  • Partner with the Digital Experience Team (DET) to align deployment mechanisms, tools, and timelines with company policies.
  • Collaborate with the Innovation Team to ensure all Agentforce and Agent deployments are secure, compliant, and functional within the Salesforce ecosystem.
  • Manage code promotion activities with proper backup, rollback, and documentation strategies for each release.
  • 3. Compliance, Trust, and Council Liaison (20%)

  • Represent the Salesforce platform in governance forums, including the AI Council and Trust Council.
  • Secure necessary approvals and conduct impact assessments to address all security, ethical, and data privacy concerns before deploying new features or AI / ML‑integrated technologies.
  • Maintain a strong understanding of regulatory requirements and Salesforce security best practices to ensure ongoing compliance.
  • 4. Leadership, Team, and Vendor Management (10%)

  • Directly manage and mentor Business Analyst direct reports.
  • Oversee and evaluate external Apex Developer and UAT Contractor teams for quality, methodology, and adherence to best practices.
  • Build trusted relationships with internal innovation and enablement teams to translate strategic goals into scalable, compliant platform solutions.
  • Foster a culture of technical excellence, accountability, and continuous improvement.
  • Required Qualifications

  • Experience : 7+ years managing, administering, and governing large‐scale, production‑critical Salesforce environments (50,000+ users).
