Senior Technical Architect - Life Sciences

The Experience
Salesforce Professional Services is seeking a Senior Technical Architect to support our Life Sciences customers across the EMEA North region (the Nordics, Benelux, and Switzerland) from a base in Denmark, within the Customer Success Group - Professional Services. You serve as a strategic advisor and Salesforce product and platform expert to pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical technology organisations, helping them turn business priorities into scalable, secure and maintainable solutions.
You work with customers and partners to define the solution vision, lead technical architecture and guide implementation across commercial operations, medical affairs, patient services and, where relevant, clinical engagement. You connect industry needs with platform capabilities while helping customers manage complexity, reduce technical debt and realise long-term value.
The role combines technical expertise with consulting and leadership. You engage developers, business stakeholders and executives, align multiple delivery teams and help customers make informed architecture decisions within a regulated environment.
Life Sciences is your primary focus. Depending on business demand, you also contribute your architecture expertise to engagements in other industries across EMEA North.
Travel is part of the role. We plan it in advance where possible and aim to give you the flexibility to combine the demands of the role with your personal life.
