The Opportunity
Are you a heavy-hitting Salesforce Architect who still loves getting under the hood and writing code? Do you thrive in high-growth, cutting-edge technical environments where your designs directly impact global operations?
I am currently partnering with a world-leading, fast-growth technology and scientific pioneer to source a Senior Salesforce Technical Lead / Architect. This is a newly created, highly visible "Fellow-grade" position within their business systems function, specifically designed to bridge the gap between enterprise-level architectural design and hands-on technical delivery.
If you are looking for a role that avoids corporate politics and instead focuses on engineering excellence, complex integrations, and genuine technical ownership, this is it.
Key Responsibilities
- Architect & Deliver: Lead the high-level platform design and technical architecture of a global Salesforce estate, while remaining hands-on with customisation, data modelling, and low-level development.
- Complex Integrations: Act as the technical lead on business-critical integrations, specifically spearheading major initiatives involving Seismic and Salesforce CPQ.
- Clean Code & DevOps: Drive development best practices utilising Apex and LWC, ensuring robust deployment pipelines and technical excellence across a mixed permanent/contract delivery team.
- Stakeholder Interfacing: Act as the technical translator between senior business leaders (including C-suite stakeholders) and developers, driving change and cascading technical workloads seamlessly.
What My Client Is Looking For
- The Hybrid Sweet Spot: A proven track record as a Salesforce Architect or Technical Lead who is completely comfortable rolling up their sleeves to design and build solutions.
- Technical Mastery: Deep proficiency in Apex, Lightning Web Components (LWC), advanced data modelling, and modern DevOps tools.
- Integration Expertise: Prior experience delivering complex ecosystem integrations; hands-on exposure to Seismic, CPQ, or RCA platforms is highly desirable.
- Exceptional Communication: Brilliant English communication and interpersonal skills. You must be able to confidently guide technical teams and interface with challenging stakeholder groups.
- Location & Commitment: Ability to commute to the office near Oxford one day per week (fixed on Wednesdays). Please note: Fully remote models cannot be supported for this position.
What's in it for you?
My client offers an exceptional, wealth-generating compensation package that reflects the high bar they set for talent:
- A competitive base salary of up to £120,000 + guaranteed bonus.
- 7% annual free share allocations, giving you true equity and a slice of the company's incredible global growth.
- Comprehensive private healthcare, strong pension contributions, and potential sign-on or relocation support for the right candidate.
