Salesforce Technical Lead

Overview

ConstructConnect is seeking a Salesforce Technical Lead to serve as the primary technical authority for our enterprise Salesforce platform. In this role, you will architect, build, and scale a high‑performing Salesforce core that underpins our revenue operations and long‑term platform strategy. You will set the technical direction for our Salesforce org, working closely alongside Salesforce platform developers and GTM systems administrators to deliver scalable, pro‑code and declarative solutions. As the technical anchor, you will guide engineering decisions, establish standards, and elevate the team’s capabilities while staying hands‑on across the Salesforce core platform, quote‑to‑cash lifecycle, data integrity, and AI‑assisted development practices.
