Senior Salesforce Administrator

The Senior Salesforce Administrator owns our CRM—a specialized platform built on Salesforce—as a product. You are accountable for its configuration, reliability, and day-to-day performance as the system of record.

From user management and lead permissioning to reporting, dashboards, and data integrity, you will be the single internal owner of the platform. Partnering with Inside Sales, Field Sales, Growth Analytics, and executive leadership, you will ensure the right teams have the right access to data, allowing leadership to trust the reporting used to run the business.

This hands-on role requires a certified, detail-oriented administrator who combines deep Salesforce fluency with a service-first mindset.

User Management & Lead Permissioning

Reporting & Dashboard Development

  • Develop pipeline, lead-funnel, conversion, and activity reporting that leaders trust to run the business.

  • Partner with Growth Analytics to ensure consistent metric definitions and a single source of truth.

  • Deliver self-serve dashboards that reduce manual reporting and put insight in users’ hands.

Data Quality, Governance & Reconciliation

  • Own CRM data integrity, including validation rules, de-duplication, standardization, and ongoing data hygiene.

  • Reconcile data across Salesforce and connected systems to ensure accurate lead, appointment, and sales reporting.

  • Establish and enforce data governance standards, naming conventions, and required fields.

  • Support attribution accuracy by keeping source, campaign, and outcome data clean and complete.

Automation & Process Optimization

  • Design and maintain automation using Flow, validation rules, and workflow to streamline the lead-to-sale process.

  • Automate lead lifecycle, task assignment, alerts, and notifications to increase speed-to-lead and rep productivity.

  • Continuously identify and remove friction in sales and marketing processes within the system.

  • Translate business requirements into scalable, well-documented system solutions.

Integrations & Telephony Administration

  • Own and maintain key CRM integrations, including telephony/dialer systems, lead-source feeds, and marketing intake.

  • Monitor integration health and coordinate with vendors to resolve issues quickly.

  • Ensure leads from all sources flow accurately and completely into the CRM.

  • Support the contact center technology stack as it connects to Salesforce.

User Enablement & Cross-Functional Support

  • Serve as the first line of support for CRM users, resolving issues and answering questions quickly.

  • Train and onboard users, and create documentation and job aids that drive adoption and correct usage.

  • Partner with Inside Sales, Field Sales, and leadership to prioritize enhancements against business needs.

  • Act as a trusted advisor on how to get the most value from the CRM.
