• Work closely with the Salesforce Business Analyst to translate requirements into technical designs and build plans.
• Contribute to development across areas such as admissions, recruitment, student lifecycle processes, and operational workflows.
• Carry out impact analysis to ensure changes align with existing architecture, integrations, and data models.
• Act as a technical escalation point for complex issues relating to automation, permissions, data integrity, and system behaviour.
• Support deployment and release processes, including testing, code reviews, and platform monitoring.
• Provide technical guidance to administrators, support teams, and stakeholders on best practice usage.
• Help improve development standards, documentation, and ways of working across the Salesforce environment.
• Work collaboratively with internal developers, analysts, IT teams, and product owners across the University.

• Experience designing and building Salesforce solutions using Apex, Lightning Web Components (or Aura), and declarative tools such as Flows.
• Strong understanding of Salesforce data models, security, and sharing architecture.
• Ability to debug and resolve complex platform issues.
• Experience working with version control and structured deployment practices.
• Clear and confident communication skills, with the ability to work effectively with both technical and non technical colleagues.
