We are seeking a creative and experienced individual to join the NRDC Products Team and help build on a brand new instance of Salesforce as part of a specialized CRM team. The position reports to the CRM Product Manager.
A good CRM system doesn't get delivered off the shelf and then get used as is. It's a constantly iterating system and a living process. And as such requires a great deal of internal focus and ownership, on an ongoing basis, in order to remain useful, relevant, clean, and ultimately valuable. To this end, working with external consultants, NRDC has established a digital product team, with a dedicated CRM team to handle the many areas of strategy and execution necessary to keep the system strong and valuable.
As a Salesforce Administrator you will bring a high level of expertise in the Salesforce platform, and bring focus to improving the system every day for the staff and organization. Ideally we’d love someone with advanced admin skills who can take our game to the next level on day one. We are looking for a professional who has proven systems experience, interpersonal skills, the ability to work strongly in a team, and a desire to help the mission of NRDC.

- Engage in strategic thinking and planning about processes, vision, and improvements;

- Work closely with the others members of the CRM team to arrive at smart, long term-oriented decisions, and cover all of the many disparate areas required for effective management of the platform and people's use of it.
