Salesforce Delivery Lead
As our Salesforce Delivery Lead, you will take end-to-end ownership of the Salesforce platform lifecycle. You aren't just managing tasks; you are a strategic orchestrator, leading high-performing squads of Architects, Developers, and Admins to translate complex business needs into scalable, "clicks-before-code" solutions. You will be the bridge between technical execution and business strategy, ensuring our Salesforce environment remains robust, efficient, and future-ready.
Day to day you will:
- Lead the full project lifecycle from conceptualisation to execution, ensuring clear accountability and high-quality delivery of Salesforce features.
- Facilitate quarterly planning and manage Agile ceremonies across multiple squads to ensure predictable sprint execution and accurate estimations.
- Define and refine delivery standards and "Ways of Working" to foster a culture of high performance, efficiency, and continuous improvement.
- Empower and mentor a diverse team of Salesforce professionals, acting as a servant leader to unblock technical or process-related impediments.
- Oversee complex release cycles, CI/CD pipelines, and environment management (Sandboxes/Scratch Orgs) while balancing project budgets and timelines.
- Act as a strategic partner to business leaders, managing expectations and providing transparent updates on project health and platform roadmaps.
Qualifications
What you’ll bring:
- Extensive experience leading Salesforce delivery teams and managing the full project lifecycle in both Agile and Waterfall environments.
- A deep understanding of Salesforce best practices, platform health, and the "clicks-before-code" philosophy.
- Strong ability to develop roadmaps, manage resource allocation, and navigate inter-team dependencies.
- Expert knowledge of Agile principles, release governance, and CI/CD strategies to ensure stable production deployments.
- The ability to influence senior stakeholders and coach technical teams toward excellence and professional growth.
