LOVALTO
Company / Careers

The person who scopes your project is the person who builds it.

LOVALTO is a boutique Salesforce consultancy staffed entirely by senior practitioners. No pyramid, no offshore handoff, no learning on the client's dime.

Why we exist

We built the opposite of what we left.

We started LOVALTO after years of watching large firms sell senior expertise and staff junior delivery. A partner wins the work, an architect scopes it, and then a team of people two years out of school builds it while the client pays partner rates for the privilege.

That model is good for the firm and bad for everyone else. Every LOVALTO engagement is delivered by someone with the experience to own it end to end, and the client talks to that person directly.

It means we grow slowly and we say no to work we cannot staff properly. We think that is the right trade.

How the firm operates
How we work

Four things that are actually true here.

  1. Senior only

    If you are on an engagement, you have the standing to make architectural decisions and defend them. We do not have a delivery pyramid to feed.

  2. Direct client ownership

    You run the relationship. There is no project manager relaying your opinions to the person who needs to hear them.

  3. Scope honesty

    We flag unscoped risk in writing before it becomes a change order fight. It costs us revenue sometimes. It is why clients come back.

  4. No bench pressure

    We do not need anyone billing 40 hours a week to justify their existence. We need engagements delivered well.

Open roles

Two conversations we want to be having.

We hire slowly and mostly from people we have already talked to. Both of these are open now.

Solution Architect

Independent contractor (1099) · Remote, U.S.

$110 to $135 / hr

We are building a bench of independent Solution Architects ahead of demand. To be straight with you: we do not have a project waiting today. We expect to, and we would rather have the conversation now than scramble later. If you are between engagements or open to picking up additional work, we want to talk.

The work

You would own architecture and delivery on discrete workstreams: discovery, solution design, technical leadership through build, and the client relationship that goes with it. Mostly Sales Cloud and Service Cloud, with a bias toward custom data models over managed packages. Occasional white-label delivery under a partner firm's brand.

What we are looking for

  • 6+ years in the Salesforce ecosystem, at least 3 as an architect or technical lead
  • Full-lifecycle ownership. You have been the one accountable, not one of twelve people on a project
  • Deep Sales Cloud and/or Service Cloud
  • Apex, LWC, SOQL, and Flow fluency
  • Integration architecture: REST and SOAP, middleware, event-driven patterns
  • Architect-level certifications, or the domain certifications beneath them
  • The ability to be in front of a VP without a principal in the room

Data Cloud, Agentforce, MuleSoft, or a financial services background is a plus.

Terms

True 1099. You control your schedule and methods, carry your own insurance, and are free to serve other clients. Master Services Agreement plus per-engagement SOWs. We pay net 15 on approved invoices and do not hold contractor payment hostage to client payment timing.

Apply for this role

Business Operations & Marketing Intern

Paid, part-time · Remote, U.S. · 12 weeks

$20 to $25 / hr

Running a boutique firm well takes a lot of work that nobody bills for: the blog, the newsletter, the proposals, the invoices, the research behind a pitch. Right now the architects do it, usually at night, usually later than they should. We would rather hand it to someone who owns it properly.

This role is not client delivery. It is the operating side of the business, and you would see all of it, because there is no layer between you and the people running the firm.

The work

  • Marketing production: blog posts and the newsletter, from draft through publish, plus LinkedIn
  • Keeping the site honest. Copy, resource pages, SEO metadata, and checking what actually ranks
  • Business operations: ticket hygiene, time-entry review, invoice prep, and chasing the loose ends
  • Proposal and SOW assembly from the architects' notes
  • Prospect, market, and competitor research that feeds real pitches
  • Keeping our own Salesforce org clean, which is also the least painful way to learn Salesforce

What we are looking for

  • Currently enrolled in, or recently finished, a degree or certificate program. Marketing, business, and communications are the obvious fits, but we care more about the person
  • You write clearly. This is the one that matters most, and it is the one most people underrate
  • Comfortable in a spreadsheet, and curious about what is behind the numbers rather than just formatting them
  • Organized enough to own a recurring process without being reminded it is Tuesday
  • Comfortable being told you are wrong, and quick to ask before guessing

Salesforce experience is not required and not expected. You will pick it up here, and we will pay for the Administrator certification if you want it.

Terms

Roughly 15 to 20 hours per week over a 12 week term, scheduled around your classes. Paid hourly, W-2. If the work is good and we have the volume, we would rather keep you than start over.

Apply for this role

General interest

Do not see a fit? We would still like to know you.

We hire slowly and mostly from people we have already talked to. If you are a senior Salesforce practitioner and the way we work sounds like the way you want to work, send us a note. When something opens, we start with the people we know.

Send us a note

How to apply

Four things, one email.

  1. A résumé or LinkedIn profile
  2. Your Trailhead profile URL
  3. Your target rate and availability
  4. A few sentences about an architecture decision you would still defend today

Send it to careers@lovalto.com. Applying for the internship: skip the Trailhead profile and the rate, and instead send a short piece of writing you are happy with. A paper, a post, a newsletter, anything. We care how you write more than what it was about.

What happens next

A 30 minute conversation with a principal, then a longer technical and architectural discussion, then references. We move in under two weeks.

LOVALTO LLC is an equal opportunity organization. We evaluate candidates and contractors on capability and fit, without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or any other protected characteristic.

Looking for a consultant, not a job?

You will be talking directly with the architects who design and deliver the work. We respond within 4 business hours.
