Job Responsibilities

Design, build, and optimize automation using Flow Builder, validation rules, custom objects, and declarative tools to streamline advisor and operations workflows.
• Lead new feature development, data architecture changes, and integration projects with limited oversight, ensuring enhancements align with industry best practices and firm strategy.
• Manage CRM data integrity, execute large-scale migrations (especially during M&A events), and oversee sandbox-to-production deployments.
• Act as the go-to resource for advanced Salesforce troubleshooting, cross-functional project support, and user enablement through training and documentation.

Competencies

• Strong problem-solving and systems-thinking mindset, with an ability to simplify complex processes and architect scalable solutions.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to collaborate across departments and translate business needs into platform functionality.
• Highly self-sufficient, capable of managing end-to-end projects with minimal hand-holding or external guidance.
• Familiarity with Salesforce release cycles, platform updates, and AppExchange tools commonly used in financial services.

Education/Experience

• 5+ years of Salesforce administration experience, including at least 2 years in Financial Services Cloud or wealth management-related environments.
• Demonstrated expertise in building Flows, managing data migrations, creating custom objects, and supporting cross-system integrations.
• Salesforce Administrator Certification is required; Advanced Administrator and/or Platform App Builder is strongly preferred.
• Prior experience leading Salesforce-related initiatives in a fast-paced, regulated industry such as RIAs, broker-dealers, or financial planning firms.

Why Us?

• We are an advisor-built firm with incredibly talented people, an authentic culture, and a fast-growing business.
• Our world-class culture is our top priority, offering perks such as fitness classes, internal and networking events, continuing education support, and much more.
• We built our firm to put our client’s best interests first and always. Our advisors and professionals are committed to providing thoughtful, independent advice to high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth clients, businesses, and institutions.
• In addition to being part of a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment, our firm provides the following benefits:
• • Competitive compensation structure
  • 401(k) Plan
  • Employer health savings account
  • Medical & vision insurance
  • Continuing education support
• Salary range for this role: $100,000 - $130,000

Passionate about its people, this firm invests a lot of time, energy, and resources in them, and they are genuinely excited to come to work on Monday morning.

Unfortunately, they can’t provide immigration-related sponsorship for this role (e.g., H-1B, TN, STEM OPT, etc.).
