Job description

Senior Salesforce Administrator (Technical Focus)

We are a boutique Salesforce consultancy and Summit (Platinum) Partner delivering high‑impact Salesforce implementations for both Enterprise and SMB clients across Sales, Service, Marketing and Experience Clouds.

We are looking for a Senior Salesforce Administrator based in South Africa, with strong technical skills to own solution configuration, automation, and platform optimization.

You'll work closely with our Technical Architects and Developers, playing a key role in translating complex business requirements into scalable Salesforce solutions that drive real business value. This is not a junior admin role.

You must be confident designing and building sophisticated automations, optimizing data architecture, and supporting multi‑cloud configurations in a consulting context.

What You’ll Do

• Own end‑to‑end configuration: objects, fields, record types, page layouts, validation rules, workflow rules, Flows, and approval processes.
• Design, build, and optimize complex Flows and automation to streamline and scale business processes.
• Collaborate with consultants and architects on solution design, providing input on feasibility and best practice configuration.
• Perform data modeling, data migration (ETL), and ensure data integrity across integrations.
• Manage permission sets, roles, and security models for multi‑org or complex sharing needs.
• Participate in sprint planning, estimates, and contribute to solution architecture discussions.
• Lead internal UAT, regression testing, and documentation following DevOps practices.
• Build dashboards, reports, and analytical tools to support business intelligence needs.
• Mentor junior admins and provide first‑line support to internal and client teams.
• Support pre‑sales activities with technical insights and demonstration builds.

What You Bring

• 3–5+ years experience as a Salesforce Administrator in a mid‑to‑large Salesforce org or consultancy.
• Salesforce Administrator certification required; Advanced Admin, Platform App Builder, or Consultant certifications strongly preferred.
• Experience implementing and optimizing Salesforce Flows (must‑have).
• Strong knowledge of Sales and Service Cloud; Experience Cloud, CPQ, or Marketing Cloud is a bonus.
• Solid understanding of data architecture, relational databases, and integration patterns.
• Advanced Excel/Data Loader/ETL tools experience.
• Experience working in consulting or multi‑client environments preferred.
• Familiarity with Agile delivery and DevOps processes (JIRA, Git, Change Sets, or SFDX).

Why Join Us?

• Work alongside seasoned Salesforce experts in a fast‑growing, high‑performing team.
• Opportunities for certification sponsorship and career progression into solution architecture.
• Flexible remote working environment.
• Contribute to meaningful projects that have tangible impact for our clients.
• Member of Salesforce Talent Alliance and Pledge 1% - we value diversity, equity and social good.
