Salesforce Implementation Specialist in Barnsley

Sheffield City Centre (office-based and hybrid)

Salary: £60,000 - £75,000

UniHomes is hiring a Salesforce Implementation Specialist to own the design integrity of our Salesforce platform as we scale into a heavier Agentforce and AI‑led operating model. Reporting to the Head of CRM, you will be the senior technical voice on the team - setting the architecture, designing integrations, governing releases and mentoring our Salesforce Administrators. This is not a hand‑coding role; the team uses configuration and Cursor‑assisted development for build, and we need your judgement on what gets built, how, and why.

Key responsibilities:

• Own solution architecture across Sales Cloud, Service Cloud and Agentforce - from data model to security model to integration topology.
• Design integrations between Salesforce and the rest of our stack (finance, marketing, product, data platform).
• Govern releases: own the release process, branching strategy, code review and deployment pipeline.
• Review and quality‑assure Cursor‑assisted development output before it reaches production.
• Mentor our Salesforce Administrators, raising the bar on declarative build standards.
• Partner with others on agent design, governance and the underlying Salesforce footprint that supports them.
• Be the senior technical face of CRM to the wider business - engineering, product, data and security.

Skills and experience:

• Proven experience as a hands‑on Salesforce developer earlier in your career - Apex, Lightning Web Components and integration work - followed by progression into architecture.
• Salesforce Application Architect or System Architect certifications (or actively working towards them).
• Deep working knowledge of data modelling, sharing and security models, and integration patterns (REST/SOAP, platform events, middleware).
• Experience leading release governance and review of work produced by others, including by AI‑assisted tooling.
• Strong communication skills - comfortable translating between business stakeholders, administrators and engineers.
• Comfortable in a fast‑moving, SME environment where pragmatism beats perfection.

Desirable:

• Experience with Agentforce, Einstein and the broader Salesforce AI stack.
• Background in marketplaces, lettings, utilities or consumer‑facing platforms.
• Exposure to AWS and modern data platforms.
