About the role
DeterTech's purpose is giving greater peace of mind to people and communities, every day, and clear, well-documented solutions are how we make sure our Salesforce platform keeps pace with the business. This role supports the Salesforce Technical Lead by turning conversations and requirements into properly analysed and documented solutions, while also being hands-on enough to contribute directly to configuration and build.
This is not a purely functional Business Analyst role: you'll be comfortable moving between stakeholder conversations, solution documentation and hands-on Salesforce configuration, giving the Technical Lead more time to focus on the areas where specialist technical input matters most.
ABOUT DETERTECH
DeterTech is a security technology company operating across six countries, with principal UK sites in Prestwick and Telford. We predict, deter and detect risk on behalf of the people and communities we serve. Our values – Committed, Inclusive and Ambitious – shape how we work every day: we are accountable and deliver excellence; we collaborate and build trust; and we never stop learning while winning in the right way.
This is a remote role, although we value regular face-to-face collaboration. We would ideally like someone who can attend our Telford office around once a week if based locally, or a couple of office visits per month for those based further afield.
