We’re now looking for a Salesforce Applications Analyst to join a cross-functional business applications team, supporting and developing a large Salesforce implementation at one of the UK's most successful media outlets.

You will be working collaboratively with Salesforce developers and administrators as well as engaging with stakeholders across the business supporting with core Salesforce products such as Service Cloud, Sales Cloud, Marketing Cloud and Pardot.
About the Role:
* Support user queries and requests for changes and improvements, acting as the face of Salesforce for the rest of the business.
* Identify risks, issues and opportunities and solve user and system issues in a timely and efficient manner.
* Configuring and customising Salesforce in a complex environment, working with large data volumes with a structured approach to systems analysis and enhancement.
* Work with the Integration/Development team and other technology staff to ensure that applications are performing efficiently.
* Work with business partners and technology staff to maintain integration between applications.
* Create and maintain application support documentation, cascade Salesforce knowledge across the wider team and deliver ad hoc application training.
About you:
* Demonstrated experience in a Salesforce administration or Salesforce support role.
* Deep understanding of Cloud technologies and traditional client-server technologies.
* Knowledge of CRM processes and tools.
* Good communication skills, both written and verbal, in order to relate technical issues and solutions to non-technical people in a clear and informed manner.
* Strong analysis skills, able to understand, develop and articulate business requirements before designing and developing.
* Committed to continuous improvement, able to drive positive change with an enthusiastic approach.
* Salesforce ADM201 certification would be desirable but relevant work experience will also be considered.
