We're relaunching our Salesforce Practice in Australia — and we’re looking for an exceptional Salesforce Practice Functional Director to help shape its future as the technology landscape continues to evolve at a rapidly changing pace. As part of a leading digital agency, our current Salesforce team blends creativity, CX thinking, and technical excellence. We need a passionate, people-first leader to guide our functional consultants, elevate delivery quality, and drive real business outcomes for our clients. What You’ll Do:
  • Lead and grow a team of Salesforce functional consultants across multiple clouds (e.g. Sales, Service, Experience, Data).
  • Act as the strategic functional lead across key client engagements, ensuring design excellence and client satisfaction.
  • Partner with the Salesforce executive team and internal stakeholders to define value propositions and go-to-market offerings.
  • Help shape recruitment, mentoring, and capability uplift strategies across the practice.

What You Bring:
  • Proven experience in Salesforce consulting—ideally in a leadership or principal functional role.
  • Expertise across multiple Salesforce clouds, with deep knowledge of at least one (Sales, Service, Experience, or Marketing).
  • A passion for mentoring, coaching and uplifting teams—not just managing.
  • Strong client engagement skills, from pre-sales through delivery.
  • Salesforce certifications, from Associate to Administration levels.
Why Join Us?
  • Shape something new: Be a key player in rebuilding a Salesforce practice with full leadership support. This isn’t just another role—it’s a platform to make your mark and build something lasting.

  • Flexible and empowering: work when and where you're at your best, with our ‘Be the Best You’ policy — plus a $250 contribution toward your home office setup.
  • Unplug, recharge and give something back: Enjoy 5 weeks annual leave after 2 years, 3 company-wide wellness days each year and be part of our annual whole-company volunteering event, One Day for Change.
