Household name, millions of customers across TV, broadband, mobile and connectivity products. They are standing up a new Salesforce platform and this role comes in at the onset, so there is genuine scope to shape architecture, standards and direction rather than inherit them. Large estate, serious engineering culture, and a Salesforce community that already spans multiple product domains. THE ROLE, SALESFORCE TECHNICAL ARCHITECT Hands on senior role owning technical design and delivery across the Salesforce ecosystem, spanning Sales, Service, Communications, Experience and Marketing Clouds. The core challenge is Comms Cloud at telco scale. Product catalogue, quoting, contract lifecycle and order management all have to work together across a complex product set, and they have to perform. You will lead the technical analysis and design, lean on out of the box capability first, and customise only where it earns its place. You will also be the person the developer community looks to for direction, setting engineering standards as the platform and the team grow. WHAT THEY MEAN BY ARCHITECT Worth being direct about this because it shapes who they want to speak to.They want someone still close to the build. Not someone who chairs governance forums and reviews a partner's design documents, but someone who can design the solution, get into the org, and show a team how it should be done.The stakeholder side is equally real. You will be presenting and defending technical direction to directors and business leaders, so this is not a role for someone who only speaks engineer.
