The Role

Cardiff is looking for a Junior Salesforce Administrator to support the day-to-day administration of our Salesforce environment. You’ll work closely with our senior Salesforce Administrator, Salesforce Developers, and business stakeholders to keep the system secure, accurate, and easy to use.

• Maintain permission sets, profiles, roles, and field-level security under the direction of the senior admin.
• Support Salesforce security by running access reviews, monitoring user activity, and following security best practices.
• Do data cleanup, including duplicate management, imports, exports, and mass updates with Data Loader or similar tools.
• Build and maintain reports and dashboards for business teams.
• Build and update simple Flows, such as basic record-triggered and screen Flows, with review from senior team members.
• Configure fields, picklist values, page layouts, list views, and validation rules.
• Test changes in sandbox and help with UAT and regression testing.
• Document processes, configuration changes, and common fixes.
• Help users with training, questions, and getting the most out of Salesforce.
• Escalate complex issues, such as automation conflicts or integration errors, to the senior admin or development team with clear notes on what you found.

Required Qualifications

• Salesforce Certified Administrator certification
• 1–3 years of hands-on Salesforce Administrator experience
• Experience managing users, profiles, permission sets, and roles

Preferred Qualifications

• Salesforce Certified Platform App Builder or other Salesforce certifications
• Basic knowledge of SOQL
• Exposure to sandbox testing and change sets or other deployment tools
