Salesforce Cross Skilled Functional Architect - Financial Services

You are a cross-Financial Services skilled Functional Solution Architect within Accenture's Financial Services Salesforce Business Group practice, operating at the layer between architecture and execution. You translate what senior architects design into what delivery teams build - owning solution design documents, leading technical workstreams, and making sure the architecture holds through the full program lifecycle. You are fluent in Salesforce Data 360, Agentforce, and FS CRM platforms. You thrive in complexity: multi-workstream programs, distributed teams, and client environments where the data is messy, the timelines are tight, and the architecture decisions matter. You bring clarity to ambiguous technical problems and lead junior team members without waiting to be asked.
