  • 2. Strategic Governance & CoE Evolution

  • Framework Co-Design: Partner directly with the Delivery Manager and Salesforce Managing Director to audit current workflows, identify gaps, and architect a scalable, enterprise-wide Salesforce governance framework.

  • CoE Maturation: Help mature our Salesforce Center of Excellence (CoE) and elevate delivery standards across our multi-cloud Banking ecosystem.

  • Standardization: Align business stakeholders, IT teams, and external partners on unified delivery practices, release train coordination, and environment management.

Required Qualifications & Experience

  • 8+ Years of Dedicated Salesforce Experience: Hands-on track record across complex, enterprise-scale Salesforce implementations (e.g., Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Financial Services Cloud, Marketing Cloud).

  • 10+ Years in IT Project / Program Management: Proven experience operating at both the strategic Program Manager level and the hands-on Project Manager level in large enterprise environments.

  • Governance Framework Architecture: Demonstrated experience building, setting up, or refining project/program governance structures and CoE models from the ground up.

  • Banking / Financial Services Domain: Deep understanding of eCRM transformations, complex customer data structures, and compliance considerations within a financial institution.

  • Stakeholder & Vendor Accountability: Exceptional senior executive presence; proven ability to drive alignment between business leaders and technical engineering teams while holding third-party vendors accountable.


Top Core Skills

  • Dual Strategic & Tactical Execution: Ability to design high-level governance frameworks while actively managing day-to-day project schedules, budgets, and deliverables.

  • Enterprise Salesforce Expertise (8+ Yrs): Deep knowledge of Salesforce implementation lifecycles, environment management, and release train coordination.

  • Program-Level Governance & CoE Design: Proven capability to establish intake processes, steering mechanisms, and CoE delivery standards from scratch.
