What does a program architect do?? I keep seeing this role at SF but what kind of responsibilities does this imply?
Bowl Leader
It seems like the PA role is more fun. They are focused more on strategy, governance, and vision. The bulk of hands-on work they do would be POCs and other solution engineering type of things.
Conversely, Tech Archs at large partners are on the hook for deliverable creation and more hands on delivery execution.
I think that the total comp at a partner might be a little better, but the work life balance is certainly worse.
I’d love to hear from someone’s experience who worked as a PA and as a large partner tech arch. I’m going to refer to large partner as SI (System Integrators) as well.
Here are my thoughts —
If you have the SI structure to hop between projects and provide architecture input across diverse clients, that work is also extremely varied. You are focusing on the HL architecture, governance, solutions while leaning on your deputee technologists and BAs to fill in the details. But that vision will vary based on the project demands and skill sets of the large SI’s staff.
OP, I like your description. To add on, the SF PA role is going to be more pre-sales from a perspective of really advocating for the adoption/procurement of Salesforce. The Tech Arch at large SI will be focused on pre-Sales to support RFPs and biz dev to win the work for the implementation or POC engagement, but more time spent on managing teams / architecture after the decision for Salesforce is made — it’s implementation time, folks.
Curious on your opinion or how well above maps to your experiences!
