The Senior Technical Architect (Senior TA) role is part of Salesforce Professional Services in Iberia — a team of delivery professionals working directly with Spain and Portugal's enterprise customers. You'll join a practice navigating one of the most technically demanding moments in its history: the shift to Agentforce delivery at enterprise scale, in regulated industries, in Spanish. As a Senior TA specialised in Life Sciences , you are the technical authority for our most complex pharma, biotech and medtech programs. You will own end-to-end solution architecture across Salesforce Life Sciences Cloud , Health Cloud, Data Cloud and Agentforce, and you will lead architecture for programs that coexist with, integrate with or migrate from Veeva Systems (CRM, Vault, Network). You'll be a trusted advisor for CIO/CTO-level and IT leadership stakeholders, set the technical direction for your engagements, and raise the bar for the Iberia architecture community.

What You'll Actually Be Doing:

Architect & Lead

Own the end-to-end solution architecture of large, multi-cloud, multi-workstream Life Sciences programs, from discovery through go-live and hypercare
Define target-state architectures for Life Sciences Cloud (commercial engagement, HCP/HCO management, omnichannel, field force effectiveness, patient/provider journeys) and for Veeva-to-Salesforce coexistence, migration or replacement scenarios
Set and govern architecture standards, patterns and review processes; lead architecture review boards and make (and defend) the hard design calls
Identify and mitigate technical risk early; act as the final technical escalation point on your engagements
Ensure designs meet the regulatory and compliance expectations of the industry (GxP, CSV/validation, 21 CFR Part 11, GDPR, Sunshine Act / transparency regulations, consent and data privacy)

Integrate & Engineer

Design enterprise integration architectures between Salesforce and the life sciences landscape: Veeva CRM/Vault/Network, MDM, ERP, data warehouses, marketing automation, safety and medical systems
Define event-driven and API-led patterns (REST/SOAP, Platform Events, CDC) and lead middleware strategy (MuleSoft, Dell Boomi, other iPaaS)
Architect complex data models, master data strategy (HCP/HCO, product, consent) and large-scale data migrations, including from Veeva
Design Data Cloud and Agentforce solutions: unified profiles, segmentation, grounding, guardrails and the Einstein Trust Layer in regulated settings
Review and guide code quality in Apex and LWC; work hands-on in Python or JavaScript/Node.js for tooling, automation and prototyping
Define environment, CI/CD and release strategies (Git, DevOps Center or equivalent) for large programs

Advise & Influence

Be the trusted technical advisor of customer IT leadership, translating business strategy and regulatory constraints into a pragmatic architecture roadmap
Lead technical discovery and design workshops with business and IT stakeholders
Produce and own the key architecture artefacts: solution architecture, data and integration architecture, security model, non-functional requirements, migration and cutover strategy
Partner with Sales and pre-sales on shaping, estimating and de-risking Life Sciences opportunities and SOWs
Represent Salesforce Professional Services in executive conversations, steering committees and customer events

Enable & Grow

Mentor and coach Technical Architects and Technical Consultants, building the next generation of architects in the practice
Build and share Life Sciences and Veeva-related assets, accelerators, reference architectures and lessons learned across Iberia and EMEA
Drive technical excellence and champion adoption of AI tooling in delivery
Maintain and grow certifications aligned with the practice (Life Sciences, Agentforce, Data Cloud, Architect Journey)
Lead tech club sessions, internal demos and knowledge-sharing initiatives
