Job description

Shape the future of Salesforce at Love2shop

We typically work on a hybrid basis with one day per week in our Liverpool office, although we're happy to be flexible for the right candidate.

At Love2shop, we're investing heavily in Salesforce as a core strategic platform and expect it to become the long-term ecosystem that underpins many of our customer, operational and business processes. As a hands on Salesforce Technical Lead, you'll play a key role in that journey, helping to design, build and evolve solutions that support the growth of one of the UK's leading reward and benefits businesses.

This is more than a development role. You'll help define how Salesforce is used across the organisation, influence platform strategy, deliver complex integrations, and provide technical leadership within the team. You'll also support and mentor junior colleagues, helping to develop capability and champion Salesforce best practice across the business.

Working closely with Product Owners, Engineers and business stakeholders, you'll be responsible for delivering scalable, secure and high-performing Salesforce solutions that create real business value while supporting our wider digital transformation ambitions.

What you’ll be doing

• Designing, developing and optimising Salesforce solutions using Apex, Lightning Web Components and declarative tools.
• Building and enhancing integrations between Salesforce and internal and third-party platforms using APIs, middleware and ETL technologies.
• Translating business requirements into scalable technical solutions.
• Supporting the ongoing evolution of our Salesforce platform and wider ecosystem.
• Providing technical leadership, mentoring and day-to-day guidance to other team members.
• Contributing to release management, deployment activities and engineering best practices.
• Ensuring high standards of security, compliance, data integrity and platform performance.
• Working collaboratively within Agile delivery teams to deliver business-critical initiatives.

What we would like from you

• Salesforce Administrator certification (ADM-201) and Platform App Builder
• Proven experience in Salesforce development and engineering, including Apex, Lightning Web Components, and declarative tools.
• Hands-on experience with integrations (REST/SOAP APIs, middleware, ETL tools).
• Strong understanding of the Salesforce platform, security model, and performance optimisation.
• Desirable: Experience with Marketing Cloud, Azure services, and data pipelines.

Our benefits if you decide to join us

• 25 days holiday per year + bank holidays. Option to purchase further holidays
• Company pension scheme
• Electric Vehicle scheme
• Staff Everyday Benefits card offering discounts with multiple retailers (10%)
• Life Assurance - optional cover
