    Roles we recruit

    • Salesforce project managers at consulting partners
    • Technical project managers for implementations, migrations and integrations
    • Delivery and engagement managers who run several client projects at once
    • Program managers for multi-cloud or multi-phase rollouts
    • Hybrid roles that combine project management with Salesforce configuration

    Project manager, delivery manager or hybrid: which do you need?

    A project manager runs one project: scope, schedule, budget, risks and the client relationship. A delivery manager runs a portfolio of projects and the people on them. Smaller partners often want a project manager who can also configure Salesforce. Each of these is a different candidate pool at a different salary. We settle which role to open before the search starts. Sometimes intake shows the role was mislabeled. One partner opened a solution architect search, and the work turned out to be mostly project management.

    What a Salesforce project manager should be able to show you

    • A project they ran from statement of work to go-live, with the budget and hours it actually took
    • A change order they negotiated, and how the client relationship held up
    • A project that went red, when they knew, and who they told first
    • An estimate from their team they challenged, and what they knew about Salesforce that made them challenge it
    • How they ran sprints, status reporting and user acceptance testing

    Project managers who have only run vendors from the client side can keep a schedule. On a Salesforce project, they also need to tell when an estimate is wrong or a design will blow the budget. We test for that.

    Questions we ask candidates

    • Walk us through the last project that went over budget. When did you know, and what did you do that week?
    • A client asks for new work in a status meeting. What do you say in the room?
    • Which estimate on your last project was wrong, and how did you find out?
    • Which parts of the configuration could you do yourself?

    How we work

    • Searches are exclusive. One firm works the role.

    • Each candidate comes with a written assessment of fit and material risks.
    • We recruit for Salesforce consulting partners and for companies that run Salesforce.
    • Direct hire is the main model. Contract project managers are available, full time or part time.

    Common questions

    Do you recruit project managers who also configure Salesforce?

    Yes. Many of our partner clients need a project manager who can configure. We confirm how much configuration each candidate has done themselves.

    Yes. We recruit US-based project managers for remote, hybrid and onsite roles.
