• Vendor management: evaluate, challenge and guide the solution vendor and system integrators to achieve optimal system performance.
• Support the Salesforce deployment process, especially managed packages; knowledge of Copado, GitHub or Gearset is a plus.
• Manage system administration operations such as sandbox management, change request evaluation and maintenance.
• Keep vendors, system integrators and business teams aligned on key decisions and document specifications clearly for business and technical audiences.
