This Principal Consultant will translate business priorities into scalable data models, governance processes, integration patterns, and implementation roadmaps across Salesforce and the broader enterprise application landscape. The role combines hands-on architecture, delivery leadership, client advisory work, and practice development.

Responsibilities

• Lead discovery sessions with business, data, security, integration, and application stakeholders to define MDM goals, domain priorities, operating constraints, and measurable outcomes.
• Design end-to-end Informatica MDM architectures for customer, product, supplier, reference, and other enterprise data domains using the appropriate Informatica cloud or multidomain capabilities.
• Define canonical data models, hierarchies, relationships, crosswalks, match and merge rules, survivorship logic, trust frameworks, and golden-record processes.
• Develop current-state and target-state architecture, implementation roadmaps, effort estimates, and sequencing recommendations for new deployments, modernizations, and migrations.
• Establish integration patterns for Salesforce and other source and consuming systems using APIs, batch processing, event-driven services, middleware, and Informatica integration capabilities.
• Align MDM design with Salesforce solution architecture, including identity resolution, account and contact models, product and reference data, consent and privacy requirements, and downstream analytics needs.
• Design data quality, profiling, cleansing, validation, enrichment, exception handling, and remediation processes in partnership with data owners and stewards.
• Define workflow, stewardship, role-based access, auditability, and governance controls that support operational adoption and regulatory requirements.
• Set nonfunctional requirements for performance, scalability, availability, security, recoverability, monitoring, and supportability.
• Provide technical direction throughout configuration, development, testing, deployment, and production stabilization; review designs and deliverables for quality and architectural alignment.
• Guide data conversion and migration activities, including source assessment, mapping, reconciliation, cutover planning, and post-load validation.
• Identify delivery risks and architectural decisions early, document tradeoffs, and present clear recommendations to technical and executive stakeholders.
• Partner with project leadership to plan work, manage dependencies, and maintain alignment across onshore and offshore delivery teams.
• Support proposals, solution estimates, statements of work, client presentations, and technical demonstrations for MDM opportunities.
• Coach consultants and engineers, contribute reusable architecture patterns and delivery assets, and help strengthen the practice's Informatica MDM capabilities.

Required Qualifications

• Significant enterprise data-management consulting or delivery experience, including hands-on leadership of Informatica MDM implementations.
• Architecture experience with Informatica Master Data Management Cloud, Multidomain MDM SaaS, or Informatica multidomain MDM, with depth in at least one master-data domain.
• Strong knowledge of MDM concepts, including data modeling, match and merge, survivorship, hierarchy management, data stewardship, workflow, reference data, and golden-record management.
• Experience integrating MDM platforms with Salesforce and other enterprise applications through REST or SOAP APIs, messaging, middleware, batch interfaces, or event-driven patterns.
• Working knowledge of data quality, metadata, governance, privacy, security, and lineage practices within an enterprise data architecture.
• Experience leading architecture across the full delivery lifecycle, from discovery and solution design through testing, deployment, and production support.
• Ability to evaluate legacy and cloud platforms, define modernization or migration approaches, and explain technical tradeoffs to client stakeholders.
• Strong SQL and data-analysis skills, with the ability to assess source data, mappings, transformations, and reconciliation results.
• Demonstrated client-facing consulting skills, including workshop facilitation, executive communication, documentation, estimation, and issue resolution.
• Experience leading distributed teams and coordinating work across architects, developers, data engineers, analysts, administrators, and business stakeholders.
• Bachelor's degree in computer science, information systems, engineering, business, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.

• Knowledge of Salesforce Data Cloud and Salesforce industry or core clouds, particularly where MDM and Salesforce data models must work together.
• Experience with cloud platforms, data warehouses or lakehouses, and integration technologies commonly used in enterprise data ecosystems.
• Informatica, Salesforce, cloud-platform, data-governance, or architecture certifications.
• Experience shaping MDM programs across multiple business units, geographies, or data domains.

• Accountability: Takes ownership of recommendations, commitments, risks, and delivery quality.
• Communication: Explains complex data and architecture concepts clearly to technical and nontechnical audiences.
