　　About Salesforce

　　We're Salesforce, the Customer Company, inspiring the future of business with AI+ Data +CRM. Leading with our core values, we help companies across every industry blaze new trails and connect with customers in a whole new way. And, we empower you to be a Trailblazer, too - driving your performance and career growth, charting new paths, and improving the state of the world. If you believe in business as the greatest platform for change and in companies doing well and doing good - you've come to the right place.

　　Overview of the Role:

You will work on Salesforce standard data models for our "horizontal" applications (e.g. sales, service, marketing) as well as our fast-growing industry-specific apps, helping to shape the structure of data across a much broader range of subject areas than most data modelers see in their careers. You will also contribute to our canonical data model that is the standard data model for Data Cloud. Salesforce is leading the way to bring AI, data, automation and deep industry-specific functionality to our customers. Join our high performance culture of trust, collaboration, transparency, continuous improvement and making work fun!

　　Take ownership of the data model designs advised and represent them to internal and external stakeholders.

　　Coach, mentor and enhance the data modeling design skills of our own team and all the teams we work with.

　　Lead and contribute to data model documentation and collateral to enable the Salesforce ecosystem to understand and properly adopt the Salesforce data model.

　　Seek continuous improvement in Salesforce's processes, methods and tooling to improve our efficiency and effectiveness.

　　Required Qualifications:

　　20+ years of demonstrated, hands-on data modeling and enterprise software design experience in multiple industries for OLTP (relational) and analytical systems

　　Strong knowledge of data modeling principles and best practices including a good understanding of canonical data modeling concepts

　　Ability to quickly grasp technological and business concepts

　　Strong verbal and written communication skills; experience communicating with engineers, software professionals, product management and executives to succinctly explain technical and functional concepts

　　Preferred Qualifications:

　　Experience across a variety of business processes and industries; especially communications, media, energy, utilities, financial services, health, manufacturing, consumer packaged goods, retail, non-profit, education, public sector and sustainability

　　Strong, hands-on knowledge of SQL (or Salesforce SOQL) including performance tuning
