Job Description

Slalom New Zealand 

Slalom is a fiercely human consulting company focused on end-to-end business transformation enabled by technology. With 20-plus years of experience and operating in 54+ markets around the world, Slalom teams have the autonomy to move fast and do what's right for our clients, making us more personal and nimbler than traditional consulting firms. At Slalom, we offer variety, fulfillment, and balance. You can work with the world's top companies, keep up with the latest technology, flex your skills across industries, pursue your life outside of work and, spend quality time with your family. After launching our Auckland office in February 2023, we are continuing to grow, and the below role is yet another opportunity to start your journey with Slalom and help us shape the future.

The Salesforce team

As a Platinum Salesforce partner, we help our clients transform the way they connect with their customers. Our team is made up of Salesforce-certified experts with experience across the Salesforce Customer Success Platform and multiple industries. As the 3rd largest global Salesforce partner, we are committed to growing and developing our Salesforce talent, offering continued growth opportunities, and exposing our people to interesting and diverse projects.

The Role: Senior Principal - Market Solutions

As a Senior Principal in our Salesforce Practice, you will be a market-facing solution leader and trusted advisor on our most strategic Salesforce opportunities. With a broad industry remit, you will combine deep architectural and technical expertise with billable client delivery, while shaping our go‑to‑market strategy, solution offerings, and sales enablement for Salesforce. You will not directly lead pursuits, but will be the key solution expert supporting sales and account teams to win and grow our Salesforce business.

What You Will Do

• Act as the primary solution and architecture expert for high‑value Salesforce opportunities and engagements, with a focus on Public Sector and adjacent industries. 
• Define and refine market-ready solution offerings and reference architectures for key Salesforce use cases (e.g., case management, licensing/permits, grants, citizen services) relevant to Public Sector and cross‑industry needs. 
• Partner with account teams, industry leads, and Salesforce counterparts to shape deal strategy, qualify opportunities, and position differentiated Salesforce solutions that align to client priorities. 
• Support pursuits by leading the solution content of pre‑sales activities—discovery sessions, envisioning workshops, solution walkthroughs, and executive briefings—without owning the overall pursuit. 
• Contribute to the architecture and technical sections of RFP/RFI responses, including solution approach, platform fit, integration strategy, estimates, and delivery roadmap. 
• Translate client business objectives and regulatory requirements into feasible, scalable Salesforce solution designs, spanning data model, integration, security, and user experience at the conceptual/logical level. 
• Provide solution and architectural oversight across key Salesforce programs within your focus area, ensuring delivery remains aligned with the agreed value case, standards, and roadmap.

What You'll Bring To Slalom

• 10+ years of Salesforce consulting experience, with significant time spent in a technical or solution architecture–focused role on complex, multi-cloud or multi-system implementations. 
• Proven experience designing and/or selling Salesforce solutions for Public Sector (state/local or federal) or similarly regulated environments; broader industry experience is a plus. 
• Deep expertise in core Salesforce products (e.g., Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Experience Cloud, Platform) and familiarity with Public Sector–relevant products (e.g., Public Sector Solutions, OmniStudio, Industries/Industry Cloud). 
• Strong background in enterprise solution architecture concepts: data modeling, integration patterns (APIs, middleware, event-driven), security and access models, and performance/scalability considerations. 
• Demonstrated success in pre‑sales and solution sales support for large, strategic deals, including workshops, demos, and C‑level presentations, even if not acting as pursuit lead. 
• Ability to articulate clear solution options and trade‑offs, linking architectural and design decisions to business value, cost, risk, and long‑term maintainability. 
• Experience working in billable roles, balancing high-quality delivery with commercial awareness (scope, estimates, delivery approach, and risk).

Our Values

Our culture and values reflect each individual Slalomer. We are dedicated to encouraging workplace diversity and ensuring all our people, from any background can contribute to their full potential. We wish to build a team that echoes the diversity of the communities we serve, and our values are an active part of our every-day, guiding our decisions.
