Requirements REQUIRED PROFILE SCOPE NOTE The client is looking for someone who can do both: analyze and configure. This isn't a Business Analyst who simply delegates configuration to someone else, nor is it a Salesforce admin who waits for specifications. A strong understanding of Salesforce Financial Services Cloud (Flows, validation rules, security, objects, and fields) is essential and must be demonstrated on real-world projects. The context is a modernization program with a multidisciplinary team structure, which means the ideal candidate is comfortable with ambiguity and can collaborate effectively with executives, a Product Owner, an integration architect, and business teams without requiring close supervision. The "T-Shape" concept is explicitly mentioned: the client expects someone who will step outside their comfort zone when the team needs them to. There is significant pressure on deadlines, with the mandate extending until December 31st, leaving little room for maneuver.
