• Act as the technical authority for FSC data modelling, including Person Accounts, households, relationship groups, rollups and compliant data sharing, etc.
• Design and govern integrations between Salesforce and downstream/upstream systems using modern API‑led and event‑driven patterns.
• Provide technical leadership during the transformation programme, working alongside a delivery partner and ensuring effective knowledge transfer to the in‑house team.
• Establish and enforce CI/CD, environment and release management standards using Copado, ensuring quality, traceability and auditability.
• Mentor and coach Salesforce Developers/Application Engineers, providing code reviews, design guidance and technical escalation.
• Partner closely with the Product team to shape delivery roadmaps, manage technical risk and prioritise platform improvements.
• Ensure platform solutions support long‑term operational sustainability.
• Lead AI‑native SDLC working practices within the Salesforce development process, using agentic coding practices to improve throughput and stability of the delivery system end‑to‑end.
