Key Responsibilities:

• Architect and optimize our Slack Enterprise Grid topology, ensuring the workspace structure aligns with business units, security boundaries, and scaling needs.
• Design and govern the integration pipeline. You will lead the development of custom Slack apps using the Slack Bolt framework and Next-Gen platform (Deno/CLI).
• Champion the use of Slack Workflow Builder and custom integrations to automate cross-functional business processes (e.g., IT ticketing, HR onboarding, DevOps alerts).
• Implement and maintain enterprise-grade security controls, including Enterprise Key Management (EKM), Data Loss Prevention (DLP), eDiscovery, and Information Barriers.
• Define and enforce global governance policies for workspace creation, app approvals, guest access, and retention policies.
• Architect a secure strategy for Slack Connect, managing shared channels and multi-workspace networks with external partners and vendors.
• Act as the primary technical point of contact with Slack/Salesforce engineering and product teams to influence the platform roadmap.
• Guide a team of Slack administrators and engineers, establishing best practices for code deployment, CI/CD pipelines for apps, and platform health.
