The CRM & Business Systems Senior Officer will play a key role in ensuring the Academy’s core business systems are effective, well managed and continually improved, with particular responsibility for Salesforce and the systems and integrations that connect with it.
Working as part of the Business Information team, you’ll be a key internal specialist for Salesforce, providing practical support and advice to colleagues across the Academy. You’ll undertake hands-on administration and configuration, investigate and resolve issues, and work with teams to understand their needs and translate them into practical system improvements.
Responsibilities
You’ll also work across our wider business systems, helping us understand how information flows between platforms, improve integrations and data exchange, reduce duplication and identify opportunities to simplify or automate processes.
On a typical day, you might:
•
administer and configure Salesforce, including users, permissions, reports, dashboards, data and other configuration;
•
investigate a system problem and identify the appropriate solution, resolving it yourself where possible or working with an external partner where specialist development is required;
•
meet with colleagues to understand a business requirement and turn it into a practical systems solution;
•
configure and implement straightforward Salesforce improvements;
•
support testing and implementation of larger developments;
•
support and improve other business systems and integrations;
•
work with external suppliers and development partners to resolve technical issues and deliver improvements;
•
identify opportunities to improve processes, reduce manual work and make better use of automation;
•
support good data quality, reporting, information governance and system documentation; and
•
produce guidance, deliver training and help colleagues make confident and effective use of Salesforce and other systems.
This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys solving problems and improving how systems work. We’re looking for someone who can take ownership of issues, work independently and proactively identify opportunities for improvement, while building strong relationships with colleagues and external partners.
The role will provide dedicated specialist capacity for Salesforce and related business systems and help the Business Information team take a more proactive approach to systems development and improvement.
