• Partner with Operations and Sales teams to enable feature adoption through training and change management.
• Evaluate and manage integrations between Salesforce and external systems or third-party APIs.
• Develop reports and dashboards to convert platform data into actionable business intelligence.
• Maintain platform health, security, data integrity, and user access across ~150 users

• Proven experience in a Salesforce Functional Consultant, Solutions Consultant, or Business Analyst role.
• Salesforce Certified Sales Cloud or Service Cloud Consultant required (plus Salesforce Certified Admin baseline).
• Strong business analysis skills, including workshop leadership, process mapping, and user story creation.
