Entry Level Salesforce Devops Jobs in Boston, MA

WS Development is seeking a Salesforce Administrator to support the operational performance, stability, and continued evolution of our highly customized Salesforce platform. Salesforce is a critical, business-wide system, and this role plays a hands-on, execution-focused role in ensuring the platform runs reliably while continuously improving automation, reporting, data integrity, and overall user experience.

This position works closely with the Salesforce Lead/Business Analyst, development partners, and cross-functional teams across the organization, requiring strong communication and collaboration skills. The role serves as a key operational support function rather than a solution architect or primary developer, ensuring that Salesforce effectively supports WS Development's Retail Leasing operations and broader business needs. The ability to clearly communicate technical concepts to non-technical users is essential to supporting adoption and effective system use.

To be successful, the individual must be willing to learn and develop a strong understanding of WS Development's business practices - particularly within the Retail Leasing environment. A working knowledge of leasing workflows, deal stages, pipeline management, and operational metrics is critical to delivering effective reporting, dashboards, and system usability.

The ideal candidate is detail-driven, technically strong, responsive, and motivated to deliver high-quality system execution in a complex, highly customized Salesforce org.

This is a handson, executionfocused role that is closely aligned with business operations. Daytoday responsibilities include:

• Acting as the primary owner of core Salesforce reports and dashboards used across departments.
• Developing a strong understanding of WS Development's Retail Leasing workflows and KPIs to ensure reporting aligns with business priorities.
• Building, refining, and maintaining reports and dashboards based on clearly defined requirements.
• Ensuring data consistency and reliability to support accurate pipeline, deal, and performance reporting.
• Continuously improving dashboards to enhance clarity, usability, and executive visibility.

• Maintaining and troubleshooting declarative automation within a highly customized Salesforce org.
• Supporting configuration updates and incremental system enhancements.
• Conducting structured QA testing for configuration changes and development updates prior to deployment.
• Partnering with developers to validate functionality, reduce defects, and support smooth releases.
• Supporting release and change management activities, including sandbox validation and postdeployment verification.

• Maintaining high standards of data quality, consistency, and usability.
• Performing data imports, exports, deduplication, and cleanup activities.
• Identifying patterns in usergenerated errors and implementing preventative solutions.
• Supporting longterm data governance practices to improve reporting reliability and operational confidence.

• Leveraging AI tools (including Salesforcenative AI and approved external platforms) as productivity aids to:
• Improve troubleshooting and rootcause analysis
• Enhance reporting insights
• Support documentation and QA processes
• Increase internal problemsolving efficiency
• Identifying practical, businessappropriate opportunities where AI can streamline support processes and expand internal solution capability.

This role requires responsiveness, critical thinking, attention to detail, and a genuine interest in understanding how Retail Leasing operations function to better support end users.

Within the first year, success in this role will include:

• Developing a strong understanding of WS Development's Salesforce architecture and Retail Leasing workflows.
• Becoming a trusted operational support partner to Leasing and business teams.
• Delivering clear, accurate, and actionable reporting aligned with business priorities.
• Reducing recurring automation failures and dataentryrelated errors.
• Strengthening QA practices around configuration changes and deployments.
• Demonstrating practical and effective use of AI tools to improve efficiency and internal capability.

• Helping refine Salesforce to better align with evolving Retail Leasing practices.
• Expanding inhouse solution capabilities through pragmatic, AIenabled improvements.
