The Opportunity
The Salesforce Senior Business Analyst & Administrator pairs a strategic analyst's mindset with hands-on Salesforce expertise and curiosity about AI-powered solutions, serving as the connective tissue between business intent and technical delivery. This role supports FICO's growing B2B Scores business as it migrates from siloed tools onto our shared, enterprise Salesforce instance. You'll partner closely with the Scores Product Owner as their Salesforce subject-matter expert, sharpening requirements and shaping solutions that fit how the business runs, including its royalty-based revenue and bureau, reseller, distributor, and direct distribution channels. You'll translate requirements into well-architected Salesforce designs, incorporating AI-assisted workflows where valuable, lead testing, and provide ongoing support post-launch. Working alongside dedicated Administrators, Developers, and Architects, strong declarative fluency lets you design credible solutions and build directly when needed. Success requires initiative, accountability, and strong communication in a fast-paced, matrixed, agile environment, with genuine enthusiasm for experimenting with AI tools.
