About This Role
As Principal Technical Consultant and Lead Architect for Salesforce Solutions, you'll lead end-to-end delivery of digital transformation projects focused on sustainability outcomes, particularly using Salesforce Net Zero Cloud. This role involves translating client business objectives into scalable Salesforce solutions that support carbon accounting, climate action, and ESG reporting, while ensuring projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to the highest standards. You'll be the technical authority bridging environmental consulting expertise with Salesforce technology implementation.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day might involve leading a client workshop to map sustainability reporting requirements to Salesforce Net Zero Cloud capabilities, then collaborating with ERM's environmental experts to ensure technical solutions align with carbon accounting methodologies. You'd likely spend time architecting integrations between Salesforce and client sustainability data sources, while mentoring junior consultants on both technical implementation and sustainability context.
