By joining our rapidly growing Salesforce practice, you will serve as a trusted partner to our clients. You'll bring your first-hand experience, unique perspectives, and functional knowledge to deliver tailored, integrated solutions that solve today's challenges and set the foundation for future success. With support from experienced leaders and a dedicated coach, you will join a collaborative community that invites you to contribute beyond the scope of client delivery.

We are seeking a Salesforce Business Analyst with 3-5 years of experience in a Salesforce consulting or professional services environment. This role is designed for a collaborative, client-facing professional who brings strong business analysis skills and a solid understanding of the Salesforce platform. The ideal candidate does not need to perform hands‑on configuration but should have direct experience supporting Salesforce implementations in a BA capacity.

What You’ll Do:

• - Partner with clients to understand business goals, document requirements, and translate them into clear user stories and functional specifications.
• - Facilitate and support discovery sessions, workshops, and stakeholder interviews to gather and validate business requirements.
• - Collaborate closely with Salesforce configurators, developers, and project managers to ensure requirements are accurately understood and delivered.
• - Analyze complex business processes and break them down into smaller, manageable, and actionable requirements across the full project lifecycle — from discovery through deployment.
• - Maintain and prioritize the product backlog, working with technical teams to refine user stories and define acceptance criteria.
• - Support system integrations by identifying business needs and facilitating collaboration between client stakeholders and technical teams.
• - Contribute to the development and delivery of client-facing deliverables, including process documentation, training materials, and status reports.
• - Evaluate and elevate project issues, risks, or conflicts as needed, offering proactive suggestions to ensure smooth project execution.
• - Contribute to developing and implementing firm‑approved, AI‑enabled solutions for clients, in accordance with company policies on data protection, intellectual property, and professional standards.
• - Stay informed about emerging AI tools and techniques and collaborate with firm leadership to identify compliant opportunities to enhance client solutions and internal processes.

What You’ll Bring:

• - 3–5 years of experience in a Salesforce consulting firm or professional services environment, supporting Salesforce implementation projects in a Business Analyst role.
• - Solid understanding of the Salesforce platform, including core objects, the data model, and key product areas such as Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, and/or Experience Cloud — without the need for hands‑on configuration expertise.
• - Experience facilitating requirements‑gathering sessions and translating business needs into user stories, process flows, and functional documentation.
• - Familiarity with Agile/Scrum methodologies and project management practices.
• - The ability to work within a team environment, supported by strong communication and interpersonal skills.
• - Well‑organized, results‑driven, and the ability to work comfortably in a fast‑paced consulting environment with multiple client engagements.
• - Excellent organizational, verbal, presentation/facilitation, and written communication skills.
• - Willingness to travel for client and team engagements as needed.
• - Comfort with AI: Demonstrated ability to responsibly explore and adopt firm‑approved AI tools to enhance productivity and innovation.
• - Continuous Learning Mindset: Openness to learning and applying emerging technologies, including AI and automation, in alignment with firm policies and client standards.

Qualifications:

• - Bachelor’s degree or equivalent work experience
• - Salesforce certifications (e.g., Salesforce Administrator, Business Analyst) are a plus but not required.
• - Experience in a consulting or professional services environment is required.
