Lead Salesforce Technical Consultant

Lead Salesforce Technical Consultant

A consultative technical lead. You'll sit with the client, shape the solution, and then build it. Flow-first, Apex when it counts.

What you'll do

Consult and shape. Lead discovery workshops and stakeholder sessions. Get to the requirement behind the request. Present solution options, make recommendations, and act as a trusted advisor on platform capability and approach.

Design the solution. Own end-to-end architecture across the platform — data model, automation, security, integrations — and produce the documentation that goes with it: user stories, acceptance criteria, process maps, data models and technical design specs. Make the technical calls, including when Flow is right and when Apex is.

Stay hands-on. Build advanced Flows (record-triggered before and after save, screen, scheduled, async), write production Apex — classes, triggers, async processing, test classes — and extend UX with LWC. Review existing automation and code and recommend improvements.

Configure the platform. Objects, fields, validation rules, Lightning pages, security and sharing, reports and dashboards — applying reusable, maintainable design and Salesforce security and sharing best practices.

Lead delivery. Own delivery end to end — quality, timelines and functional requirements — and manage the risks, dependencies and blockers that come with it. Run backlog refinement, sprint planning and solution reviews. Set and enforce delivery standards: naming conventions, documentation, source control and deployment practice. Mentor consultants and analysts, and ensure testing covers both declarative and programmatic components.
