• Location: Oxford area (Hybrid - 1 day per week on-site, Wednesdays fixed)
• Salary: Up to £120,000 base + Bonus + Free Annual Shares + Strong Benefits

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.
