Salesforce Technical Architect

Based in Oxford, you will join the specialist Engineering team within Internal Technology as the in-house technical authority for Salesforce, the platform underpinning Aurora's commercial and client-facing processes. You will take end-to-end technical ownership of the platform and its integrations, setting the technical direction and ensuring Salesforce scales cleanly with a rapidly growing global business.

Salesforce is a Tier 1 system at Aurora, spanning Sales Cloud, Account Engagement (Pardot), Revenue Cloud / CPQ, and a growing set of integrations into the wider enterprise estate. This role provides the senior technical capability to move the platform from day-to-day administration towards a well-architected, well-governed system.

In this role, you will translate business requirements into scalable, maintainable solutions, making the key architecture, build-versus-configure, and declarative-versus-code decisions. You will be responsible for representing your architectural decisions through review processes and aligning with the overall architectural direction of the Head of Architecture and Engineering. You will work in tandem with the Commercial and Advisory Systems Managers, who own the business partnering relationship and roadmap for their departments' use of the system; you will be the technical counterpart who turns those priorities into sound platform architecture and delivery, challenging assumptions and surfacing risk where needed.

The successful candidate will combine deep, hands-on Salesforce engineering with the architectural judgement to own the platform within a broader enterprise systems landscape. You will mentor more junior administrators, act as the escalation point for complex technical issues, and help raise the overall technical capability of the team.
