[Hiring] Salesforce Solution Architect @Plative

Role Description

You are the solution half of a two-person deal team. A Client Partner owns the relationship and the commercials. You own everything the customer will buy: the discovery, the design, the demo, the estimate, and the statement of work.

Our customers are broker dealers, wealth and asset managers, capital markets and alternatives firms, and financial technology companies. Most have 250 to 2,000 employees. Many are on their second or third attempt at Salesforce. They have been burned, and they can tell within twenty minutes whether you have done this before. Your credibility on that first call earns the second one.

What You’ll Actually Do:

• Join scoping calls alongside a Client Partner and run the solution side.
• Ask the business questions, map what you hear to the FSC data model in real time, and flag where out-of-the-box breaks before the customer finds out in month four.
• Run discovery with COOs, heads of advisory, and ops leads who describe their business in their own language.
• Translate so they never have to.
• Build demos that mirror the customer’s workflow, tailored to their firm and disposable afterward.
• Tell customers the truth about the platform.
• Translate SEC, FINRA, Reg BI, KYC and AML, and GLBA requirements into practical design decisions.
• Write levels of effort and statements of work that delivery can execute.
• Recommend build versus buy for integrations with custodians, portfolio accounting, fund administration, core banking, and loan origination platforms.
• Carry 10-15 concurrent pursuits.
• Co-sell with Salesforce AEs and SEs.
• Run the data-readiness conversation inside AI opportunities.
• Hand off cleanly to delivery and run knowledge transfer on every closed deal.
• Contribute reference architectures and demo assets the broader Financial Services team can reuse.

Qualifications

• Real FSC fluency: households and relationship groups, financial account rollups, record types, and the ARC.
• A track record of estimates that held.
• Discovery skills that work without a deck.
• Fluency in at least one focus segment.
• Strong Salesforce integration experience, including web service APIs and their limits.
• Daily AI use with opinions.

Requirements

• Commercial banking or credit union experience, including commercial lending, treasury and payments relationships, member 360 views, and nCino.
• NetSuite familiarity, enough to spot a lead-to-cash or ERP-replacement opening.
• DealCloud or other industry platform exposure.
• Data Cloud, RCA, or RCB scoping experience, especially for usage-based pricing.
• Middleware experience with MuleSoft, Workato, Jitterbit, or Boomi.
• Prior consulting or agency presales.

Benefits

Compensation is competitive and benchmarked to the market. Exact ranges vary by region and will be discussed during the initial interview process.
