Salesforce Application Support Developer
Can you imagine a world without music? Neither can we.
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.
