So many incorrect answers here. It’s consulting. Specialists (once they hit the Manager/Specialist Master level) have HIGHER selling targets but LOWER managed revenue targets (eg we expect you to sell and be eminent in your specialty, not necessarily do nearly as much team “management”). Less pressure to promote though (eg less up or out). I assume they want you to focus in your speciality in Salesforce. Oh and it’s not inward focused—it’s delivery to our clients just like a senior consultant role would be.
It means you can focus more on developing your speciality and less on team management
C1, in my experience, there is rarely much difference in the “work” when the project is actually staffed until you reach SM / SL. Then the SL will be much more of an architect, solution manager and work shorter and more projects. At a SC/SS level of staffing they are essentially saying, give me someone with more product / package experience than a new SC who might have consulting and PM skills. It’s what they are asking for, but the bench dictates what they get !
Here are the levels/equivalent:
Analyst / Analyst
Consultant / Specialist
Senior consultant / Specialist Senior
Manager / Specialist master
Senior manager / specialist leader
Specialist executive
Managing director (rumors about having to go through this path coming soon)
Principal
Very insightful, Thank you all.
One more question: How frequently SS should travel? As equally as SC’s?
Op yes as frequently as SC’a
Salesforce Certified Solutions Architect. What is that? There is not such certification with Salesforce.
Specialist roles are more SME focused while senior consultant roles are geared more towards the selling path of M/SM
It not consulting line. Its more inwards focussed.

In an engagement how are specialists and regular folks staffed? Specialists will deliver and generalists will manage them?
C1 just because someone isn’t a specialist doesn’t make them a generalist. It simply means they don’t have a SPECIFIC deep skill or eminent area. For example, I might be focused on app mod and do it very well across my projects (do, not just manage) but I’m not focused on a specific tech stack.
Let’s not all get butt hurt
There will hardly be a difference at the senior level. Think more about the M and SM levels. This is where the difference lies.
What is M and SM?
Manager and Senior Manager will have more distinction from specialist master and specialist leader
Than specialist senior and senior consultant
So, Deloitte Digital has SS, SM, SL, M and SM. Is that correct?
From SC levels up—-> principle track = SC, M, SM, P Specialist track SS, SMaster, SLeader, Director
Helps?
Oh got it, so SS is the base level in Specialist track.
Thanks for the details. Appreciate it!!
