About The Position

ZipStaff is seeking a Salesforce Security Specialist to lead a three-week security assessment for a financial services organization. The review covers two Salesforce orgs: an established org with accumulated technical debt and a new Financial Services Cloud org approaching launch. It also includes the Okta sign-in path into both orgs and roughly a dozen integrations running through AWS Lambda. Production work is read-only; hands-on validation is conducted in a sandbox. The position is fully remote, and the specialist leads the review, performs hands-on checks, signs off on findings delivered to the client, and serves as the senior technical voice with client security, platform, and leadership teams. ZipStaff partners with organizations to connect technology professionals with contract opportunities, focusing on quality matches, clear communication, and long-term success for candidates and clients.
