• Balance innovation and delivery throughput with platform health by managing technical debt, reducing unnecessary customizations, and enforcing standard patterns.
• Serve as the technical lead for complex enhancements, automation, and cross-platform workflows spanning Salesforce, ServiceNow, and connected systems.

• Partner with InfoSec, Privacy, and Compliance to ensure secure-by-design solutions, audit readiness, and appropriate controls across platforms.
• Drive data quality practices, permissioning discipline, and automation governance to reduce long-term operational risk and improve usability.
• Lead design and reliability improvements for integrations and data flows between Salesforce/ServiceNow and enterprise platforms (e.g., ERP, middleware/iPaaS, data platforms).
• Improve observability and supportability of integrations (monitoring, alerting, logging, reconciliation) to enable faster detection and resolution of issues.
• Enable reporting and operational insights by ensuring data structures, definitions, and processes support KPIs and decision support.
