Sr. Salesforce Consultant (Small - Midsize Engagements)

*Thunder is ALL-Remote from anywhere in U.S.

Summary 

We need a HERO. This is your opportunity to build your Salesforce brand here at Thunder. Want to grow and develop in your ownership (a key Thunder value!) of a solution, in partnership with offshore and nearshore resources? This opportunity is a fantastic starting point to a number of career paths within Thunder: Solution Architect, Project Manager, Engagement Lead, Delivery Director, or even Pre-Sales! 

Think of this role as a “General Manager” for smaller-scope, less-technical Thunder projects. You’ll wear several hats: mostly Solution Architect or BA, but with daily aspects of Project Manager, you will be the primary onshore resource for these engagements, and will be across more than one project at a time.

You will have support from the PMO team, as well as other Engagement Managers, Architects, or Practice Leads, on your projects to ensure you have the tools and resources to make your projects successful.
