We are seeking an experienced Salesforce Data Cloud Architect with a focus to lead the design,
implementation, and optimization of Salesforce Data Cloud (Data 360) and Salesforce Sales Cloud as our primary
platform for driving contractor and professional buyer engagement. This role is responsible for creating a unified,
trusted, and actionable 360-degree view of customers — including professional painters, contractors, and
trade buyers — by integrating data across Sales Cloud, Retail POS, partner channels, loyalty programs, and
third-party sources.
  
This is a 6+ month contract.  They would like someone to come in the office a couple of times a month, but they are fine with being 100% remote.  MUST be willing to work in PST time zone.
  
The ideal candidate combines deep Salesforce Data Cloud and Sales Cloud expertise with real-world B2B domain knowledge and is passionate about turning complex data landscapes into powerful, revenue generating sales insights.

primary system of record and activation layer for Pro sales workflows.

customers for targeted sales plays.
Analytics & Reporting
• Enable advanced analytics and reporting by integrating Data Cloud insights with Tableau, CRM Analytics,
or other BI tools to surface Pro sales performance metrics.
• Design dashboards and data views that empower sales leadership with Pro segment KPIs: Pro retention
rates, repeat purchase rates, revenue growth, and field sales adoption.
• Track and report on success metrics including accuracy of contractor identity resolution, data latency
improvements, and adoption by sales and marketing teams.
Technical Leadership & Collaboration
• Serve as the primary technical authority on Salesforce Data Cloud and Sales Cloud capabilities, best
practices, and platform limitations for the Pro segment.

developers, and analytics teams to translate Pro sales requirements into scalable technical solutions.
