Experience

• Design is a group of passionate designers who build transformational experiences by turning human insights into business impact at Salesforce scale. We partner with our technical and solution competencies, to support our Financial Services, Health and Life Sciences verticals, and help customers unleash the full power of Salesforce through a design-centric approach delivering useful, usable and desirable experiences. Our work environment appeals to self-motivated, flexible team players that have great interpersonal skills and lots of curiosity. We believe in peer relationships rather than hierarchies; in teams rather than lone thinkers. Salesforce is all about an open collaborative approach and we think it is the key enabler for us to deliver innovative, ground-breaking work. Our designers follow a consultant mindset including working with different Salesforce colleagues across various engagements, willingness to travel when required and understanding the value of working on site. We are looking for a passionate and pragmatic design thinker who is eager to join a fun, collaborative and innovative team. The focus of the role is interactive—web and mobile applications, interactive design and user experience. The Sr. Architect serves as the project leader and main point person for design engagements. He/she is responsible for leading the experience strategy and establishing and maintaining the highest quality of execution across all work. He/She will be responsible for the vision for an engagement as well as being able to lead multidisciplinary project teams. The Architect must always provide team leadership, build strong partnerships and foster collaboration with the customer. We believe the best Sr. Architects are those who obsess over the creation of customer and business value. They have a customer-centric and collaborative mentality, a willingness to commit to the customer, and the drive to break down barriers to ensure customer success.
