The Work

You’ll build, extend and support Salesforce Sales Cloud for a client that runs its quoting, contracting and document processes on Conga. The client depends on clean Account ownership, reliable approval flows and Milestone tracking across integrated systems.

What you will do:

• Design, build and enhance Sales Cloud solutions using Apex, Lightning Web Components (LWC), SOQL/SOSL and Flows.
• Build and maintain Conga solutions: Composer templates and document generation, and CLM / CPQ configuration where it applies.
• Design, build and troubleshoot approval flows: Salesforce Approval Processes, Flow-based approvals and Conga approvals. This covers entry criteria, multi-step and parallel approvers, delegated approvers, escalations, and field updates on approve or reject.
• Configure and support Milestones: milestone definitions, time triggers, warning, success and violation actions, and how Milestones drive SLAs and business processes.
• Support and troubleshoot integrations between Salesforce and external systems (REST/SOAP APIs, Platform Events, middleware). This includes monitoring sync jobs, resolving data errors and working with integration owners.
• Own the Account model: hierarchies, Account Teams, ownership assignment and transfer rules, and how ownership affects sharing, visibility and related records.
• Configure and tune the security model: OWD, role hierarchy, sharing rules and territory-based access.
• Keep data quality high with deduplication, mass updates and migrations.
• Write unit tests, meet coverage requirements, and resolve defects quickly.
• Gather requirements directly from business stakeholders and produce technical documentation.

Must Have

• 5+ years hands-on Salesforce Sales Cloud development: Apex, LWC, SOQL, Flows.
• Hands-on Conga experience: Composer, and ideally CLM and/or CPQ.
• Deep knowledge of Accounts and Account ownership: hierarchies, Account Teams, ownership transfer behavior, the role hierarchy, and the effect of ownership on sharing and related records.
• Solid understanding of how approval flows work: Approval Processes, Flow-based approvals, multi-step routing, and approval-driven automation.
• Understanding of Milestones: setup, time-based actions, and SLA and violation handling.
• Experience supporting integrations: REST/SOAP APIs, integration users, error handling, and troubleshooting data sync.
• Strong grasp of the Salesforce security and sharing model.
• Able to work full-time in CST/EST business hours.
• Excellent written and spoken English, and comfortable working directly with business users.
