Salesforce Tech Lead

Group Salesforce Technical Lead (Package-Based Development) - Permanent

Salary: £85,000 - £100,000 + bonus
Location: Hybrid (Surrey) - circa 2 days per week onsite
Level: Senior Technical Lead/Lead Developer

A global organisation is hiring a Group Salesforce Technical Lead to play a key role in the technical delivery and governance of its enterprise Front Office Salesforce platform.

A major focus of this programme is the move toward package-based development, creating reusable Salesforce capabilities delivered via managed packages that can be deployed consistently across multiple Salesforce orgs and regions. This role will be central to ensuring the managed package strategy is technically robust, scalable, and adopted correctly by delivery partners and regional teams.

While the primary emphasis is global standardisation and scalable rollout, the role will also support localisation requirements (circa 20%), ensuring regional variations are delivered through approved patterns without compromising platform integrity.

This is a hands-on technical leadership role, ideal for an experienced Salesforce developer/tech lead who can drive standards, mentor engineers, and influence senior stakeholders in a complex enterprise environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide technical leadership across the Salesforce Front Office platform, ensuring delivery meets agreed architectural standards.
• Play a key role in the design and rollout of a managed package/package-based development strategy, enabling consistent capability deployment across multiple business units and geographies.
• Ensure local teams and SI partners build on top of the managed package in a controlled and scalable way, challenging deviations and escalating risks where required.
• Support localisation initiatives (circa 20%), ensuring regional requirements are delivered without introducing unnecessary technical debt or divergence from the global model.
• Drive solution design recommendations through governance and architecture forums.
• Guide and mentor developers, supporting technical decision-making and best practice implementation.
• Contribute to DevOps practices including CI/CD, source control, and release management.
• Support integration design across enterprise systems (ERP, telephony, marketing platforms, third parties).
• Apply and uphold global development standards and technical guardrails.
• Identify, manage, and reduce technical debt to ensure long-term maintainability.
• Produce and maintain technical documentation including design decisions and delivery standards.

Required Experience

• 8+ years Salesforce platform experience.
• 3+ years in a Senior Developer/Technical Lead/Development Lead role.
• Proven experience delivering complex, multi-cloud Salesforce implementations.
• Strong hands-on development experience including:
  • Apex
  • Lightning Web Components (LWC)
  • Integration patterns (REST, SOAP, Platform Events)
  • Salesforce security, sharing models and role hierarchies
• Strong experience with DevOps tooling and modern development practices:
  • SFDX/Git-based workflows
  • CI/CD pipelines
  • Code quality tools (PMD, CodeScan etc.)
• Experience working with or influencing System Integrators/external delivery partners.
• Strong technical judgement and ability to operate under delivery pressure in a matrixed environment.
• Experience balancing global platform standards with regional business requirements.

Highly Desirable Experience

• Strong experience with source-driven and package-based development, including managed packages and deployment across multiple orgs.
• Experience supporting global rollout models where regional teams extend a core platform solution.
• Exposure to enterprise integration platforms (MuleSoft preferred).
• Marketing Cloud knowledge (Journeys, Contact Builder, integrations).
• Field Service configuration knowledge (scheduling policies, optimisation).
• Experience Cloud authentication models (eg Okta).
