Salesforce Administrator

As a Salesforce Administrator on the Digital team, you keep our Salesforce org healthy and help users get the most out of it. You solve complex cases, support business teams with their requests, contribute to the development and/or maintenance of features in our Salesforce org, and own initiatives that require technical knowledge such as setting up integrations. You work closely with other team members from the digital team (product owner, solution architect, developers, scrum master, functional specialists, other admins), and with stakeholders and users from other departments.
