Business Systems Analyst - CRM (Salesforce)

Description:

\\\Fully Remote Position\\\

Position Overview: We are seeking a business\-facing CRM owner to manage and evolve our Salesforce platform. We have recently launched Salesforce Sales Cloud with strong adoption across our sales organization, and are entering the next phase of our CRM journey, including continued platform expansion and the upcoming implementation of Marketing Cloud. This role is critical in ensuring we build on early adoption success and continue to scale Salesforce into a core driver of sales performance, visibility, and growth. This role is responsible for ensuring Salesforce supports how our sales team actually sells — from daily execution to long\-term strategy. You will work directly with field sales reps, sales leadership, and implementation partners to translate business needs into system improvements. This is a hybrid role combining system administration, business analysis, reporting, and user support. You will own the full lifecycle of the platform — from user support and data integrity to governance, enhancements, and performance tracking. While Salesforce is the current focus, this role will expand into ownership of broader sales and business systems over time.

Governance \& Development Management

• Manage and prioritize a backlog of system enhancements and requests
• Enforce governance over system changes to maintain consistency and scalability

• Serve as the primary support resource for CRM users
• Troubleshoot issues and guide users on best practices
• Maintain clear documentation of system processes and standards

Requirements:

• Experience with CRM automation tools (e.g., Flow or similar)
