About the Role
This position supports the execution engine for technology and automation within Partner Care. Working directly alongside our Principal Technical Consultant, this role bridges the gap between high-level technological vision and rapid, hands-on optimization across Salesforce Service Cloud and central enterprise automation platforms.
Responsibilities
- Serve as an expert and functional backup for our Salesforce Service Cloud platform, translating day-to-day operational frictions into configured CRM enhancements.
- Utilise advanced CRM capabilities, taking hands-on responsibility for configuring page layouts, validation rules, user views, and robust Salesforce Flows.
- Drive the deployment of the Agentforce suite, iteratively designing, configuring, and expanding automation and agentic workflows to improve the efficiency of our vendor operations and drive partner satisfaction.
- Act as a technical point of contact and liaison between Partner Care and central engineering units on automation technology (N8N, RPA).
- Own the tactical execution, delivery, and lifecycle management of medium complexity automation packages from problem definition to final deployment.
- Deconstruct multi-layered, complex business problems into clear, actionable technical specifications, Jira user stories, and technical delivery tickets.
- Proactively design and optimize processes across adjacent Partner Care domains, with a targeted emphasis on driving automation for Partner Operations.
- Eradicate manual, "offline" operational solutions (such as disconnected trackers and sheets) by replacing them with fully integrated, trackable ecosystem solutions.
- Coordinate User Acceptance Testing (UAT) cycles and manage structural releases, ensuring new workflows align flawlessly with target business outcomes before reaching end-users.
- Apply basic statistical analysis to operational ticketing data to systematically diagnose process bottlenecks, prove technical root causes, and mathematically validate project success.
- Build, maintain, and democratize intuitive Salesforce analytics dashboards and reporting structures to afford real-time transparency into throughput and pipeline efficiency.
- Provide technical mentorship and operational best practices to junior process contributors, creating clear system documentation to drive rapid internal software adoption.
Requirements
- 3+ years of professional experience operating within technical consulting, system administration, or tech-focused process engineering contexts, ideally within an e-commerce, hyper-scale marketplace, or advanced operations setup.
- Hands-on experience with Salesforce Service Cloud configuration (Flows, validation rules, architecture layouts).
- Prior exposure to, or a strong motivation to master, Salesforce AI tools (Einstein, Agentforce suite) is an advantage.
- Practical experience working alongside or inside corporate automation frameworks (e.g., RPA tools, N8N, or similar API-driven orchestration layers).
- Proficient operating within structured Agile/Scrum delivery frameworks, including experience organizing backlogs and tracking work items via Jira.
- Prior experience with process mapping software (such as Signavio, Lucidchart, or BPMN standards) is a clear advantage.
- Competency in leveraging data to back technical arguments—specifically utilizing SQL, Salesforce CRM Analytics (CRMA), or basic statistical models to quantify business impacts and operational ROI.
- Strong lateral leadership skills with a proven track record of managing multi-tiered stakeholder expectations and articulating technical constraints into accessible business summaries.
