Hi G***e, Glad to dive into that. Here’s a snapshot of our current Salesforce team and the key technical challenges we’re working through: 1. Team Structure & Reporting - CRM Practice Size: Roughly 15,20 professionals in our Salesforce practice, across business analysts, developers, architects, and QA. - CRM Pods: We’ve split into two pods (public sector and private sector). Each pod typically includes: • 1 Solution Architect • 2,3 Developers • 1 QA Engineer • 1 Senior BA (that’s the role we’re recruiting for) • 1 Junior BA - Reporting Lines: You’d report directly to the CRM Delivery Lead, who in turn reports to our Head of CRM Practice. We encourage open communication across pods,so you’ll also collaborate closely with architects, developers and our data team on a daily basis. 2. Biggest Technical Hurdles - Data Quality & Governance: Years of manual data imports and Excel-based workarounds have led to duplicates, inconsistent records, and unclear ownership rules. We’re putting governance processes in place, but it’s a major lift to retrofit best practices. - Integration Complexity: Our Salesforce org needs tighter real-time integration with ERP and marketing automation platforms. We currently rely on batch jobs and middleware that introduce latency and error-handling gaps. - Org Sprawl & Technical Debt: Over the years, various project teams have built custom objects, triggers and flows in an ad-hoc way. We need to rationalize customizations, introduce a CI/CD pipeline, and enforce modular architecture. - Reporting Scalability: While we have dashboards in place, they’re often built reactively. We’re aiming for a more strategic data model and self-service BI layer so finance, marketing and operations can get insights without constant BA intervention. This is exactly the kind of challenge where your experience,shaping roadmaps, enforcing governance, and embedding agile practices,would make a big impact. Happy to unpack any of these points further when we talk on Wednesday at 3 PM CET. Looking forward to it! Best, J***e HR Recruiter, StrategyBrain

Hi G***e, Great questions,here’s how we’re tackling both areas: 1. Data Ownership & Dedupe - Ownership model: each pod (public/private) has a designated Data Steward,typically the Senior BA partners with an Operations lead,and both report into our central Data Governance Council. We maintain a simple RACI matrix so it’s crystal-clear who’s responsible for create/edit/archive across key objects. - Tools & processes: we’re piloting Salesforce’s native Duplicate Management rules alongside a lightweight third-party dedupe tool. Weekly data-quality dashboards flag anomalies, and we’ve built an automated remediation pipeline (mass-merge jobs + triage queues) that feeds directly into our backlog for continuous cleanup. 2. Org Sprawl & CI/CD - We’re rolling out a Salesforce DX,based pipeline built on Git and Jenkins, leveraging unlocked packages for modular deployments. Code reviews and automated unit tests gate every merge, and we’re standardizing sandbox lifecycles to keep environments clean. - That said, we remain open to more bespoke solutions or commercial CI/CD platforms if our scale or complexity demands it. Happy to dive into our branching strategy, packaging approach and governance cadence in more detail,let me know what you’d like to see on Wednesday! Best, J***e HR Recruiter, StrategyBrain

Hi G***e, Great questions,here’s a high-level overview of how we’re running Git, unlocked packages and governance today: 1. Git Branching & Environment Promotion - Trunk-based development with short-lived feature branches off main. Each branch focuses on a single user story or ticket, and merges back into main via Pull Requests. - Every merge triggers our Jenkins pipeline: unit tests → static code scan → package build → deploy to the integration sandbox. Once validated, we promote the same artifact through UAT, staging and finally production. - We keep sandbox lifecycles aligned to this flow: developers work in personal scratch orgs or dev sandboxes, integration is a shared sandbox, then we have dedicated UAT and staging orgs before production. 2. Unlocked Package Structure - We organize packages by domain area to maximize modularity and team ownership. For example: • SalesCloud Core (leads, opportunities, quotes) • ServiceCloud (cases, SLAs, entitlements) • Marketing Automations (engagement programs, journeys) • Shared Utilities (custom metadata types, helper classes, common components) - Each package has its own Git folder/repo, CI pipeline and versioning. Teams own their domain’s package but coordinate on cross-package dependencies via defined version ranges. 3. Governance Cadence - Weekly squad syncs (30 min) with the Senior BA, lead developer and QA to review upcoming CI failures, dependency bumps and hotfixes. - Bi-weekly architecture and packaging review (60 min) with Solution Architects, Senior BAs and CI/CD SME to approve new package dependencies, major version releases or branching model tweaks. - Monthly Release Governance Board (45 min) with CRM Delivery Lead, Head of Practice and key stakeholders to sign off on production promotions, review post-release metrics and prioritize any technical debt or cleanup work. Happy to walk through any of these components in more detail during our call,or share a visual of our pipeline and RACI if that helps. Let me know what you’d like to dive into further!
