Senior Salesforce Consultant

Most Salesforce roles ask you to implement what has already been decided. This one also asks you to find out what comes next, and then make it work at enterprise scale.

Why this role

Salesforce, and the way companies use it, is changing fast. AI agents, unified data and new ways of working open up possibilities our clients could not consider a few years ago. We are looking for a Senior Salesforce Consultant who will spearhead innovation at Aledus: someone who constantly looks for better ways of doing things, brings new ideas to clients and to our own team, and turns them into results.

For us, innovation does not happen in a lab. It happens inside real client projects, where new ideas and AI help solve the classic business problems our clients face every day. Strong consulting fundamentals are what make innovation work, and this role brings both together.

About Aledus

Aledus is a Swiss Salesforce Summit Partner. We support our clients in their digitalization and transformation journeys, primarily with Salesforce and related technologies, and help them make informed decisions about the long-term evolution of their systems.

We are an ambitious, driven team of IT and business professionals. We set high goals, take ownership and enjoy achieving what others consider too hard. With deep industry and technology expertise and an Agile mindset from discovery to adoption, we stay focused on one thing: creating real value for our clients.

What you'll do

1) Spearhead innovation

• Look beyond stated requirements for better ways to solve client problems, whether through Salesforce, AI or a smarter process
• Identify opportunities for Agentforce, Data 360 and other new capabilities, and turn them into use cases, prototypes, POCs and pilots
• Bring what works into production, including Agentforce at enterprise scale
• Support pre-sales with discovery, solution outlines, estimates, demos and proposals, and spot new opportunities with existing clients
• Help us innovate in how we work: bring AI into our own delivery and pre-sales, and shape new offerings and methods

2) Consult, deliver and lead the change

• Act as a trusted Salesforce advisor to client stakeholders, from the first needs analysis to a well-founded solution concept
• Lead workshops, alignment sessions and stakeholder discussions
• Gather and refine requirements, and find the root causes behind problems instead of treating symptoms
• Assess current setups and processes, and design simpler, better target processes
• Translate business needs into user stories and acceptance criteria, and support backlog prioritization in Agile teams
• Lead workstreams end to end, from scope, planning and risks through SIT/UAT, go-live and hypercare
• Drive change management and adoption, and help users and leaders build trust in AI-supported ways of working
• Act as a multiplier: support delivery teams, mentor junior colleagues and share what you learn

What you bring

• Experience: 5+ years as a Salesforce Consultant, Business Analyst or in a similar consulting role
• Explorer mindset: you try new things before anyone asks, and you can show what came out of it
• AI fluency: you use AI tools in your daily work and know where their output needs a human check
• Agentforce and Data 360: knowledge and hands-on experience with both (Data 360 was formerly Data Cloud)
• Business analysis: requirements engineering, process analysis and root-cause analysis
• Consulting: strong facilitation and stakeholder management, confidence with senior stakeholders, and the ability to bring structure to ambiguity
• Pre-sales: proven experience supporting Salesforce sales cycles
• Project management: you can plan, steer and report on a workstream in an Agile/Scrum setup
• Change management: you have guided users and organizations through real change
• Salesforce core: expertise in Sales Cloud and/or Service Cloud, including standard functionality, data model, automation and best practices
• German: C1 level or higher
• English: fluent
• Work permit: Swiss citizenship or a valid Swiss work permit

A strong plus

• Industry: experience in Life Sciences, Healthcare or Manufacturing, ideally with Life Sciences Cloud, Health Cloud or Manufacturing Cloud and related certifications
• German: native or C2 level
• Certifications: Agentforce, Data 360, Sales, Service and others
• Solutioning: understanding of integrations, data models and large Salesforce programs
• Marketing Cloud: experience with Marketing Cloud Engagement and/or Marketing Cloud Next

What we offer

• Top-level colleagues: highly experienced Salesforce professionals, up to Certified Technical Architect (CTA) level
• Real enterprise scale: complex programs for global corporations, where your solutions make a visible difference
• Room to innovate: your ideas are heard and quickly turn into real projects and offerings
• A role in sales: help shape and win new engagements, not only deliver them
• Short decision paths: direct access to leadership
• Growth: budget for Salesforce certifications and dedicated time for learning and development
• Employment: permanent full-time position with a competitive salary and hybrid working in Zurich
