Director Technical ConsultingAbout Salesforce & Role SummaryThe Director, Data Foundation Delivery is a senior leader who owns the strategy, architecture, and successful delivery of enterprise Data Foundation engagements for Salesforce Professional Services customers. Drawing on 15+ years of deep data experience, you set the technical vision, advise customer executives at the CxO level, and lead the delivery of a governed, AI‑ready data foundation across a progressive, customer‑calibrated maturity journey.
You are the definitive authority on bringing the Data Foundation Delivery to life including core data capabilities, associated frameworks, and ability to operate across one or more of the platform stack (Salesforce Data 360, Informatica IDMC, MuleSoft).
As a Salesforce leader, you help customers bring the Salesforce ecosystem into the broader landscape of technology investments they have already made — directing both platform‑agnostic execution (interoperable, open‑standards, multi‑vendor) and platform‑centric execution (Salesforce‑native), so the data foundation fits the customer's reality rather than forcing a single stack. Every foundation is built with governance, quality, security, and privacy embedded from day one, and serves both traditional analytics for people and agentic AI for machines.
Above all, you champion AI‑based professional services delivery: you set the standard for how engagements use AI tools like (Claude Code, Gemini, Lucid AI, NotebookLM) to compress delivery effort while raising quality and consistency, and you author the reusable IP — prompt templates, skills, and agents — that scales delivery.
You are an industry thought leader who shapes the practice's point of view on the agentic future of the SaaS industry, translating where enterprise data, AI agents, and the SaaS ecosystem are heading into how we advise and deliver for customers today.
This is a customer‑billable delivery role — a senior individual contributor accountable for engagement outcomes and hands‑on technical leadership, not an internal people‑management position.
What You Will Do (Key Responsibilities)Strategic Advisory & Executive Alignment
Serve as trusted advisor to customer CxOs;
shape data strategy andthe business case
Own executive discovery, maturity assessment, and the phased, customer‑calibrated roadmap
Frame guidance as adaptable options, meeting customers at their entry point (customer‑360, regulatory governance, analytics modernization, unstructured/RAG)
Represent the practice in the most complex, high‑stakes engagements
Architecture Leadership
Set target‑state architecture across Data 360 / Informatica IDMC / MuleSoft
Balance platform‑agnostic and platform‑centric execution — position Salesforce as the center of gravity while integrating cleanly with the customer's existing multi‑vendor technology investments (data platforms, warehouses, lakes, and tools)
Approve architecture decisions;
validate through scopedPOCs before production build
Ensure value is delivered every phase (no big‑bang), with governance‑first discipline
Guarantee dual‑consumption design: analytics for people and agentic AI for machines
Delivery Oversight & Risk
Provide architectural governance and quality assurance across concurrent engagements
Own delivery risk: exec buy‑in, business engagement, scope, and dependency management
Ensure security, privacy, and governance controls are embedded from the start
AI-Augmented Delivery Leadership
Set the standard for AI‑augmented professional services delivery — embed AI tools (Claude Code, Gemini, Lucid AI, NotebookLM) across the full engagement lifecycle to compress effort and raise quality
Define the practice's approach to capability‑driven (not tool‑centric) reusable assets — prompt templates, skills, and agents that any consultant can run to deliver a capability
Establish measurable AI‑acceleration targets and quality guardrails;
institutionalize what works into the playbook
Ensure human‑at‑the‑helm governance so AI‑accelerated delivery stays trusted, auditable, and grounded
Industry Thought Leadership (Agentic SaaS Future)
Own the practice's point of view on the agentic future of the SaaS industry — where enterprise data, AI agents, and the SaaS ecosystem are heading, and what it means for customers
Translate that vision into how we advise and deliver: reference architectures, POVs, and forward‑looking roadmaps for AI‑ready, agent‑native data foundations
Represent the practice externally and internally — publish POVs, brief executives, and shape the market conversation
Bring experience‑based thought leadership into engagements, positioning customers ahead of the agentic shift
Delivery Leadership & Enablement
Author and evolve the Data Foundation Delivery Playbook, accelerators, and reference IP
Provide hands‑on technical leadership to the engagement delivery team;
guide Senior Advisors, Architects, and Consultants on the account
Governance & Handoff
Establish stewardship, RACI, and sustainable customer operating models
Ensure executive‑ready summaries accompany deep technical detail on every engagement
