration patterns, packaging and deployment standards, environment and sandbox topology, security and sharing model patterns, and platform limits governance. Onboard Salesforce application teams to the standard delivery pipeline with the packaged deployment standard in force.  Govern agent and AI capability on the platform.  Own the evaluation and admission path for Agentforce agents, AgentExchange listings, and MCP tool exposure so the marketplace does not become an ungoverned procurement channel. Define what gets built, what gets installed, and what gets rejected, and enforce the constraint that Agentforce agents operate exclusively within the Salesforce platform. Hold the Data 360 boundary: authoritative mastering stays upstream in the enterprise data estate.  Own the Salesforce vendor relationship and rationalization decisions . Serve as primary architecture relationship owner for Salesforce: run the quarterly strategic review cadence, track the release stream and product direction, and surface roadmap misalignment with the cost of waiting stated. Identify duplicate capability inside the Salesforce estate and lead build, buy, or wait evaluations with supporting total cost of ownership analysis; a decision to wait must be time-boxed with a named re-evaluation trigger. Provide dotted-line technical leadership and cross-domain coordination.  Provide architectural direction and mentorship to the Salesforce Platform Architect and to solutions architects in delivery organizations, and participate in Platform Architect hiring.

Experience migrating a Salesforce estate from one CI/CD toolchain to another is directly relevant.  Experience architecting a CRM platform migration or consolidation program, including coexistence patterns between an incumbent and a target platform.  Demonstrated experience authoring and publishing architecture standards, reference architectures, or roadmaps that delivery teams actually adopted, and leading architecture
