• Access requests and approvals aligned to least-privilege standards
• Support access reviews and audit readiness by maintaining clear records of changes and approvals.
  

Data Quality, Integrity, and Governance

• Own data quality controls and standardization efforts to improve trust in Salesforce reporting and workflows.
• Implement and maintain controls such as:
• Required fields and validation rules
• Duplicate prevention (matching rules/duplicate rules where applicable)
• Controlled updates and imports (Data Loader or governed tools)
• Establish recurring data hygiene routines (cleanup, normalization, field usage governance, stale record management) to keep the system clean and usable.
  

Reporting, Dashboards, and Operational Visibility

• Build and maintain reports and dashboards that support business execution and leadership visibility.
• Validate report logic against business definitions and ensure dashboards remain accurate as processes evolve.
• Improve adoption of reporting by standardizing naming, folder structure, and KPI definitions.

• Develop and maintain training and enablement materials:
• Job aids and quick reference guides
• Standard process documentation
• Onboarding content for new users
• Monitor adoption trends and identify friction points, then recommend improvements that reduce workarounds and increase consistency.
  

Proactive Platform Health & Continuous Improvement

• Proactively manage platform health and readiness by:
• Reviewing Salesforce seasonal release impacts and preparing user-facing changes
• Performing periodic system reviews (Optimizer/Health Check-type assessments where applicable)
• Identifying underutilized features and recommending improvements
• Maintain a “known issues + enhancements” backlog and continuously drive down operational pain points.
