Overview

Zennify seeks a Senior Pre-Sales Solution Architect as a critical part of our growth engine. This individual focuses on pre-signature activities, including structured discovery, thoughtful solution design, clear estimates, proposal development, and risk and assumption management. The ideal candidate brings deep expertise across all aspects of Salesforce’s Financial Services (FINS) vertical, including banking, credit unions, insurance, and wealth management, and understands how Salesforce and related technologies drive measurable outcomes for these industries. This individual will play a key role in evolving how AI agents support the sales process by identifying high-value use cases, piloting narrow workflows, and establishing practical guardrails. Success requires strong critical thinking, effective communication, and a business-outcome orientation, as well as close partnership with Delivery to ensure solutions fit boundaries and mitigate risk.

Primary Responsibilities

  • Lead discovery and scoping sessions, clarify objectives, metrics, constraints, and risks
  • Translate business goals into solution options across FSC, Data Cloud, Mulesoft, identity, security, and analytics
  • Build clear level-of-effort estimates, staffing plans, timelines, and assumptions from discovery inputs and complexity drivers
  • Direct a deal-desk function to prepare proposals, SOW sections, assumptions, exclusions, and executive decks
  • Pilot AI agent support for first-draft artifacts within defined guardrails, ensure human-in-the-loop quality, and track rework
  • Map pre-sales processes, identify bottlenecks, and recommend realistic agent use that reduces cycle time and improves consistency
  • Maintain templates, playbooks, and reusable components to improve speed, margin, and win rate
  • Present solution and commercial narratives to executives and technical stakeholders
  • Align pricing, terms, and assumptions with Sales and Delivery, and ensure a clean, documented handoff into execution

Required Qualifications

  • 8+ years in pre-sales, solution architecture, or technical leadership in Salesforce consulting for financial services
  • Strong background in solution design for FSC, Data Cloud, integrations, APIs, security, and identity
  • Demonstrated success shaping complex deals, building estimates, responding to RFPs, and writing SOWs
  • Experience reviewing and refining AI-assisted outputs with a structured approach to quality, compliance, and brand tone
  • Proven ability to lead cross-functional work, and manage concurrent pursuits
  • Excellent communication skills with executives, product owners, and engineers
  • Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field, or equivalent experience

Preferred Qualifications

  • Salesforce certifications, such as System Architect, Application Architect, and relevant Consultant certifications
  • Experience with data modernization in financial services, including modeling, lineage, governance, and analytics
  • Familiarity with OmniStudio, AgentForce, Call Center Technology such as Genesys
  • Hands-on experience defining retrieval sources, prompt patterns, and review criteria for agent-assisted work
  • Track record improving pre-sales cycle time, accuracy, and margin through process redesign and automation

Qualities of the Ideal Candidate

  • Self-starter with a bias to action, comfortable owning outcomes without heavy direction
  • Roll-up-sleeves mentality, willing to draft, iterate, and close gaps to get the job done
  • Pragmatic with AI, selecting narrow, high-value use cases with measurable results
  • Builder-operator mindset, steadily improving templates, playbooks, and data sources
  • Ownership mentality, accountable for quality, predictability, and smooth delivery handoffs
The full compensation package is based on candidate's experience and certifications.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
