eni or Lead Solutions Architect, Salesforce Migrations
is an individual contributor who leads complex customer migration engagements from kickoff through successful go-live. You serve as the primary technical and strategic point of contact for your migration pod — building trust with customers, coordinating with our Global Delivery Center (GDC) engineering partners, and ensuring every engagement drives real, measurable value as customers move to modern cloud architectures.
This role sits at the intersection of customer relationship management and hands-on technical execution. You'll act as a trusted advisor who bridges a customer's legacy environment with their future-state platform — accelerating timelines through automated playbooks and AI-assisted tooling, while serving as a direct feedback channel to Product and Engineering on what's working (and what isn't) in the field.
