Salesforce Architect

We’re in this for the greater good at ParetoHealth. Our mission is collective greatness, nothing less will do. Our team is a single force united in the drive to transform employee health benefits.

The company was founded in 2011 to help small and medium-sized businesses fight the rising cost of employee health benefits. We blazed the trail with financing innovations that reduce the risks in self-insurance and deliver significant savings—and we continue to lead with a growing ecosystem of partners and world-class cost control solutions.

But success is measured by more than dollars alone and we measure ours by the good that comes from knowing that every client and all their employees can count on effective, affordable healthcare for years to come.

The Salesforce Architect will manage the CRM’s lifecycle and coordinate projects and initiatives that support Pareto’s growth and retention goals. Working with diverse stakeholders including management, IT, finance, internal users, and external consultants, the Architect will be responsible for recommending the best solution given the requirements and be able to articulate the decision process and tradeoffs that lead to that recommendation. The position requires a strong commitment to Pareto’s values as well as a deep understanding of the Salesforce ecosystem and its own core values.
