About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Operate as a hybrid Tech Lead and Scrum Master, owning and running the Daily Standup as the team's delivery control point, ensuring blockers, dependencies, decisions, and next actions are visible every day.
Balance sprint execution, facilitation, and impediment removal with hands-on technical leadership - building Proof of Concepts, de-risking complex Salesforce, MuleSoft, Agentic AI, voice, and NICE integration patterns, and pairing with developers to debug difficult issues.
Unblock and align MuleSoft developers during sprints by defining and enforcing API contracts and data handshakes between Salesforce and MuleSoft, keeping both development streams synchronised.
Lead technical delivery for the Service PDO across the IMG region, supporting the post-sales customer lifecycle, call centre operations, dealership service processes, booking flows, and case management.
Support delivery of cutting-edge Agentic and AI-enabled service solutions, including Salesforce voice assistants, AI booking agents, Service Cloud Voice, Agentforce capabilities, and NICE integrations.
Actively participate in the Design Authority, championing a low-code/no-code approach and ensuring declarative Salesforce capabilities are fully considered before custom code is introduced.
Enforce strong peer review, clear technical standards, and maintainable solution patterns across Salesforce and MuleSoft delivery to prevent poor-quality code or configuration reaching production.
Proactively audit existing Salesforce capabilities and entitlements to maximise value from current licences and provide informed recommendations on strategic new purchases where there's a clear business case.
Coach and unblock Salesforce Developers, MuleSoft Developers, and Business Analysts through pairing, design walkthroughs, and delivery-focused mentoring.
Partner with Business Analysts before sprint planning to ensure user stories meet the Definition of Ready, improving sprint predictability and reducing rework.
