Lonestar Electric Supply is seeking a Marketing & CRM Specialist to support the company-wide rollout, onboarding, and adoption of our Customer Relationship Management (CRM) platform. Reporting directly to the Vice President of Marketing, this role is responsible for executing the CRM rollout strategy defined by Lonestar leadership and ensuring consistent training, data quality, and system usage across all branches.

• Provide first-line CRM support, including workflow questions, navigation assistance, and basic troubleshooting.
• Create user-friendly resources such as SOPs, quick reference guides, and step-by-step documentation.
• Set up and deactivate users; manage access permissions and profiles.
• Build and maintain dashboards, reports, list views, and basic workflow automations as directed by leadership.
• Configure fields, picklists, and layouts within the CRM based on approved requirements.
• Support marketing automation activities including email sequences, lead-nurture workflows, segmentation, and campaign setup.
• Assist with reporting and customer intelligence projects for the marketing team.
• Perform data imports, cleanups, deduplication, and quality checks (e.g., vendor lists, trade show data, lead files).
• Monitor CRM integrations with Eclipse ERP and Office 365, escalating issues to IT or vendor support when needed.
• Serve as Lonestar’s primary liaison with the CRM vendor for escalations, bug reporting, and troubleshooting.
• Log issues clearly, track resolution progress, and maintain communication with internal stakeholders.
