This position is being staffed on a part-time, corp-to-corp contract basis, with the potential to convert to full-time as business needs and platform demands grow.

Required Qualifications: -2 to 4+ years of hands-on Salesforce Administration experience, ideally within Sales Cloud. -Demonstrated experience providing end-user support/helpdesk services and managing a ticket queue (Salesforce-specific). -Working knowledge of Flow Builder, with the ability to read, debug, and modify existing automations. -Experience with core administrative configuration: users/profiles/permission sets, page layouts, validation rules, reports and dashboards. -Comfortable working directly with non-technical business users to gather requirements and explain solutions in plain language. -Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to collaborate effectively across time zones with an offshore development team. -Salesforce Administrator (ADM 201) certification, or equivalent hands-on experience. Preferred Qualifications: -Experience supporting or configuring integrations with payment processing platforms (e.g., Stripe, Authorize.net, or similar). -Experiencing supporting or configuring integrations with telephony solutions, contract management solutions like DocuSign, Conga, PandaDoc, etc. -Experience supporting or configuring integrations with document management solutions like integrating SharePoint, Google Drive, etc. -Strong familiarity with declarative automations, especially Salesforce Flows Employment Type: -Part-time contract, corp-to-corp (C2C) -Potential to convert to full-time based on performance and increasing business demand -Remote; collaborating with internal staff and an offshore development team -Reports To: Client-designated internal point of contact This role is staffed through our agency on behalf of our client on a corp-to-corp basis.
