Description

The Salesforce Administrator is the technical owner of our Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud system, a single shared platform serving approximately 25-30 programs and 150 users. This position works alongside PMCH's implementation partner to test and shape the system before launch, then assumes long-term responsibility for its configuration, data integrity, security, and ongoing evolution. Working as a peer to the Manager of Data & Impact, the Administrator translates program and funder requirements into well-designed system solutions, provides technical escalation support, and serves as PMCH's internal lead on future system integrations.

Essential Functions
  • Work with the implementation partner during the Salesforce build, contributing to configuration review, testing, and development decisions; guide user acceptance testing; and assume ownership of the Salesforce org from the implementation partner, including system documentation, configuration knowledge, and open items, establishing the foundation for independent long-term maintenance
  • Maintain and enhance the production system as business needs evolve, including objects, fields, page layouts, validation rules, and record-triggered flows, testing changes before deployment
  • Protect the integrity of the system's data model, including relationship design, and ensure point-in-time records such as screenings, assessments, and compliance snapshots are preserved as historical records rather than overwritten
  • Translate business requirements into technical specifications and system configuration that support program operations and outcome measurement
  • Build and maintain the technical reporting foundation, including custom report types, complex cross-object reports, and dashboards, that supports program oversight, staff performance, and funder reporting, in partnership with the Manager of Data & Impact
  • Manage users, profiles, permission sets, and the role hierarchy, ensuring appropriate access across the many distinct programs sharing the system
  • Monitor data quality and perform data cleanup, imports, and bulk updates as needed using tools such as Data Loader
  • Serve as the technical escalation point for issues the Salesforce Support Coordinator is unable to resolve, such as automation errors, access problems, and data issues, addressing root causes so recurring issues are resolved at the system level
  • Collaborate with internal colleagues, implementation partner, and Salesforce support to prioritize system enhancements, new program setups, evolving funder data requirements, and system enhancements, issues, and releases
  • Serve as internal lead with outside consultants on future system integrations, including evaluating the feasibility of connections to external or funder-mandated systems and coordinating implementation once integration projects are approved
