About the Role
Salesforce is the #1 AI CRM, where ambition meets action and innovation is a way of life. We are seeking a Distinguished Technical Architect, Data & AI to join our EMEA Go-to-Market organisation. This senior technical leadership role is focused on accelerating Agentforce and Data360 sales and value realization across EMEA's most strategic enterprise customers.

As the Distinguished Technical Architect, you will be Salesforce's most senior technical voice on Data and AI in EMEA, acting as a Field Chief Data and AI Officer in practice. Your impact will span thought leadership, strategic architecture in complex deal cycles, and internal force multiplication through reusable assets and coaching.

You will represent Salesforce at industry events, engage with C-level executives to shape enterprise data and AI strategy, lead architectural deep-dives and design sprints, and develop scalable enablement assets. You will also collaborate closely with Product and Engineering teams to influence product roadmaps and contribute to the global Architect community.

Experience

Deep hands-on expertise with enterprise data platforms, AI/ML, Generative AI, and agentic architectures including Salesforce Agentforce, Data360, and the Salesforce platform.

Demonstrated ability to design and deliver reusable technical assets at scale. Fluency with modern data and AI stack technologies including cloud data platforms (Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery), agentic frameworks, RAG, vector databases, LLM orchestration, data governance, and enterprise integration patterns. Hands-on programming skills (Python, JavaScript, SQL) and familiarity with agent interoperability standards (MCP, A2A). Experience working in complex, matrixed enterprise environments across multiple EMEA markets.

About you
Technically elite, commercially sharp, and compelling on stage. Exceptional communicator and storyteller able to translate complex architectural concepts into board-level narratives. Futurist mindset with the ability to connect today's architectural decisions to tomorrow's possibilities. Gravitas to command rooms from customer sessions to large conferences. Trusted advisor demonstrating integrity, transparency, and reliability. Natural multiplier who codifies knowledge and shares it with the team. Curious and continuously learning, experimenting, and bringing new ideas.

Qualifications
