Salesforce Platform Administrator

Description

 Jet Parts Engineering is bringing its operating companies onto a single Salesforce-based ERP, running operations (MRO, inventory, and work orders) and accounting as managed packages, with planned manufacturing ERP expansion. The Salesforce Platform Administrator will be the in-house owner of this multi-company environment: the first point of contact for users, the steward of data quality, and the person who keeps the platform stable, well configured, and improving as more companies come online. This role joins the JPE Business Intelligence team and partners closely with accounting and operations managers across our companies. On-site at one of our locations in Seattle, WA or Hauppauge, NY.
