What You Will Do:


Break/Fix (Production Support)

  • Serve as the first line of analysis for Salesforce production issues, including user-reported defects, data issues, automation failures, permissions problems, and integration-related incidents.

  • Triage and prioritize incidents in coordination with stakeholders and technical team members based on severity, business impact, and urgency.

  • Perform root cause analysis (RCA) by reviewing data, configuration, automation logic, and user workflows to identify the underlying cause of issues.

  • Document issues clearly, including problem statements, reproduction steps, impacted users or processes, and recommended fixes.

  • Communicate status updates, impacts, and resolution summaries to business and technical stakeholders throughout the incident lifecycle.

Enhancements (Backlog Support)

  • Elicit and clarify enhancement requests from business users, focusing on incremental improvements rather than net-new platform design.

  • Translate enhancement requests into clear user stories, acceptance criteria, and functional requirements suitable for development and configuration.

  • Partner with Salesforce Developers and Administrators to refine scope, validate feasibility, and align enhancements to existing platform patterns.

  • Support UAT and functional validation by executing test scenarios, documenting results, and confirming enhancements meet acceptance criteria.

  • Assist in maintaining and grooming a small enhancement backlog, balancing new requests against operational priorities.

Production Stability and Governance

  • Ensure changes adhere to established change control, release management, and auditability standards, especially in public-sector or regulated environments.

  • Help identify opportunities to reduce recurring issues and technical debt through clearer requirements, documentation, and process improvements.

  • Support periodic review of Salesforce seasonal releases by helping assess potential business impacts and recommended mitigations.

  • Strong analytical skills for data review, reporting, and issue analysis.

  • Demonstrated experience working in break/fix or managed services environments, including ticket-based support.

  • Ability to clearly document business processes, requirements, and functional designs.

  • Strong communication skills with the ability to translate between technical and non-technical audiences.

  • Experience supporting public-sector Salesforce implementations or regulated environments.

  • Familiarity with Salesforce integrations and the ability to analyze integration-related issues (no development required).

  • Salesforce Business Analyst, Administrator, or Advanced Administrator certification.

  • Experience working in Agile or hybrid-Agile delivery models.

  • Prior experience supporting government clients, audits, or compliance-driven programs.
