About the Role
Perficient is excited to offer a fantastic opportunity for a Salesforce Project Manager with hands-on experience in Salesforce implementations. This is your chance to join Kelley Austin, a team that takes a different approach to Salesforce Consulting-by putting employees first.

Why Kelley Austin?
We believe happy employees create outstanding results. That's why we take a proactive approach to employee satisfaction. Every team member completes a personal "Happiness List"-the top ten things that bring joy outside of work. We review these lists regularly and adjust project loads, responsibilities, or schedules to help you keep those boxes checked.

Our Salesforce + MuleSoft team helps global brands create connected, data-driven experiences that drive enterprise-wide transformation. As a Salesforce Partner and trusted MuleSoft advisor, we deliver strategic guidance, industry accelerators, and AI-powered solutions across healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, and more-unlocking the full potential of the Salesforce ecosystem.

Responsibilities

We're seeking a Salesforce Project Manager to lead client projects from kickoff to delivery. This role requires flexibility, strong communication skills, and the ability to balance structure with adaptability in dynamic environments. You'll be the bridge between clients and delivery teams-ensuring projects are well-planned, well-resourced, and executed to the highest standard.

Key Responsibilities

• Project Leadership - Manage end-to-end Salesforce implementation and enhancement projects. Act as the primary client contact, ensuring alignment with project scope, driving project governance, and facilitating decision-making.
• Project Planning & Execution - Partner with Sales and Delivery to mobilize, kickoff, manage, and close projects. Complete readiness checklists, manage scope and budget, develop project plans, and maintain documentation in Salesforce.
• Team Resourcing - Ensure projects are appropriately staffed throughout their lifecycle. Collaborate with the PM team to coordinate resources across the company.
• Risk & Stakeholder Management - Identify and mitigate risks to scope, timeline, or resources. Maintain risk/issue logs, communicate proactively with clients and leadership, and translate business needs into actionable plans.
• Client Relationships - Build strong, trusted partnerships with clients. Foster a collaborative, positive environment through clear and consistent communication.
• Quality & Delivery - Ensure solutions align with Salesforce best practices and client requirements. Oversee testing, deployment, and change management, while monitoring project performance and driving continuous improvement.

Qualifications

About You:

• You know enough about Salesforce to keep up on client calls. We're not saying you have to have it mastered (no one does), but be upfront about what you can do, can't do, and can kind of do. We want you to learn from us, and we want to learn from you.
• Ideally, you work hard and bring both energy and enthusiasm to everything you do.
• You're personable, charismatic, and can carry on a conversation with just about anyone.
• You're humble and eager to learn and grow, but also instill confidence in your team and clients.
• You care about the details and take pride in your work.

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of project management experience (3+ leading Salesforce projects a plus).
• Strong client-facing and communication skills.
• Proven ability to adapt in fast-moving, changing environments.
• Experience with Agile and/or Waterfall delivery methods.
• Bachelor's degree or commensurate experience required.
