Purpose of the job
We’re looking for a Senior Technical Product Manager to lead the strategy, delivery, and evolution of our internal integration and API ecosystem, with a primary focus on services and APIs that connect our platforms and operational systems with Salesforce and enable reusable, secure, well-governed Salesforce-connected API services across the business.
This role is critical in enabling scalable customer, operational, and commercial processes across the business. You will own the integration product landscape that underpins how systems exchange data, automate workflows, and maintain consistent customer and operational information across the organisation.
You’ll operate at the intersection of product, engineering, architecture, and business operations — driving both strategic direction and hands-on delivery. This is a highly technical product role requiring someone who can think strategically about platform and process design, platform scalability, while also diving into technical detail to guide engineering teams through complex integration challenges.
Key Responsibilities
• Own the vision, roadmap, and prioritisation for internal APIs and integration capabilities connecting Salesforce with enterprise platforms and operational systems.
• Define Internal API strategy aligned to business transformation, operational efficiency, and platform scalability goals.
• Drive API-first and event-driven integration approaches where appropriate.
• Identify opportunities to simplify system interactions, reduce technical debt, and improve data consistency across platforms.
• Balance short-term delivery needs with long-term architectural sustainability.
• Drive product discovery activities to validate opportunities, prioritise business value, and shape scalable platform solutions.
• Work closely with engineering, architecture, Salesforce, and platform teams to define scalable integration patterns and API standards.
• Understand and challenge technical solutions, data flows, system dependencies, and architectural decisions.
• Guide the design of resilient, secure, and reusable APIs and integrations.
• Contribute to discussions around middleware, orchestration, authentication, observability, eventing, and data synchronisation.
• Ensure integrations are designed with operational stability, maintainability, and scalability in mind.
• Lead end-to-end delivery of integration and API initiatives across multiple business systems.
• Manage and prioritise integration backlogs across Salesforce and connected enterprise applications.
• Partner closely with engineering teams throughout discovery, design, build, testing, and release phases.
• Work with QA, DevOps, support, and operational teams to ensure reliable production delivery and monitoring.
• Drive continuous improvement across API performance, reliability, data quality, and operational processes.
• Collaborate with business stakeholders, operational teams, and engineering teams to understand process and integration requirements.
• Translate complex operational and technical challenges into clear product outcomes.
• Communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Act as the primary product lead for internal integration capabilities and platform connectivity.
• Drive alignment across engineering, architecture, Salesforce, operations, data, and business teams to deliver cohesive platform and integration outcomes.
