- Implement changes to business processes, ensuring seamless integration with Salesforce while minimizing disruptions.
- Provide training and technical support to internal users, ensuring effective adoption and best practices in Salesforce utilization.
Within one year, you will:
- Serve as the Salesforce technical lead for development projects, collaborating with teams to design and implement strategic improvements.
- Develop a long-term strategy for Salesforce enhancements, aligning system capabilities with business needs and evolving technology trends, and potential recommendation for structural changes to our Salesforce system.
- Establish reporting frameworks and dashboards to provide data-driven insights for decision-making at various organizational levels.
