About the role
Senior Salesforce Consultant
(Technical | AI-Enabled | Media Cloud & Agentforce)
📍 Location: South Africa (Remote-first)
🕒 Full-time | Permanent
We are a boutique Salesforce consultancy and Summit (Platinum) Partner delivering complex, high-impact implementations across Sales, Service, Marketing, Experience Cloud — and increasingly Media Cloud and Agentforce.
We are looking for a high-performing Senior Salesforce Consultant with strong configuration and technical capability, who is comfortable leading from the front in client-facing environments and building scalable, enterprise-grade solutions.
This role goes beyond traditional consulting. You will operate across solution design, hands-on build, and client leadership, while also embracing the next evolution of delivery: AI-assisted Salesforce configuration and automation.
You will work closely with Architects and Developers, but are expected to independently shape solutions from ambiguous requirements and deliver high-quality outcomes.
⚠️ This is not a BAU/support role.
We are specifically looking for candidates who have delivered complex implementations in consultancy or multi-client environments.
🚀 Main Duties & Responsibilities
Translate business requirements into scalable, well-architected Salesforce solutions, moving from AS-IS to TO-BE design
Lead client-facing engagements:
Discovery workshops
Requirements gathering
Solution walkthroughs and playback sessions
Own end-to-end configuration across environments:
Objects, fields, record types, page layouts
Validation rules, approval processes
Security model (roles, profiles, permission sets)
Design and implement advanced Flow automation, including:
Cross-object logic
Error handling frameworks
Scalable, maintainable automation patterns
Deliver solutions across core and emerging Salesforce capabilities, including:
Salesforce Media Cloud (industry-specific data models, media workflows, advertising lifecycle)
Salesforce Agentforce (AI-powered agent experiences, automation, and augmentation)
Use AI-assisted tools (Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Github Copilot, or equivalent) as a core part of delivery to:
Accelerate and validate metadata configuration
Support solution design and edge-case handling
Generate documentation, test cases, and implementation artefacts
Improve delivery speed and quality
Contribute to solution architecture discussions, working closely with Technical Architects
Design and maintain scalable data models, including industry-specific schemas (e.g. Media Cloud)
Design and support integrations with third-party systems (telephony, marketing tools, document generation, data platforms)
Own and contribute to testing strategy:
UAT
Regression testing
Release readiness
Work within structured delivery environments:
Agile sprint planning
Estimation and backlog management
Release and DevOps processes
Build reports, dashboards, and analytical solutions to support business decision-making
Support pre-sales activities, including demos and solution shaping
Mentor junior team members and set standards for quality and best practice
🧠 Knowledge & Experience Required
5+ years Salesforce experience, ideally within a consultancy or multi-client delivery environment
Proven experience delivering end-to-end Salesforce implementations, not just incremental enhancements
Strong hands-on experience with:
Salesforce Flow (essential)
Data modelling and relational data structures
Security and sharing models
Experience across:
Sales Cloud and Service Cloud
Additional exposure to Experience Cloud, Marketing Cloud, or Industry Clouds is beneficial
Exposure to Media Cloud or other Industry Clouds is highly advantageous
Working knowledge or practical experience with Agentforce / AI-driven Salesforce capabilities is a strong plus
Strong experience with:
Integrations and AppExchange tools (e.g. document generation, e-signature, telephony, marketing platforms)
Data migration and ETL tools (Data Loader, Workbench, etc.)
Experience working in Agile delivery environments with DevOps practices (Jira, Git, CI/CD, SFDX)
Hands-on use of AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, or similar) in Salesforce delivery is essential, including:
AI-assisted metadata configuration
Automation design and debugging
Documentation and testing acceleration
Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to engage both technical and non-technical audiences
🎯 Strong Differentiators
Experience in a Salesforce consultancy / partner environment
Certifications:
Salesforce Administrator (required)
Advanced Admin, Platform App Builder
Consultant certifications (Sales, Service, Experience, etc.)
Experience with:
Media, advertising, or industry-specific implementations
AI-enabled Salesforce features (Agentforce, Einstein, automation augmentation)
Field Service, Omni-Channel, or Service operations
Marketing automation (Marketing Cloud / Account Engagement)
Data/analytics tools (e.g. Tableau)
Exposure to enterprise-scale or multi-org implementations
👀 This Role Is a Strong Fit If You:
Have worked in a consulting or multi-client Salesforce environment
Are comfortable moving between:
Requirements gathering
Solution design
Hands-on configuration
Have delivered complex implementations (e.g. case management, service operations, media workflows, or marketing automation)
Can confidently lead client conversations and shape outcomes, not just execute tasks
Enjoy solving ambiguous, complex problems and turning them into structured, scalable solutions
Actively use AI tools to enhance delivery quality and speed, not just as an experiment
