Principal Salesforce Enterprise Architect & Delivery Leader

We are building the next generation of McKesson's commercial and customer engagement platforms and need a principal leader who can connect enterprise architecture, business transformation and disciplined delivery at scale.

Role Purpose:

Define the strategic direction for McKesson Salesforce platforms and ensure that strategy is converted into governed, executable, multi-year delivery. This is not a pure program manager role. It requires deep Salesforce architecture credibility combined with portfolio delivery, vendor, financial and stakeholder leadership.

What You Will Do:

• Set enterprise Salesforce architecture vision, principles, roadmaps and investment priorities across commercial and customer engagement capabilities.

• Lead architecture and delivery across Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, CPQ, integration platforms, data, AI, automation and digital experiences.

• Translate business strategy into target-state architecture, sequenced transformation roadmaps and executable delivery plans.

• Govern major solution decisions through architecture review, design authority, security and risk processes.

• Own portfolio delivery health, dependencies, risks, outcomes and executive communications across multiple initiatives.

• Provide oversight for statements of work, vendor performance, delivery commitments, financial stewardship and value realization.

• Partner with business, product, security, data, integration and engineering leaders to make transparent trade-off decisions.

• Build and mentor a strong architecture and engineering community with reusable standards and clear accountability.

First Six-Month Priorities:

Confirm the current-state portfolio, strategic outcomes, critical risks and stakeholder expectations. Establish a prioritized Salesforce transformation roadmap with decision rights, governance forums and measurable outcomes. Assess delivery model, vendor commitments, SOW alignment, financial controls and major cross-program dependencies. Strengthen architecture standards for security, integration, data, extensibility, AI and platform lifecycle management. Create an executive operating rhythm for decisions, risks, delivery health and value realization.

Required Qualifications:

• 13+ years in enterprise technology, architecture or large-scale platform delivery, including substantial Salesforce leadership experience.

• Demonstrated architecture depth across Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, CPQ, data, security, APIs and enterprise integration patterns.

• Proven leadership of complex, multi-year transformation portfolios with executive stakeholders and multiple delivery partners.

• Experience with portfolio governance, program delivery, vendor management, SOW oversight, financial stewardship and delivery accountability.

• Ability to communicate architecture choices, delivery trade-offs, risk and investment recommendations to executive and technical audiences.

• Track record of building alignment across business, technology, data, security, operations and partner teams.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Salesforce Application Architect and System Architect credentials; advanced architect credentials are valued when supported by relevant experience.

• Experience in regulated, healthcare or other high-compliance enterprise environments.

• Experience with MuleSoft, enterprise data platforms, AI/agent capabilities, DevOps, observability and platform operating models.

• Experience leading architecture review boards, design authorities or enterprise governance forums.
