As part of the Business Innovation team, you won't just maintain a system - you'll contribute the evolution of our internal platform strategy. Your role is to empower teams by removing friction, replacing redundant tools, and ensuring Salesforce becomes a single source of truth for how we operate and grow. We're looking for someone who sees beyond config and code - someone ready to take ownership, drive adoption, and shape the future of our platform. You'll play a key role in bringing every user fully onto Salesforce, embedding best practices, and preparing the business to harness automation and AI at scale. If you're a Salesforce admin - with the vision to drive impact and the skills to bring others with you - this is your opportunity.

Support user onboarding and adoption: contribute to enablement materials (how to guides, FAQs, release notes), and assist with training sessions for new joiners and existing teams. Assist UAT and release readiness for new features: coordinate testing feedback, log defects, validate fixes, and support post release checks. Implement small process improvements and basic automation using Flow and standard approvals, following team patterns and getting reviews for higher impact changes. Contribute to continuous improvement by documenting existing processes, highlighting technical debt, and suggesting pragmatic enhancements that reduce manual work. KEY REQUIREMENTS 1 to 2+ years of Salesforce administration experience (or equivalent hands on experience) supporting business users. Comfortable with Salesforce fundamentals: objects, fields, page layouts, record types, validation rules, and permissions (profiles, permission sets, roles). Working knowledge of Salesforce reporting (reports, dashboards, list views) and the ability to translate stakeholder questions into useful outputs. Basic to intermediate experience with Salesforce Flow, with an understanding of safe change practices (testing, documentation, change control).
