Salesforce Administrator

Overview

Salesforce is iMentors system of record for mentor recruitment and screening and for fundraising. It is a large mature org with substantial custom configuration fed continuously by several connected systems.

Youll be working alongside Recruitment Screening Program and Development colleagues who are in direct contact with mentors and students every day the data you steward is what makes that work possible. Its a good fit for someone who gets real satisfaction from finding the one broken field before anyone else notices whod rather build a system that catches problems automatically than rely on repeated manual fixes and who likes being the first to know somethings wrong not the last to hear about it.

This role owns that data. Not just the configuration the data itself: whether it is correct whether it is protected and whether the systems feeding it are working. When a record arrives incomplete when Salesforce drifts out of step with the Platform or when a field silently truncates and a mentor application disappears you are the person who finds out first and traces it back to the source.

You will report to the Director of IT and work with Recruitment Screening Program and Development. You will also be a first point of contact for colleagues who need help getting something out of Salesforce and your job there is to make them more capable rather than to become their queue.

We have rolled out Claude across the organization. It is daily practice here not an experiment and this role is expected to use it: drafting flows analyzing logs writing documentation first-pass triage. The judgment about what is right stays with you.

Responsibilities

The data is correct

• Maintain data integrity across a large org with extensive custom configuration
• Build and maintain reconciliation checks between Salesforce and its source systems so that drift surfaces automatically rather than being discovered by a colleague
• Deduplicate contact and household records; manage imports and extracts
• Recognize and prevent silent data loss the class of failure where a source field exceeds a Salesforce limit and a record is rejected with no error reaching anyone
• Own the data-quality standard for what correct means and be able to evidence it

The data is protected

• Administer users profiles roles permission sets sharing rules and field-level security on a least-privilege basis
• Run periodic access reviews so that permissions are actively maintained rather than accumulated

• Follow iMentors policies on credential handling software installation and third-party access to iMentor systems and raise concerns early
• Support the organizations SOC 2 work with evidence from your area
  • This is data stewardship within the systems you administer. It is not an information security role; you will have security colleagues.

The integrations work

• Own the integrations that feed Salesforce: FormAssembly (mentor applications) our in-house Platform Campaign Monitor Eventbrite DocuSign Calendly DemandTools and our donation tools
• Diagnose failed and partial records end to end using connector and integration logs alongside Salesforce and trace root cause back to the source system rather than patching the symptom at our end
• Configure and maintain field mappings record-matching criteria and upsert keys
• Be consulted on changes to any system that writes into Salesforce so that schema and process changes upstream do not arrive as surprises

Teams are Unblocked

• Triage and resolve requests through our ticket queue keeping non-technical colleagues clearly informed in writing
• Train and enable staff through materials demos and sessions so that routine requests become self-service over time
• Document configuration workflows and the reasoning behind decisions so that knowledge does not sit with one person
• Administer NPSP including households affiliations relationships recurring donations and rollup behavior and support Development on donation data and campaign structure
• Manage the three annual Salesforce releases: review release notes test in a sandbox (scheduled outside business hours where needed) and communicate what is changing

First 90 Days

• Build a working map of every system that writes into Salesforce what it writes and how failures currently surface
• Stand up reconciliation checks between Salesforce and at least two source systems so divergence is detected automatically
• Complete a full access review and bring permissions to least privilege
• Clear the inherited backlog in the support queue and establish what routine looks like

Qualifications

• At least 3 years of Salesforce administration experience in an organization with 100 users
• Demonstrated experience troubleshooting integrations between Salesforce and third-party systems including reading logs to establish root cause
• Experience with data import export and deduplication at scale
• Experience administering users profiles permission sets and sharing rules
• Experience supporting users through a ticketing system
• Able to explain a technical constraint and its trade-offs to a non-technical colleague in writing
• Comfortable using AI tools in daily technical work and disciplined about verifying their output before it reaches production. We care more about your judgment on when an answer is wrong than about which tools you have used
