Salesforce Administrator
New York City, NY - USA
Job Summary
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.

- Be consulted on changes to any system that writes into Salesforce so that schema and process changes upstream do not arrive as surprises
- 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

- Manage the three annual Salesforce releases: review release notes test in a sandbox (scheduled outside business hours where needed) and communicate what is changing
