Not sure if what’s you’re thinking of, but I went from implementation to a product owner of a Salesforce org at an end customer (Solution Architect was my old title).

I’ve worked in these roles and hired for these roles. My note that may be helpful is this:
I recently was hiring for a sales ops/admin role. There were a lot of SFDC consultants that applied and I spoke to. Not many had granular actual ops experience. Implementation experience was high level but companies need people who have been in the weeds to solve and clean up issues. Not only in SFDC but in data/dept process/sales cycle/other sales tools and integrations.

Is there any such role that gives good comp, great work/life balance (I don’t even wanna be near 60 hours), and overall interesting role/company?
