  • 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.

  • 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

  • Exposure to ERP or procurement integrations (NetSuite, Coupa or similar) and to identity platforms (Okta or similar).


How You Work

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