Job Description & Summary
As a Solution Architect, you'll own the end-to-end technical vision for multi-cloud Salesforce implementations - from initial discovery through design, build, and post-launch optimization. You'll lead delivery teams, mentor the next generation of Salesforce consultants, and serve as a trusted advisor to C-suite stakeholders. You'll also play a key role in growing the practice by leading pursuits, developing proposals, and building lasting client relationships.

This role demands equal parts technical depth and consulting leadership. You'll be hands-on in architecture decisions, actively engaged in solution design sessions, and accountable for the quality and scalability of what we deliver. If you're pursuing your CTA or already hold one, this is the platform to leverage it.

Meaningful work you'll be part of

As a Senior Manager, you'll work as part of a team of problem solvers, helping to solve complex business issues from strategy to execution. Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

  • Own the technical design authority for enterprise Salesforce engagements - defining org strategy, data architecture, integration patterns, and security models from discovery through go-live


  • Lead solution architecture across Sales, Service, Experience, Data, Marketing, and Industry Clouds, ensuring designs are scalable, maintainable, and aligned with Salesforce Well-Architected principles


  • Conduct detailed solution design sessions with clients: gathering requirements, mapping business processes to platform capabilities, identifying gaps, and producing technical design documents


  • Design and govern integration architecture: REST/SOAP APIs, middleware (MuleSoft, Boomi), Platform Events, Change Data Capture, and enterprise data migration strategies


  • Establish and enforce DevOps standards for engagement teams: CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Copado, Gearset), branching strategies, code review processes, and deployment governance


  • Lead and mentor a team of 5-15 consultants (developers, configurators, and analysts) - providing technical coaching, conducting architecture reviews, and supporting career development


  • Serve as the escalation point for complex technical challenges: governor limit issues, large data volume strategies, performance optimization, and cross-cloud dependency management


  • Present architecture recommendations to executive stakeholders - translating complex technical trade-offs into business outcomes through clear communication, workshops, and review boards


  • Drive business development: respond to RFPs, deliver pre-sales solution presentations, scope and estimate engagements, develop proposals and SOWs, and build executive relationships


  • Conduct architecture assessments and health checks for prospective and existing clients - identifying technical debt, scalability risks, security gaps, and optimization opportunities


  • Define and improve PwC's Salesforce delivery methodology, reference architectures, estimation models, and reusable accelerators based on lessons learned across engagements
  • PwC Canada is committed to cultivating an inclusive, hybrid work environment. Exact expectations for your team can be discussed with your interviewer


This newly created role reflects our commitment to growth and delivering distinctive value for our clients and stakeholders.
