Job description

This isn’t a “keep the lights on” admin job. You’ll take full day-to-day ownership of Salesforce configuration and administration across Sales, Service and Field Service Cloud, working hand-in-hand with the Solutions Architect to turn approved designs into well-built, properly tested platform changes. You’ll also take on line management of a small team of Salesforce administrators acting as their escalation point, quality gatekeeper and mentor. If you’re a senior Salesforce Administrator who’s ready to step up, own the platform, and start building a team around you, this is that next move.

Requirements

o Strong hands-on configuration skills: Flow Builder, validation rules, page layouts, reports & dashboards, security model o Experience managing or mentoring more junior team members, formally or informally o Working knowledge of Apex and Lightning Components sufficient to review and QA changes hands-on development is not a requirement of this role o Familiarity with deployment tools such as Copado or Gearset o Comfortable working within Agile ways of working and structured change control processes o Excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills across technical and non-technical audiences o Experience working with Salesforce managed packages is a plus
