Who You Are

You're a Senior Salesforce admin who ships fast and ships clean. You're deeply fluent in Flow and Salesforce configuration, and you treat speed and rigor as one skill: you build quickly because you test, document and release with discipline, so changes stick and scale. You've made AI part of your daily craft: drafting and troubleshooting automation, untangling messy configuration, writing the documentation nobody has time for, and you know when its output needs a human check. You take ownership of your work from first request to post-release, and your changes enable hundreds of users to move faster.

What You’ll Do

• Build and maintain the Flows and Salesforce configuration our go-to-market teams run on, including automation, fields, record types, validation rules, permissions and reports.

• Turn requests from the business into scoped and tested changes, and release them safely from sandbox to production.

• Keep our core integrations running smoothly, including Chili Piper, LeanData, Intercom and Gong, and troubleshoot them when they don't.

• Diagnose production issues to the root cause and fix them for good, not just for today.

• Keep the platform healthy by improving data quality, retiring unused automation and fields, and documenting what you build.

• Use AI in your daily work to build, test and document faster, and help the SysOps team find more ways to do the same.

• Work as part of a close SysOps team alongside the other admins, developers and our Solution Architect.

What You’ve Done

• 4+ years administering Salesforce, with deep hands-on experience building and maintaining production Flows.

• A solid grasp of Salesforce security and access: permission sets, profiles, roles and sharing.

• Experience releasing changes through sandboxes with testing and documentation. Familiarity with a deployment tool like Gearset is a plus.

• A track record of daily AI use in your work (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT), with concrete examples of what it changed and the value it delivered for the teams you support.

• Experience improving data quality, speed or process in a go-to-market system, ideally with lead routing, assignment or similar automation.

• Experience working with integrations such as Chili Piper, LeanData, Intercom, Gong or comparable tools.

• Salesforce Administrator certification required. Advanced Administrator preferred.

• Nice to have: Experience with Salesforce Sales Engagement cadences, SOQL and Salesforce CLI, and familiarity with Apex.
