Job Description


Salesforce Solution Architect (Contract-to-Hire)

Leesburg, VA (Hybrid)
6-Month C2H | Target Conversion: $175K + 10–15% Bonus
Contract Rate: $80-90/hour target

We’re partnering with a private equity–backed organization in a highly regulated, technology-driven environment undergoing a major platform modernization initiative.

They are seeking an experienced Salesforce Solution Architect to lead architecture efforts for a newly implemented LIMS platform built on the Salesforce (Force.com) ecosystem.


Why This Role Stands Out

  • Ground-floor opportunity – platform launch already underway

  • Own a Salesforce-based LIMS platform long-term

  • Direct exposure to CIO, VP leadership, and executive stakeholders

  • Work alongside a vendor, then transition into the internal platform owner

  • Unique architecture role combining Salesforce + LIMS + enterprise integrations


What You’ll Do

  • Serve as the lead Salesforce architecture advisor for a Force.com-based LIMS implementation

  • Partner with the implementation vendor to review architecture, configuration, and data models

  • Ensure scalable, maintainable, and high-performing Salesforce/LIMS solutions

  • Design and guide integration strategy across enterprise systems (ERP, finance, reporting, etc.)

  • Support data migration, lifecycle management, and data integrity

  • Establish architecture governance, standards, and best practices

  • Translate complex architecture decisions into clear direction for business and executive stakeholders

  • Balance near-term delivery with long-term platform ownership and scalability

  • Transition into the internal SME and owner of the Salesforce-based LIMS platform


What You Bring

  • Proven experience as a Salesforce Solution Architect or Technical Architect

  • Deep expertise in Salesforce platform architecture (Force.com)

  • Strong experience with API-based and event-driven integrations

  • Experience guiding or overseeing vendor-led implementations

  • Background in data modeling, migration, and data quality strategy

  • Ability to collaborate across IT, business, and external partners

  • Strong communication skills with executive presence


Highly Preferred (Key Differentiator)

  • Experience with LIMS (Laboratory Information Management Systems)

  • Experience with Salesforce-native or Force.com-based platforms

  • Exposure to Third Wave Analytics Lockbox LIMSor similar LIMS solutions

  • Understanding of laboratory workflows, sample lifecycle management, or regulated systems

Note: LIMS experience doesn’t have to be exact, but candidates with Salesforce + LIMS (or similar operational platforms built on Force.com) will be strongly prioritized.


Nice to Have

  • Experience in healthcare, life sciences, or regulated environments

  • Experience integrating Salesforce with ERP or enterprise platforms

  • Salesforce certifications (Architecture, Integration, Data, etc.)


Role Details

  • Location:

    • Hybrid - Will work primarily from home

    • Must be located in the Virginia/DC/Baltimore area

    • Ability to go onsite in Leesburg, VA as needed

  • Duration: 6-month contract-to-hire

  • Compensation:

    • Contract: Pay rate negotiable based on experience

    • Conversion: ~$175K base + 10–15% annual bonus

  • Reporting to: VP (aligned to CIO organization)

  • Environment: Private equity–backed; fast-paced, high-impact


The Opportunity

This is a rare opportunity to own a Salesforce-native LIMS platform from early implementation through long-term evolution—combining architecture, integration, and operational system design in a highly visible role.

Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States without the need for current or future employer sponsorship. This position is not eligible for visa sponsorship.
