Salesforce Platform Lead
Sparta Global are hiring a Salesforce Platform Lead to establish and lead a UK-based Salesforce platform team that can own, operate, and evolve Salesforce as a strategic capability, moving beyond pure configuration into integration, automation, and DevOps-aligned delivery.
This role will be hired to be deployed into a world-leading insurance provider.
Key Responsibilities:
- Own the technical and operational health of the Salesforce platform, including administration, incident management, and lifecycle management (environments, data, access, GDPR considerations).
- Act as the technical authority for Salesforce configuration, development, and integrations, ensuring solutions are robust, scalable, and aligned to wider company architecture.
- Introduce and embed modern engineering and DevOps practices within the Salesforce team (e.g. version control, CI/CD, automated testing, release management).
- Lead the transition from low-code / functional configuration towards more integrated and automation-enabled Salesforce use cases (including future adoption of Agentforce).
- Coach and mentor redeployed internal staff (functional consultants, IT ops profiles) to accelerate their transition into effective Salesforce platform engineers.
- Partner with adjacent teams (automation, platform/DevOps, data) to ensure Salesforce integrates seamlessly into the wider Microsoft and Azure ecosystem.
- Act as a capability hub for Salesforce across the UK market unit, enabling self-service and reducing dependency on centralised ops teams.
- Provide technical input into backlog prioritisation and roadmap planning, aligning delivery to business outcomes rather than pure BAU support
