Senior Salesforce AdministratorJob Description
- Reports To: VP, IT & Security
- Job Type: Full-Time
- Location: Remote
Position SummaryThe Senior Salesforce Administrator is responsible for the configuration, administration, and optimization of BS&A's Salesforce ecosystem, including Sales Cloud, Revenue Cloud (Salesforce CPQ & Salesforce Billing), Service Cloud, Experience Cloud, Professional Services PSA, and Financial Cloud. This role centers on secure, reliable operations: user and permission management, org configuration, high-quality data, and robust automation via Salesforce Flows. The Senior Administrator partners closely with Finance, IT, Customer Success, and Business Operations to deliver new functionality, enable reporting, and execute releases in coordination with the Salesforce Developer and integration teams, ensuring system stability, scalability, and alignment with company objectives.
Critical Specialization RequirementsThis role requires demonstrated, hands-on depth in Salesforce CPQ and a track record of delivering enterprise-scale Salesforce financial implementations. These are not nice-to-haves; candidates without verifiable production experience in both areas will not be considered.
CPQ Expertise (Required)- Minimum 2 years of dedicated, hands-on Salesforce CPQ administration in a production environment - not incidental exposure, not classroom or sandbox-only experience.
- Mastery of the full quote-to-cash lifecycle: opportunity quote contract order invoice renewal/amendment, including co-terming, proration, and mid-term changes.
- Proven ability to design and maintain complex pricing models: tiered pricing, block pricing, percent-of-total, contracted pricing, discount schedules, and multi-currency.
- Experience authoring and maintaining advanced Quote Output Templates, including conditional sections, dynamic line items, and integration with Omni-Studio and/or Conga Composer.
- Working knowledge of CPQ guardrails and known limits (e.g., large-quote performance tuning, calculation sequencing, package settings, and CPQ-Billing handoffs).
- Comfortable troubleshooting CPQ calculation errors, price waterfall issues, and twin-field/legacy API behaviors without escalation.
- Salesforce CPQ Specialist certification strongly preferred; equivalent demonstrable production experience accepted in lieu.
Major Salesforce Implementation Background (Required)- A demonstrable history of contributing as a core team member to a major, multi-cloud Salesforce implementation - ideally one spanning the full quote-to-cash and project-delivery lifecycle, rather than a single point solution.
- CPQ / Quoting: Hands-on experience with Salesforce CPQ or Revenue Cloud - product and pricing configuration, quoting, amendments and renewals, and order generation across both subscription and one-time products.
- PSA / Project Delivery: Experience with a professional services automation platform such as Certinia PSA - projects created from closed orders, milestones, time and project billing, and the handoff from delivery into billing and revenue.
- ERP / Finance: Experience with a Salesforce-native billing and accounting layer such as Certinia ERP, Salesforce Billing, and RightRev - billing, invoicing, and revenue recognition.
- Direct experience partnering with Finance, Controllership, Revenue Operations, Professional Services, and external implementation partners on quote-to-cash and order-to-cash transformations.
- Working familiarity with the financial concerns that shape these programs: revenue recognition (ASC 606), billing schedule design, invoice presentation and consolidation, dunning, payment application, deferred revenue, GL coding, and audit/SOX controls.
- Experience with data migration on a Salesforce implementation - accounts, products, active subscriptions, open contracts, in-flight projects, and billing schedules - including reconciliation back to source systems.
QualificationsEducation & Certifications- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or related field.
- Salesforce Advanced Administrator Certification - Required.
- Salesforce Platform Administrator II and/or Platform App Builder - Preferred.
- Salesforce CPQ Specialist Certification - Preferred.
- Certinia PSA, Revenue Management, and/or ERP certifications - a plus.
- Other combinations of education and experience may be considered.
Experience- 8+ years as a Salesforce Administrator or Consultant supporting multi-cloud environments.
- Strong expertise with Salesforce Flows, the security model (profiles, permission sets, sharing), and environment/release execution.
- Hands-on experience with CPQ & Salesforce Billing and Experience Cloud.
- Familiarity with adjacent integrations (e.g., HubSpot, Certinia, RightRev, Snowflake, Tableau, Power BI); able to partner with developers on changes.
- Solid data stewardship: processing, validations, deduplication, imports/exports, and reconciliations.
