We work in seven countries in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia, supported by an office in the UK. Since inception we have helped over 23 million people access improved water, sanitation and hygiene services.

• Implement the migration of the CHAIN database from Salesforce Classic and Partner Portal to Salesforce Lightning and Partner Central Community.
• Analyse and document key elements of the existing system and formulate solutions to streamline and standardise these
• Develop customised solutions within the CHAIN Salesforce platform
• Work with system users to understand user journeys, gather feedback, and coordinate user experience testing.
• Support testing and deployment of technical developments
