Senior Salesforce Admin

OUR MISSION

To become the car-changing destination of choice. By combining technology, media and deep automotive expertise, we've turned how people buy, sell, advertise and lease cars on its head.

What started as a simple reviews site is now one of the largest online car-changing destinations in Europe. Last year alone we grew over 50% with nearly £3bn worth of cars bought on site, while £1.8bn of cars were listed for sale through our Sell My Car service.

In 2024 we went big and acquired Autovia - creators of AutoExpress and Evo magazines - doubling our audience overnight. Together we now have one of the biggest YouTube channels in the world with almost 10m subscribers and over 1.1 billion annual views, while we sell 1.2 million print copies of our magazines and have an annual web content reach over 350million.

And we’re a long way from done!

BUSINESS INNOVATION @ CARWOW

Join us on a mission to transform how 300+ commercial and operations professionals work every day - by putting Salesforce at the heart of our business.

As part of the Business Innovation team, you won’t just maintain a system - you’ll contribute the evolution of our internal platform strategy. Your role is to empower teams by removing friction, replacing redundant tools, and ensuring Salesforce becomes a single source of truth for how we operate and grow.

We’re looking for someone who sees beyond config and code - someone ready to take ownership, drive adoption, and shape the future of our platform. You’ll play a key role in bringing every user fully onto Salesforce, embedding best practices, and preparing the business to harness automation and AI at scale.

If you’re a Salesforce admin - with the vision to drive impact and the skills to bring others with you - this is your opportunity.

• Own the configuration of Sales Cloud and/or Service Cloud — including custom objects, automation logic, validation rules, permission structures, and reporting models.

• Actively manage technical debt and ensure long-term platform scalability.

• Lead the implementation and optimisation of integrations between Salesforce and internal/external systems to ensure data flows are reliable, secure, and aligned with operational workflows.

• Create and maintain reports, dashboards, and list views to support business reporting needs.

• Support UAT, bug resolution, and user onboarding for all new platform capabilities.

• Identify and implement opportunities for process automation using Flow, approval workflows, and custom notifications.

KEY REQUIREMENTS

• Understand how to balance technical debt, speed, and clean design in a fast-paced environment.

• Thrive in cross-functional teams and are comfortable working with stakeholders across sales, operations, and support.

• Have experience working in agile environments using tools like Asana.

• Are proactive, pragmatic, and focused on outcomes, not just shipping code.

• Are able to create reports, dashboards, and list views for various use cases and business stakeholders.

• Have Salesforce Administrator Certification or equivalent hands-on credibility.
