About the Role
The Solution Architect, Salesforce Migrations is an individual contributor who leads complex customer migration engagements from kickoff through successful go-live. You serve as the primary technical and strategic point of contact for your migration pod — building trust with customers, coordinating with Global Delivery Center (GDC) engineering partners, and ensuring every engagement drives real, measurable value as customers move to modern cloud architectures.
This role sits at the intersection of customer relationship management and hands-on technical execution. You'll act as a trusted advisor who bridges a customer's legacy environment with their future-state platform — accelerating timelines through automated playbooks and AI-assisted tooling, while serving as a direct feedback channel to Product and Engineering on what's working (and what isn't) in the field.
Note: By applying to this Solution Architect, Salesforce Migrations role your resume will be reviewed by recruiters and hiring managers across the organization. Multiple roles are available supporting various product areas, including Data360, Revenue Cloud, Tableau, and Marketing Cloud. The goal is for you to apply once and be considered for the opportunity that best aligns with your background.
What You'll Actually Be Doing
•Lead end-to-end customer migration engagements — owning technical delivery, project health, and successful go-live outcomes.
•Partner with Account Teams and Sales leadership to align migration goals with customers' broader business strategy, renewal, and expansion objectives.

•Work in close alignment with Outbound Product Managers to stay current on product roadmaps and translate field insights into product improvements.
•Identify underutilized platform capabilities and incorporate them into migration roadmaps to increase customer throughput and adoption.
•Serve as a subject matter expert in at least one key domain: Marketing Cloud (Engagement/Intelligence), Data 360 (Data Cloud), Revenue Cloud (CPQ/Billing), or Tableau.
•Apply AI literacy and prompt engineering skills to guide AI agents in data retrieval, migration health reporting, and task automation.
•Act as the technical point of contact during major migration incidents — coordinating with Engineering and Product to protect the customer's operations during cutover phases.
•Monitor technical trends proactively and provide tailored release recommendations to optimize migrated environments for performance and stability.
