Earthjustice's Development Department (our fundraising team) is seeking a Salesforce Administrator to support our current CRM migration to Agentforce for Nonprofits as well as long-term management of our nonprofit's development technologies. This is a non-supervisory position that will report to the Associate Director of Development Technology Solutions. This role maneuvers Earthjustice through intensive, project-based work to launch our new CRM before transitioning into an operationalized administrator role thereafter. The position will enable robust CRM integrations and stabilize and mature our new technology ecosystem - keeping data healthy, well-governed, and useful for our 100+ CRM users.

Our CRM sits at the center of a connected ecosystem -- linked to our data warehouse and analytics layer, marketing automation, and donor-services tools.

  • Collaborate closely with data and system owners across various teams to ensure consistent, accurate, and well-integrated data practices.

User Enablement & Adoption (25%)
  • Design and deliver training, office hours, and documentation that meet users where they are, across a range of Salesforce sophistication and experience.

  • Grow a self-service reporting culture by coaching users to build and trust reports and dashboards for their own work, and directing them to Tableau information resources designed by the Evaluations team.

Reporting, Analytics & Build Support (20%)

  • Address technical debt and enable future innovation with careful attention to stakeholder needs and aspirations, assessing and implementing third-party solutions, helping maintain and monitor the integrations that connect the CRM to the broader ecosystem.

Business Process Documentation & Enablement (10%)
  • Translate fundraiser and operations needs into clear requirements -- user stories, tradeoffs, and acceptance criteria -- grounded in fundraising practice, not just tooling.
  • Document how work happens across major and planned-giving moves management, direct marketing and segmentation, foundation relations, and prospect development, and keep that documentation current as processes evolve.
