Job Category Customer Success Job Details About Salesforce Salesforce is the #1 AI CRM, where humans with agents drive customer success together. Here, ambition meets action. Tech meets trust. And innovation isn’t a buzzword — it’s a way of life. The world of work as we know it is changing and we're looking for Trailblazers who are passionate about bettering business and the world through AI, driving innovation, and keeping Salesforce's core values at the heart of it all. Ready to level-up your career at the company leading workforce transformation in the agentic era? You’re in the right place! Agentforce is the future of AI, and you are the future of Salesforce. Public sector organisations across the UK and Ireland are moving from isolated CRM implementations to connected, data-driven and AI-enabled services. Trusted, unified data is now the foundation for every Agentforce and personalised-engagement ambition we deliver. As a Technical Architect Director specialising in Data Cloud, you’ll advise on, design and govern the transformation of complex cloud-based solutions across multiple teams and workstreams in our UK&I Public Sector practice. You’ll partner directly with customers to architect solutions aligned to strategic business outcomes. Through effective governance and design oversight, you’ll make sure architecture stays consistent, scalable and high quality. You’ll balance immediate delivery priorities against long-term platform strategy, building data, integration and emerging AI capabilities into every design. This is a senior individual-contributor role with no line management responsibilities. You’ll work closely with Delivery Managers, Solution Architects and Account Teams, you may be hands-on in architecture work, and you may lead a workstream.
