Working alongside the people who run these programs, you'll help make the technology serve what they're trying to accomplish — so a returning learner can pick up where they left off, and an alum's history with UCR is remembered rather than rediscovered. UC Riverside is one of the most diverse research universities in the country and a national leader in moving students up the economic ladder. This is a chance to put deep Salesforce expertise behind that mission, with reach across the full arc of how the university connects with its community.This position is classified as predominantly remote with occasional visits to campus as needed.
