Job Description

The Opportunity

  • We're looking for a Salesforce Core Lead Designer to shape the end-to-end experience of our Salesforce Client Engagement Platform across Financial Services Cloud, Sales Cloud and Service Cloud.
  • This is more than a UX role. You'll be the functional design authority for Core CRM, connecting client and user needs with Salesforce capabilities to create experiences that are simple, intuitive, scalable and Salesforce-native.

Your design philosophy

  • Design around the client. Simplify around the user. Standardise around Salesforce. Measure whether it works.
  • Client-first: Connect experiences around the client relationship, not organisational silos.
  • Human-centred: Design around roles, jobs-to-be-done and end-to-end journeys.
  • Salesforce-native: Use standard and declarative capabilities before customisation.
  • Reusable by design: Create common patterns that scale across teams and jurisdictions.
  • Evidence-led: Improve experiences using adoption data, user feedback and operational insight.

What you'll lead:

  • Own the functional and experience design of Sales and Service journeys across Core Salesforce.
  • Turn complex banking processes into simple, intuitive Salesforce experiences.
  • Establish reusable patterns across Client 360, relationship management, opportunity management, client planning and service.
  • Lead and coach Salesforce Feature Analysts, setting the standard for discovery, journey design, Features, User Stories and Acceptance Criteria.
  • Challenge unnecessary complexity and customisation while maximising standard Salesforce capability.
  • Partner with Architecture, Product Owners, Engineering and business teams to create one coherent experience.
  • Use adoption and behavioural insights to continuously simplify and improve delivered capabilities.

What you'll bring:

We're looking for someone who brings together Salesforce expertise, human-centred design and strong functional leadership, including:

  • 8 - 10 years relevant experience
  • Strong practical knowledge of Financial Services Cloud, Sales Cloud and Service Cloud.
  • Human-centred design, Jobs-to-be-Done and journey mapping.
  • Salesforce Lightning Experience and Lightning Design System.
  • Declarative design, Dynamic Forms and Flow.
  • Prototyping and usability testing.
  • Client 360 and relationship-management design.
  • Reusable design patterns and functional governance.
  • Data-driven adoption and experience optimisation.
  • Leadership, coaching and cross-functional stakeholder engagement.
  • Salesforce Platform User Experience Designer is a defining qualification, supported by strong real-world Salesforce platform experience.

Why this role matters

  • We're evolving Salesforce beyond traditional CRM into a connected Client Engagement Platform, bringing together client intelligence, relationships, opportunities, teams, products, marketing and service around the client.
  • As Salesforce Core Lead Designer, you'll shape how that experience works and feels at scale.
  • One Client. One Connected View. One CIB.
