Overview of the Role:

As an Industry Enterprise Architect (IEA) for Retail, no two days are the same.

You are a valued team member, collaborator, contributor and inspiring leader who will spend the majority of your time helping our customers on their digital transformation journey.

You will then start work on a presentation for the board of a major Retail company, using assets from the vast Salesforce repository as well as using your own creativity and insights to prepare a compelling and achievable view of their future.

After lunch with colleagues from across the different business functions in our outstanding Munich office (to just name one) you will participate in an Equality workshop aligned with one of the 10 Equality Group within Salesforce.

The afternoon will be spent communicating our industry point of view to the CDO of a prospective account and debating new trends in AI.
