*Internally this role is titled Account Strategist, Sales Operations*

About The Role:

Role Mission: To execute world-class GTM architectures and Salesforce configurations that transform our clients' CRM environments into high-velocity revenue engines.

You are the technical champion. While the Director of RevOps defines the high-level architecture and leads the pitches, you own the execution. You are responsible for making the blueprint a reality within Salesforce, ensuring data hygiene, routing logic, and reporting are flawless.

What you Bring

  • Technical Prowess: You are a Salesforce wizard. You think in ERDs. You know when to use a Formula Field vs. a Flow. You have battle scars from messy data migrations.

  • Consultant Mindset: You don't just take tickets; you ask "Why?" You can explain to a Sales Manager why a specific validation rule is going to save their team 5 hours a week.

  • Agency DNA: You understand that Time is Money. You are disciplined with time-tracking and thrive in a high-velocity, multi-client environment.

  • Precision-Obsessed: You have a "double-check" culture. You wouldn't dream of pushing a Flow to production without testing it in a Sandbox first


Requirements

  • 4+ years of deep Salesforce Administration/Strategy experience (SaaS experience preferred).

  • 2+ years in a client-facing agency or consultancy is highly preferred.

  • Expert-level knowledge of Salesforce Flows (Workflows and Process Builder are "dinosaurs" to you).

  • Experience with the modern RevOps stack: LeanData, Gong, Outreach/Salesloft, and CPQ tools.

  • Proven ability to manage multiple projects concurrently without dropping the ball.

  • Salesforce Certified Administrator (Advanced Admin or Platform App Builder preferred).

Compensation for this role includes a competitive base salary

Medical, dental, vision plans, disability, and life insurance coverage for you and your family that fit your lifestyle
