The Customer Engagement Platforms and Services function acts as Salesforce Center of Excellence (CoE) within Roche Digital Technology. These platforms and services are consumed by others to create business facing platforms, products and services. The goal is to empower product teams to develop business capabilities efficiently and compliantly, while reducing their cognitive load and allowing them to focus on value generation. Although development and operations remain decentralized, the Salesforce CoE can offer additional services, especially to smaller organizations that may lack certain specialized skills. The team is mandated to significantly reduce unintended customization and technical diversity by partnering with the business functions using the systems and driving re-use, simplification and standardization.

Address Architectural Debt: Proactively identify and resolve complex technical debt, performance bottlenecks, and structural architectural challenges within the Salesforce ecosystem.
Enforce Compliance & Security: Ensure all software quality management, cybersecurity, and secure practices (such as shift-left and embedded automated code analysis) line up with regulatory expectations like GxP and ICFR.
Foster Technical Mentorship: Act as a technical mentor within an internationally distributed team, actively sharing knowledge and giving speeches at organizational events such as DevOps Days or Tech Talks.
Manage Stakeholder Strategy: Prioritize and communicate technical information effectively with stakeholders, ensuring a big-picture view where technical components align with global organizational strategies.
Who you are:
Experienced Technical Lead: You bring a proven track record of successfully driving small to medium initiatives at a Project, Squad, or Product level within a global context.
