As an Industry Enterprise Architect, no two days are the same. You are a valued team member, collaborator, contributor and thought leader who will spend the majority of your time helping our customers on their digital transformation journey. This said, a typical day may start with a team call where you share experiences and expertise with your colleagues in the EA team. You will then start work on a presentation with the CIO of a major industrial manufacturer, 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 amazing Paris office you will participate in an Equality workshop aligned with one of the 10 Equality Group within Salesforce. The afternoon will be spent presenting our industry point of view to the Chief Digital Officer of a prospective account and debating new trends in AI. Before you head home, you check in for your flight to Barcelona the next day where you will be running enablement sessions for 200 sales and pre-sales colleagues at an internal industry summit.
