The office's primary goals are to build and maintain functional capabilities, support innovation, and ensure that all systems are running smoothly, efficiently, and securely to meet the needs of the organization and its stakeholders.
Job Overview
The Office of Information Technology is seeking a Lead Salesforce Engineer/Analyst to join our team. This role will architect, lead, and direct applications built on Salesforce Service Cloud and Experience Cloud and strategize future investments in the platform. The Lead Salesforce Engineer will take ownership of system configuration, workflow automation, and Apex development to improve licensing workflows and public-facing portals. The position requires independent judgement and authority to drive scalable, secure solutions that align with organizational and enterprise IT strategies. The Lead will collaborate across IT and business teams, providing technical leadership and oversight to ensure successful project delivery and long‑term platform governance.
The Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidate has strong hands‑on experience with Salesforce platform development and configuration, including Apex, Flows, and Experience Cloud site management. This individual is comfortable managing the full application lifecycle-analyzing business needs, configuring platform features, developing automation, and supporting integrations. Proven ability to lead cross‑functional teams, influence strategic decisions, and mentor technical staff is essential. Familiarity with batch jobs and third‑party tools is also valuable.
Definition
With minimum direction, the Lead IT Analyst provides technical leadership and direction for major IT projects, and/or serves as the technical authority for one or more related functions, including: network operating systems; software applications; data analytics applications, project/program management; product management; desktop support; system engineering; network infrastructure; database management; cloud services administration; and web server management.
