This may involve managing project timelines, resources, risks, and dependencies. Familiarity with Agile methodologies (e.g., Scrum) is highly desirable, including leading sprint planning, backlog grooming, and daily stand-ups.

• Technical-Business Translation: Act as a liaison between business users and technical teams, effectively communicating complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and vice-versa.

• Quality Assurance & Testing: Support testing phases by creating test cases, coordinating User Acceptance Testing (UAT), managing defect resolution, and ensuring the quality and functionality of Salesforce solutions.

• User Adoption & Training: Facilitate user training sessions, provide ongoing support, and develop user-centric documentation (e.g., guides, demos) to promote effective adoption of new Salesforce features and processes.

• Process Improvement: Analyze existing business processes and identify opportunities for automation and enhancement within Salesforce to improve efficiency and productivity.

• Data Management: Support data analysis and ensure data integrity within the Salesforce platform.

• Stakeholder Communication: Maintain strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders, providing regular updates on project progress and addressing concerns promptly.

• Continuous Learning: Stay up-to-date with the latest Salesforce innovations, features, and best practices, actively bringing new ideas and learnings to the organization.

• Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Information Technology, Computer Science, or a related field.

• Salesforce Administrator Certification.

• Salesforce Business Analyst Certification (if available).

• Other relevant certifications such as CSM, CSPO, or PMP.

• Proven experience ( 3-5+ years) as a Business Analyst, Project Manager, or Technical PM/BA, with a strong focus on Salesforce implementations and digital transformation projects.

• Experience with end-to-end Salesforce implementation lifecycles (requirements to deployment).

• Familiarity with various Salesforce Clouds (Sales Cloud, Service Cloud) and AppExchange apps.

• Experience with Agile delivery frameworks and managing sprints/backlogs.

• Strong understanding of Salesforce platform functionalities, configuration, and customization capabilities.

• Familiarity with Salesforce development tools (Apex, Visualforce, Lightning) is a plus, though coding expertise may not be strictly required.

• Knowledge of system integrations, especially given SmartenUp’s expertise in MuleSoft and Flowgear.

• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to break down complex business processes and translate needs into practical solutions.

• Strong attention to detail and ability to identify and resolve issues.

• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to articulate technical information clearly to diverse audiences.
