A small to medium size company with 55 employees in a really cool business sector is looking for a long term consultant to help guide us through the Salesforce and IT maze.  The consultant will work a prenegotiated number of hours per month providing:

1) IT Vision and Strategy (This part is really important).

2) Direction and QC to an inexperienced Salesforce developer employed here.  This will mean you won't have to do all the programming grunt work.

3) Vendor selection and oversight of a server maintenance vendor (we can't do everything in the cloud - at least we don't think so...).

4) Employee training and communication, both of new features to existing employees, and existing features to new employees.

We are looking for someone with a talent for understanding business processes, not just software.  We are looking for someone who can articulate and communicate, not just mumble technical jargon.  We are looking for someone who is willing to teach and share their expertise, not just create black boxes.

We are a growing company that sells information, not products.  We have three offices in the US but our preference is for the consultant to be based in Southern California.  Again, we are not looking for a short term relationship but someone who will guide us over the long term.  If this is of interest to you please reply here with your contact details and we will get in touch.  No recruiters please.
