Job description

About this role

Join Hire Hangar and work with fast-growing global companies while building a long-term career. Job Title Salesforce Platform Lead – Multi-Cloud CRM Architect & Implementation Specialist We are looking for a Salesforce Platform Lead to drive the strategy, architecture, and hands-on delivery of our Salesforce environment. This is a senior individual contributor role for someone who has owned complex multi-cloud ecosystems, led enterprise implementations end-to-end, and is equally comfortable in a boardroom conversation as they are in a setup menu. If you need to be told what to do next, this is not the role for you — we want someone who sees gaps before they become problems.

Responsibilities

  • Take end-to-end ownership of Salesforce platform architecture, configuration, and ongoing optimisation
  • Design and deliver solutions across multiple clouds including Data Cloud, Marketing Cloud, Agentforce, Service Cloud, and/or Voice
  • Lead large-scale CRM implementations, ensuring delivery is on time, on scope, and built to scale
  • Act as the primary Salesforce point of contact for internal stakeholders and cross-functional teams
  • Drive automation, workflow design, and integration architecture across business units
  • Ensure data integrity, platform security, and compliance with internal IT and MDM policies
  • Champion Salesforce best practices and maintain up-to-date documentation and change management records
  • Proactively identify platform gaps and propose solutions before issues escalate

Qualifications and requirements

  • 5+ years of hands-on Salesforce experience in enterprise or mid-to-large scale business environments
  • Multi-cloud expertise across at least 2–3 of: Data Cloud, Marketing Cloud, Agentforce, Service Cloud, Voice
  • Track record of successfully delivering large, complex Salesforce implementations — not just maintenance or small-business support
  • Proven ability to self-direct, prioritise, and deliver outcomes without micromanagement
  • Salesforce Administrator certification required; platform-specific certifications a strong plus
  • Clear, professional communication skills — written and verbal — with the ability to manage stakeholder expectations at all levels
  • prior remote work experience, be fluent with remote collaboration tools and platforms (such as Slack, Zoom, Google Workspace, Asana, or similar), and have ideally worked with US or UK-based companies. Applications without this experience will not be considered.
  • MDM/endpoint compliance awareness and familiarity with IT security frameworks
  • Experience operating within environments with strict data governance or compliance requirements
  • Exposure to Salesforce CPQ, Revenue Cloud, or Experience Cloud
  • Prior experience in a platform lead, senior admin, or Salesforce architect capacity
  • Salesforce (Data Cloud, Marketing Cloud, Agentforce, Service Cloud, Voice)
  • Salesforce Flow, automation tools, and declarative development
  • Slack, Zoom, and remote collaboration platforms
