• Establish and enforce project governance, change control, and escalation frameworks
• Ensure alignment with Salesforce best practices, security standards, and compliance requirements
• Partner with business teams on change management, communications, training, and user adoption

• Strong understanding of Salesforce architecture, integrations, and enterprise data platforms
• Experience working with system integrators, vendors, and cross‑functional internal teams
