As a Salesforce Platform Architect, you'll play a pivotal role in safeguarding and evolving our Salesforce platform post-migration, supporting the transition from transformation into a stable, business as usual state. You'll be responsible for iterating and maintaining the Salesforce platform architecture, ensuring it remains secure, scalable, and well-integrated in line with Cancer Research UK's strategy. This will involve lower level design, development, and configuration, while shaping top level solutions and governance. This is an opportunity to collaborate closely with a cross disciplinary technology function and external partners, providing technical leadership, standards, and oversight to ensure solutions are fit for purpose, while building organisational capability through coaching, architectural guidance, and the establishment of a Salesforce Centre of Excellence. If you're a Salesforce Architect who has maintained, developed, or implemented Salesforce in a large, complex organisation, we would love for you to join our mission. What will I be doing? Defining and maintaining the Salesforce platform architecture by: Delivering end-to-end, secure, and integrated solutions aligned to Cancer Research UK's strategy. Providing technical leadership, standards and governance across teams. Ensuring solutions are fit for purpose and support the wider architecture capability through expert guidance, coaching, and architectural oversight. Defining guidelines for platform usage, customisation, and integration to ensure consistent, secure, and scalable use of Salesforce across the organisation. Ensuring the scalability, performance, and reliability of the Salesforce platform meet the charity's current and future operational and strategic needs. Designing quality, scalable, and performant Salesforce solutions to ensure all components fit together into a coherent, maintainable, and business-aligned architecture. Translating business requirements into high-level and low-level technical designs, enabling delivery teams to build effective low-code or pro-code solutions. Overseeing the implementation of new platform features, modules, and enhancements, ensuring they align with architectural standards and deliver business value. Building and guiding the creation of proofs of concept to validate solution options and accelerate innovation within delivery teams. Designing and overseeing Salesforce data integrations, ensuring data quality, integrity, and reliable information exchange across connected systems. Providing technical leadership across Engineering, Analysis, and Architecture communities to reduce technical risk, manage technical debt, and develop a Salesforce Centre of Excellence. What skills will I need? An experienced Architect who has a strong knowledge of Salesforce architecture and platform within large organisations (this can be either maintaining, developing, or implementing Salesforce). Rather than focusing on building solutions, this role has responsibility across the Salesforce platform. We're looking for someone with strong Salesforce skills and knowledge to: Deliver both lower level design, development, and technical configuration, as well as top-level solutions. Ensure partners meet organisational and Salesforce requirements and standards (e.g. attending governance workshops and challenging build approaches, use of out of the box functionality, and modular design). Strong architectural thinking with exposure to a Salesforce platform that integrates with multiple platforms/ products. Demonstrable understanding of the following Salesforce features: Accounting soft ledger, Sales Cloud, and Service Cloud. Knowledge of Findock would be advantageous, but is not essential. Proven knowledge of Salesforce security and governance best practices, with experience conducting impact assessments. A successful track record of building credible and collaborative internal and external stakeholder relationships with strong interpersonal, communication, influencing, and negotiating skills. Experience coaching others, guiding technical decisions and architectural direction to support the development of Salesforce capability across teams and third party partners. Experience delivering architecture through Agile Product teams (e.g., Scrum, Kanban, SAFe, Lean). Strong analytical thinking and problem-solving skills. Our organisation values are designed to guide all that we do. Bold: Act with ambition, courage and determination Credible: Act with rigour and professionalism Human: Act to have a positive impact on people Together: Act inclusively and collaboratively We're looking for people who can believe in and embody these organisation values and can use them to drive forward progress against our mission to beat cancer.
