Online Education Services (OES) is a purpose-driven organisation dedicated to transforming the lives of learners by expanding access to high-quality online education. We work in close partnership with universities and leading education providers across Australia and the United Kingdom, supporting the development of innovative, student-centred online programmes that make a genuine difference.
As a proud member of the SEEK Group, we benefit from the expertise and global reach of a world-renowned digital leader — while maintaining the collaborative, people-first culture that makes OES a great place to work. Our vision is bold: to become the world's most impactful enabler of education. We're well on our way, and we'd love you to be part of that journey.
The Role
We have an exciting opportunity for a skilled and motivated Senior Salesforce Developer to join our technology team at our Birmingham City Centre offices.
In this pivotal role, you will take ownership of the development, enhancement, and ongoing maintenance of our Salesforce platform — the engine that powers how our teams deliver outstanding experiences for students and university partners alike. You will work closely with key internal stakeholders and liaise with third-party development teams, ensuring the platform continues to evolve in line with the needs of a dynamic, fast-growing organisation.
