Role Overview
We are seeking a senior, technically capable Project Manager to join a newly formed delivery function working across Salesforce-led systems, AI-enabled products, and enterprise integrations.
This is a hands-on delivery role in a fast-paced, evolving environment with a large volume of initiatives and limited established governance. The successful candidate will be comfortable operating with ambiguity, raising delivery standards, and driving outcomes without constant direction.
This role focuses on applications and systems delivery, not infrastructure.
Key Responsibilities
- Deliver end-to-end technical systems and software projects, primarily Salesforce-based
- Lead initiatives across Salesforce configuration, customisation, and integration (Apex, workflows, admin changes)
- Manage discovery, design, and delivery phases (not a pure Azure DevOps execution role)
- Deliver AI-enabled solutions, including lead management and customer data platforms integrated with Salesforce
- Work closely with:
- In-house developers (8–10)
- Salesforce product specialists
- Data teams, Business Analysts, and QAs
- Bring structure and clarity to a delivery environment where processes are still being defined
- Support prioritisation across a large and complex demand pipeline (200+ initiatives)
Technical Environment
- Salesforce (core platform – ~80% of work)
- Azure DevOps and Jira
- SAP integrations and marketing systems
- AI-enabled applications and third-party data integrations
- In-house development, data, and product teams
Required Experience
- Senior Technical Project Manager background
- Strong experience delivering Salesforce and CRM-based systems
- Proven track record delivering software and systems projects (not infrastructure)
- Comfortable working directly with developers, product specialists, BAs, and QAs
- Experience managing discovery and design phases
- Able to operate effectively in ambiguous, fast-moving environments
- Private sector experience strongly preferred
Personal Attributes
- Highly independent and self-starting
- Able to pick up complex environments quickly
- Comfortable working with imperfect information
- Strong communicator who brings clarity and momentum
- High attention to detail and quality of output
- Confident operating under pressure and raising delivery standards
Ways of Working
- Small, close-knit delivery teams
- Partially agile (sprints in place, but not fully mature)
- Governance and delivery frameworks still being established
- No budget ownership; delivery managed via CapEx
Interview Process
- Initial CV review
- First-stage interview (online)
- Second-stage interview (face-to-face)
- Task-based assessment to test quality and accuracy of work
- Short online behavioural questionnaire to assess ways of working and delivery style
