Senior Salesforce Administrator
About The Position
The Senior Salesforce Administrator supports a Salesforce Center of Innovation as the senior configuration authority for license management, user separation, self-service reporting, and accessibility across a large enterprise Salesforce footprint. This role blends hands-on administration with business analysis. You will work directly with leadership and application teams to understand what they need, then build it using the platform's declarative tools. It suits someone who is deep in Salesforce configuration, equally comfortable running a requirements conversation, and ready to set standards other administrators follow.

- 5 years of relevant experience in Salesforce administration, business analysis, or enterprise application support.
- Salesforce Certified Administrator.
- Salesforce Certified Business Analyst.
- Ability to obtain and maintain a government background investigation.

- Maintain license assignment processes along with permission sets, permission set groups, and profiles.

- Keep access and separation records current so entitlement decisions can be audited.
- Build and maintain self-service reports and dashboards covering license usage, release activity, helpdesk volume, and other leadership metrics.
- Design report types, custom report formulas, and dashboard filters so teams can answer their own questions without submitting a request.
- Validate the data quality behind the reporting so leadership can rely on the numbers.

- Apply accessible design practices in declarative work, including page layouts, Lightning App Builder, field labels, and help text.
