Context and purpose of role

At the Ramblers, our ability to connect with supporters, manage members, and empower volunteers depends on the smooth running of our CRM (Salesforce). The CRM Operations Analyst plays a vital role in making this possible.

By managing day-to-day CRM operations, handling imports, selections, and user support, you ensure that colleagues across the organisation can trust the data they use and work efficiently. Your contribution means communications are targeted and accurate, volunteer and supporter records are reliable, and teams can focus on their mission rather than system issues.

Your work ensures that colleagues can rely on accurate data and smooth processes, so supporters receive timely communications, members feel well served, and volunteers have the information they need to play their part.

Key Responsibilities

User Support & Administration

• Provide first-line technical support for Salesforce, resolving user issues related to access, new fields, layouts, and general functionality, escalating complex configuration or system-wide issues to the Senior Database Administrator where required.

• Provide guidance to staff on how best to use Salesforce for their day-to-day needs.

• Maintain and update user accounts, roles, and permissions.

• Deliver basic in-house training sessions and user guides to support adoption.

Data Management & Imports

• Manage regular data imports

• Run reconciliations with Finance to ensure CRM records align with income systems.

• Support data quality initiatives, including deduplication and validation.

• Maintain GDPR consents, preferences, and data hygiene standards.

Reporting & Dashboards

• Build and update simple CRM reports and dashboards.

• Help staff use reports effectively, and create custom reports where needed

• Collaborate with the Analyst Engineer and Data Analyst to ensure consistency between CRM and business insights dashboards.

Configuration & Changes

• Make declarative (no-code) changes to Salesforce (e.g. page layouts, fields, validation rules, workflows).

• Support the Senior Salesforce DBA in testing and deploying small changes.

• Help enforce configuration standards and document processes.

Integrations & Pipelines (Support Role)

• Monitor automated data flows between Salesforce and other systems (e.g. Azure Data Factory pipelines, Mailchimp).

• Escalate complex pipeline or automation issues to the Senior Database Administrator or Analytics Engineer.

• Support basic configuration tasks to ensure reliable system-to-system connections.
