• Configure and maintain Sales, Service, Experience and (where applicable) CPQ Cloud functionality.

Process Automation

• Migrate legacy Workflow Rules and Process Builder automation to Flow.

User Access, Security & Compliance

• Manage the user lifecycle, including roles, profiles, permission sets and permission set groups.
• Support SSO/SAML and MFA configuration in partnership with IT/Identity, and investigate login failures.
• Run Health Check, Security Center and Optimizer reviews, and support internal audit and compliance requests.

Data Stewardship

• Maintain data quality through validation rules, duplicate/matching rules and periodic audits.
• Execute data loads, mass updates and data remediation.
• Manage sandbox refresh and seeding.
• Build and maintain reports, dashboards and report types for Sales, Marketing, Operations and Customer Success.

Release Management, CI/CD & Maintenance

• Own weekly release execution in Git/Bitbucket and CI/CD tooling, including manual pre- and post-deployment steps.
• Manage Salesforce seasonal releases and communicate impact to stakeholders.

Technical Debt & Platform Health

• Identify, size and remediate technical debt across configuration, code, automation and access.
• Maintain a prioritized debt register and deliver remediation alongside regular work.

Support, Triage & Cross-Functional Partnership

• Triage and resolve production issues, integration failures and data discrepancies.
• Partner with Sales, Marketing, Operations, Customer Success and adjacent system owners (ERP, procurement, marketing automation) to shape requirements and resolve production issues.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Salesforce Administrator and Platform Developer I (PD1) certifications.
• 7-12 years in Salesforce administration and development, including at least 3 years operating as a senior or lead engineer on a team.

Preferred Qualifications

• Platform Developer II (PD2), Advanced Administrator, Platform App Builder, or Application/System Architect certifications.
• Experience in a large, long-lived org carrying legacy debt, and in remediating it without disrupting the business.
• Exposure to ERP or procurement integrations (NetSuite, Coupa or similar) and to identity platforms (Okta or similar).

How You Work

• Clear written and verbal communication; able to explain a technical trade-off to a non-technical stakeholder and a business constraint to an engineer.

• Sound judgment on when to say no, or not yet, and why.
