## 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.
What you'll be doing
o Own day-to-day Salesforce administration, configuration and maintenance across Sales, Service and Field Service cloudsBuild and maintain complex automation using Flow Builder, validation rules and other declarative tools; review Apex and Lightning Component changes where required
o Manage and mentor a small team of Salesforce administrators/support analysts overseeing workload, quality of output and professional development
o Triage and resolve complex user support escalations across Salesforce and integrated systems
o Partner with the Solutions Architect to translate architecture and solution designs into configured, tested platform changes
o Manage user access, the security model, profiles, permission sets and data integrity
o Deploy platform changes through the development pipeline in line with change control protocols
o Maintain up-to-date system documentation, configuration records and standard operating procedures
o Support release management activities and assess the impact of new Salesforce releases on existing configuration
o Engage with external partners and vendors on delivery standards and timelines
o Identify opportunities for process improvement, automation and technical debt reduction
What you'll bring
o Salesforce Certified Administrator (essential); Advanced Administrator or Platform App Builder certification desirable
o Substantial, senior-level experience as a Salesforce Administrator comfortable owning the platform day-to-day rather than working under close direction
