Key Details
The Salesforce Application Support Developer is a key member of the Salesforce Application Support Team at PPL PRS. This role enhances our support capability by embedding Salesforce development expertise directly within the support function.
The role focuses on enhancements, configuration changes, minor bug fixes, and technical improvements to the Salesforce platform, while acting as a technical escalation point for the wider Application Support Team.
