  • Collaborate closely with Data Services team members to incorporate and support their data migration and integration activities throughout the project.
  • Lead and/or coordinate with other consultants on the implementation of various integrated solutions (e.g. Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Experience Cloud, Blackthorn, Conga, Formstack)

  • Experience implementing enterprise-level Salesforce and related technology projects from inception through go-live with repeated and demonstrable success.
  • Experience delivering projects using agile software development methodologies, including sprint planning, user story and acceptance criteria definition, user acceptance testing and deployment.
  • Experience defining business requirements, writing user stories, and providing detailed system architectures and solution designs.
  • Experience mocking up, diagraming and/or documenting process flows, integrations, complex automations and UX/UI designs to communicate recommended future state solutions and business processes.
  • A strong, demonstrable understanding of database design and system architecture concepts, methods and technologies.
  • Experience supporting and building out integrations between Salesforce and external systems using both drag-and-drop tools (e.g., Zapier) and more complex ETL tools (e.g., Jitterbit, Mulesoft, Talent).
  • Demonstrable knowledge and understanding of relevant programming languages, logic and constructs common to Salesforce, including Apex, Lightning Pages and Components, Visualforce, SOQL and SOSL.
  • Advanced understanding of environment management, release management, code versioning best practices, and deployment methodologies.
  • Excellent oral and written communication, presenting, meeting facilitation, negotiation, decision making, and problem solving skills.

Desired Skills

  • 6+ years direct experience in implementing, managing and/or supporting CRM systems and related technologies.
  • 2+ years direct experience configuring and administering solutions in Salesforce.
  • Salesforce Admin Certification and one other advanced certification in Salesforce or related products (e.g., Advanced Admin, Platform Developer, ascend/Affiniquest Certifications)
  • 2+ years working in university or non-profit fundraising and alumni/constituent relations is preferred.
  • Experience implementing or managing an instance of Education Cloud, Kindsight ascend or Affiniquest.
