The ideal candidate possesses true program-level vision and governance expertise, but remains enthusiastic about staying close to the work—driving active execution, untangling delivery friction, and leading from the front lines in a complex banking environment.

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.
