Salesforce Specialist

JOB SUMMARY

The Salesforce Specialist is responsible for the day-to-day configuration, support, and maintenance of the organization's Salesforce platform, with expertise across Sales Cloud and Service Cloud.

The Salesforce Administrator partners with Client Services, Clinical Operations, Revenue Cycle Management, and other cross-functional stakeholders to translate business needs into scalable Salesforce solutions, while maintaining backlog management, clear stakeholder communication, and sound data governance across the platform. This role sits within the Salesforce Product team and works closely with the Technology team, providing hands-on declarative development work as part of larger multi-platform projects.
