About the Role (your why)
As a Senior Technical Consultant - Salesforce, you will provide technical leadership across Salesforce platform delivery, solution design, integration, automation, and operational excellence. Working closely with customers, project teams, and business stakeholders, you will design, develop, and optimise Salesforce solutions that help organisations achieve their strategic objectives. This role combines hands-on Salesforce expertise with leadership, consulting, and solution architecture responsibilities, ensuring platforms remain secure, scalable, and aligned to business needs while supporting long-term digital transformation outcomes.

Our offices are based in Wellington. We like to bring people together in person when we can, but we are mindful of the benefits of working from home for work/ life balance. We therefore leave it to you and the team you join to figure out what works best!
