As a Post-Sale Solution Architect on the GTM Business Applications team, you will serve as the critical bridge between our business stakeholders and the engineering team, driving the design and execution of scalable solutions across the full post-sale customer lifecycle. This includes case management, entitlements, licensing, telemetry-driven support, depot and logistics workflows, asset management, and customer support portals within the Salesforce ecosystem.
