Principal Consultant, Data 360 (Data Cloud)
About this role
About Us - CloudMasonry
CloudMasonry is a full-service Salesforce consultancy with multi-cloud expertise, serving enterprise clients through onshore, collaborative teams. Senior consultants shape the solution, and we were the first Salesforce consultancy to build AI into a complete delivery methodology, where it keeps requirements, documentation, and reporting moving so our teams spend more time with clients.
With offices in the US and UK, 65+ consultants holding 350+ Salesforce certifications, 559+ completed projects, a 4.9 CSAT, and an 89% repeat-client rate, CloudMasonry works with enterprise clients on their most complex Salesforce programs.
About the Role
The Principal Consultant, Data 360 is a hands-on, client-facing delivery role within CloudMasonry’s Data & AI Practice. You will design and build the data foundation our clients rely on: ingesting data from Salesforce and external systems, modeling it, resolving identities, and activating unified profiles and insights back into the applications and agents their teams use every day.
Your primary focus is Data 360, with the ability to also deliver on core Salesforce CRM. Data 360 work rarely lands on a clean org: unified profiles are built largely from Sales Cloud and Service Cloud data, activations are consumed back inside those clouds, and when a client asks why a record looks wrong, the answer is often in the CRM rather than the data platform. You will configure and troubleshoot Sales Cloud and Service Cloud yourself and advise on core object model and automation changes, and on blended engagements you may pick up CRM work directly.
This is a senior individual contributor position. You will own significant workstreams end to end, from requirements through configuration, testing, deployment, and client enablement. You will be the senior Data 360 voice on projects.
Success in this role means being comfortable with messy source data, unclear ownership, and clients who are still deciding what their data model should look like. You will bring an informed point of view, document decisions clearly, and diagnose root causes.
This role reports to the Data & AI Practice Lead and works closely with Solution Architects, Engagement Managers, and Project Leads on assigned engagements.
