Technical Lead: Corporate Domain - JHB -Hybrid

Our client, a well-established financial services organization, is looking for a Technical Lead to act as the senior technical authority for its Corporate Domain. You will guide solution design, platform governance and delivery excellence across multiple enterprise systems, including Salesforce/CRM, Finance, Risk, Complaints and Website platforms.

The role blends hands‑on technical leadership with architectural oversight, ensuring solutions are scalable, secure, maintainable and aligned to business strategy and regulatory requirements. Because Finance and Risk systems carry real audit and compliance weight, you will understand the reasoning behind controls, not just implement them.

You will mentor low code / no code developers, uplift engineering practices and act as the technical escalation point for complex workflow, integration and data challenges, working closely with product owners, business analysts, architecture, cyber security and external vendors.

• Define and enforce platform standards, development patterns, naming conventions and documentation expectations
• Ensure solutions meet enterprise security, compliance and audit requirements
• Drive continuous improvement in platform performance, reliability and scalability

• Execute end-to‑end technical delivery for enhancements, new features and major system upgrades
• Step in hands‑on to build or fix complex configurations, workflows and integrations when issues exceed the team's current capability, without taking over day‑to‑day delivery from developers
• Act as the named escalation contact for complex or high‑severity production incidents, providing hands‑on diagnosis and remediation
• Conduct root‑cause analysis for recurring or complex production defects and implement or guide the fix

• Ensure high‑quality releases through robust testing, peer review and deployment governance
• Champion automation, reusable components and best‑practice configuration

• Mentor low code / no code developers in workflow design, integration, testing and documentation
• Foster a culture of accountability, curiosity and continuous learning, including adoption of new technologies such as AI‑assisted development tools

• Translate business needs into technical design and solution architecture for low code / no code applications across CRM, Finance, Risk and Complaints systems
• Communicate technical decisions, risks and trade‑offs clearly to non‑technical stakeholders
• Work with Architecture, Cyber Security and Data teams to review designs, workflow logic, data models and integration approaches
• Manage vendor relationships for platform support, upgrades and escalations, directing and reviewing third‑party ERP/EPM build work (e.g. Net Suite, Anaplan) and holding vendors to account on quality and design decisions

• Ensure solutions comply with financial, operational and regulatory requirements
• Oversee technical controls for Risk and Complaints systems, including audit trails, permissions and data integrity
• Proactively identify technical risks, platform constraints and remediation opportunities
• Maintain high‑quality documentation across designs, workflows, integrations and release notes
