Foreign medical breakthroughs and a growing demand for precise and manageable health solutions have turned the life sciences industry into a key catalyst for improved quality of life worldwide. At BASE life science we thrive on pushing boundaries, seeking excellence, and delivering data‑driven consulting expertise that has a lasting impact on healthcare.
Who is BASE life science?
Founded in 2007, BASE life science is a business and technology consulting firm focused exclusively on the life sciences industry.

About the role
As a Salesforce Architect, you will lead the design and development of Salesforce solutions tailored to the unique needs of our pharmaceutical and healthcare clients. You will collaborate with internal teams and clients to architect features that drive business value, ensure scalability, and enhance customer engagement processes. You will act as the subject‑matter expert in Salesforce‑based solutions, translate business requirements into technical design and specifications, and coach less experienced team members.
Leveraging your expertise, you will estimate and engineer reliable solution implementation projects alongside a Project Manager, Business Analyst, and developers. You will join a hybrid team of internal resources, client teams, and vendors/service providers and act as the reference point for technical aspects of the solution design throughout the implementation project.

* Develop and maintain technical documentation, architecture diagrams, and solution roadmaps.
