About The Position

Privia's Senior Manager of Salesforce Engineering oversees the day-to-day construction, tactical adoption, and innovative execution of the Salesforce platform across our growing nationwide network. Operating at the intersection of practical business needs and technical delivery, this role is responsible for managing a high-performing engineering delivery team to turn functional requirements into scalable, secure, and reliable technology solutions. We are looking for a highly motivated, forward-thinking Salesforce leader who thrives in a fast-paced environment and brings a strong automation-first mindset to daily operations. While this role requires an expert-level understanding of the Salesforce ecosystem, the ideal candidate must be eager to deeply learn Privia’s unique healthcare business model rather than simply relying on past playbooks. The Senior Manager will partner closely with the Salesforce Product Owner, Platform Strategy, and our Platform Architect to ensure engineering output aligns seamlessly with our multi-year enterprise roadmap. Ultimately, the primary focus of this role is leading, mentoring, and organizing our delivery team—maximizing sprint efficiency, output quality, and deployment speed while actively unblocking technical disruptions—all while executing on the platform's architectural evolution and AI-driven future.

Requirements

8+ years of deep experience within the Salesforce platform ecosystem, with at least 3+ years in a dedicated engineering leadership, team lead, or technical management capacity.
Strong experience with a complex enterprise Salesforce environment leveraging Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, and Community/Experience Cloud.
Strong hands-on background in Salesforce development technologies (Apex, Lightning, Flows) alongside practical experience utilizing enterprise deployment tools such as Copado and executing release governance protocols.
Practical experience implementing Salesforce AI capabilities (such as Einstein GPT, Agentforce, or similar tools) within a production environment, alongside a strong background in complex connectivity involving REST/GraphQL, MuleSoft, Event-driven architecture, and Data Cloud.
Mastery of data modeling and identity management, specifically regarding how they relate to AI grounding and data masking.
Deep experience with workflow automation, process optimization, and data integration/ETL tools like MuleSoft and Data Loader.
Strong understanding of security and compliance frameworks within a regulated industry, with a strict requirement to comply with HIPAA rules and best practices.
Must hold current Salesforce certifications including Administrator, Advanced Administrator, Sales Cloud Consultant, and Service Cloud Consultant, alongside a continuous willingness to pursue further platform certifications.
Ability to approach engineering tasks with intellectual curiosity, stepping outside of "how things were done before" to deeply learn and solve for Privia's specific business model.
Exceptional communication skills with a proven ability to bridge the gap and effectively explain complex technology to business users, product owners, and technical developers alike.
Ability to inspire, motivate, and mentor an engineering team toward high performance, technical accuracy, and operational efficiency.
Adaptable and flexible leader who can effectively manage competing priorities and successfully guide a technical team through a fast-paced, high-volume delivery environment.
