Salesforce Functional Architect - Energy Trading | Greenfield Salesforce Transformation | FTC Up to £120,000 + Benefits + Bonus | Hybrid
Salesforce functional architect is needed for a leading Energy & Commodities Trading firm that is embarking on an exciting Salesforce transformation — and they’re looking for a Salesforce Functional Architect to help shape what the platform becomes.
This is an opportunity for someone who has built their career on the engineering and technical side of Salesforce, but is now looking to move closer to the business: understanding what users actually need, challenging requirements, identifying gaps in the platform, and shaping Salesforce into a product that genuinely supports the organisation.
The Salesforce rollout is still in its embryonic, greenfield stage, meaning there is a huge amount of scope to influence the architecture, functionality, roadmap and ultimately the way the business uses Salesforce.
This Salesforce Architect role isn't a role where you're inheriting a mature Salesforce estate with years of legacy decisions, established processes and a roadmap that's already been defined.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
One day you could be working with senior stakeholders to understand a business requirement; the next you might be deep-diving into Salesforce functionality with an engineering team; another day you could be helping solve a much smaller operational issue.
No job is too big or too small.
- Salary: Up to £120,000 + Bonus + Benefits
- Location: Bank / St Pauls are the closest stations
- Work Schedule: 3 days per week in the office
- Contract Type: Fixed Term Contract, 12 months
The Role
You’ll sit at the intersection of Salesforce technology and business requirements. Rather than simply taking requirements and turning them into Salesforce configurations, you’ll be expected to understand the underlying business problem and determine how Salesforce can best solve it.
You’ll work closely with business stakeholders, engineers, product teams and Salesforce specialists to:
- Understand business processes, pain points and requirements.
- Translate business needs into practical Salesforce solutions.
- Assess Salesforce's capabilities and identify where the platform can meet requirements — and where it cannot.
- Identify functional gaps and work with technical teams to determine how they should be addressed.
- Challenge requirements where appropriate rather than simply accepting them at face value.
- Help shape the Salesforce roadmap and future-state vision.
- Define functional architecture and solution approaches.
- Work closely with Salesforce engineers to ensure solutions are scalable, maintainable and aligned with the wider platform strategy.
- Help establish best practices, governance and standards as the Salesforce estate develops.
- Support the rollout from an early-stage implementation through to a mature enterprise platform.

Salesforce certifications such as Salesforce Administrator, Platform Developer, Platform App Builder or Application/System Architect would be advantageous, but we're particularly interested in what you have actually delivered and how you think, rather than simply the certifications you hold.
