The Opportunity
We are seeking a Senior Salesforce Business Analyst to be the heartbeat of our Salesforce ecosystem. You won’t just be gathering requirements-you’ll be the bridge between our business visionaries and our technical team.

- Managing project delivery: Own the lifecycle of roadmap items from intake to launch, keeping projects moving forward and stakeholders informed.
- Facilitating Discovery: Lead the conversation with teams across Sales, Finance, Customer Success, Marketing, Legal, and Operations to uncover the "why" behind the request.
- Crafting Stories: Write clear, testable Jira user stories that developers love-complete with acceptance criteria, context, and edge cases.
- Leading Sprints: Keep our development cycle running by refining the project backlog and facilitating bi-weekly sprint planning sessions.
- Guiding the Build: Act as the primary point of contact for developers, offering real-time scope guidance and ensuring the build stays on track.
- Ensuring Excellence: Conduct UAT, review completed work, and own the integrity of our Salesforce data during month-end and quarter-close.

- Proficiency in Jira: You know how to manage a backlog effectively.
- Technical Fluency: A solid working knowledge of Salesforce configuration-objects, flows, validation rules, page layouts, and security.
- The Bridge-Builder: You can translate "business-speak" into technical specs and back again without missing a beat.
- Agile Mindset: You’re comfortable in an Agile/Scrum environment and know how to drive a sprint ceremony.
Preferred Qualifications
- Certifications: Salesforce Admin, Business Analyst, or Advanced Admin credentials.
