Lead the architecture. Shape the platform. Make a lasting impact.

We’re looking for an experienced Salesforce Technical Lead to take ownership of the technical direction and long-term evolution of a complex Salesforce environment.

This is a senior-level opportunity for someone who enjoys operating at the intersection of architecture, development, integration and technical leadership. You’ll be the technical authority for Salesforce, helping shape how the platform evolves while ensuring solutions are scalable, secure, resilient and built for the long term.

You’ll work across major transformation programmes as well as ongoing platform improvements, partnering closely with internal technical teams, business stakeholders and external delivery partners.

What you’ll be doing

• Own and govern the end-to-end Salesforce technical architecture.
• Design and oversee both high and low level designs across major programmes, projects and BAU enhancements.
• Provide technical direction across complex Salesforce solutions and act as the senior escalation point for challenging architectural decisions.
• Lead the design of complex Salesforce integrations, including APIs, middleware, event-driven architecture and data synchronisation.
• Work with technical leads across wider business platforms to ensure seamless, scalable end-to-end solutions.
• Act as main point of contact to external stakeholders, ensuring scalable and efficient solutions and managing the project deliverables.
• Provide independent technical oversight of internal teams and third-party delivery partners, challenging designs where necessary.
• Identify and manage technical debt, architectural risk and platform scalability.
• Own and continuously improve Salesforce DevOps, CI/CD and release management processes.
• Establish strong design governance while protecting platform stability, security and data integrity.
• Help shape the platform roadmap across short-, medium- and long-term horizons.

You’ll be a highly experienced Salesforce professional who has developed from a strong hands-on development background into architecture and technical leadership.

You’ll ideally bring:

• Significant experience in Salesforce architecture and hands-on development.
• Strong development expertise across Apex, LWC, integrations, data modelling and security.
• Proven experience producing HLDs and LLDs.
• Strong experience designing and implementing complex Salesforce integrations.
• Excellent understanding of enterprise integration patterns and system interoperability.
• Experience implementing and maintaining Salesforce CI/CD pipelines and DevOps processes.
• Experience operating as a senior technical authority across multiple concurrent programmes.
• Experience working with third-party Salesforce partners and delivery teams.
• Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills, including at senior/peer level.
• The ability to make complex technical decisions while balancing architectural quality with practical delivery.
• Platform Developer II, Application Architect or System Architect - Highly preferred

It would be particularly beneficial if you have experience with:

• Salesforce Revenue Cloud Advanced (RCA) / Revenue Lifecycle Management / CPQ
• Amazon Connect or other contact-centre/telephony integrations
• Omni-channel architectures
• Enterprise architecture frameworks
• Global or multi-entity Salesforce environments
• Technical governance and platform standards

Why this role?

This isn’t simply a role focused on keeping the Salesforce platform running.

You’ll have the opportunity to shape the architecture, influence major technology decisions and establish the standards that will underpin the platform for years to come.

If you’re someone who combines deep Salesforce technical expertise with architectural thinking, strong judgement and the ability to bring people with you, this could be an excellent opportunity to take your impact to the next level.
