Do you thrive in a hands-on leadership role where you can shape testing practices, mentor others, and drive continuous improvement across complex Salesforce environments? If so, we'd love to hear from you.

We're looking for a Salesforce Test Manager / Lead Tester to join our team and play a critical role in delivering high-quality Salesforce solutions across a range of business transformation initiatives.

We can offer great career progression opportunities, benefits which you can flex to meet your needs, and training and development opportunities.

• Producing and executing detailed test plans, test cases, and test scripts across System Integration Testing, End-to-End Testing, Regression Testing, User Acceptance Testing, and Smoke Testing.
• Validating Salesforce functionality, integrations, data migrations, security models, automation, and custom platform developments to ensure solutions meet business and regulatory requirements.
• Designing, developing, and maintaining automated test suites using Copado Robotic Testing (CRT) to improve regression coverage and support CI/CD delivery pipelines.
• Managing defect lifecycle activities, including defect triage, prioritisation, resolution tracking, retesting, and deployment readiness assessments.
• Providing testing leadership, quality reporting, stakeholder updates, and support to business users throughout testing and release activities.

What you'll bring:

• Strong experience leading testing activities across Salesforce projects, releases, or transformation programmes.
• Experience testing Salesforce solutions including Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Experience Cloud, Data Cloud, Agentforce, and custom Salesforce applications.
• Expertise in test planning, test execution, defect management, quality assurance methodologies, and release validation.
• Experience with Copado Robotic Testing (CRT) or comparable test automation tools and frameworks.
• Ability to lead testing activities independently while collaborating effectively with technical and business stakeholders.
• Strong understanding of Agile delivery practices and software testing best practices.

It would be great if you had:

• Salesforce OmniStudio Developer Certification.
• Salesforce Platform App Builder Certification.
• Experience supporting CI/CD and DevOps-based Salesforce delivery models.
• Experience mentoring testers and supporting continuous improvement initiatives within QA teams.
