Position Summary

The Growth Enablement Team (GET) is a robust sales support team with the goals of improving sales experiences, efficiency, and win rates. GET provides support across several key pillars: sales education programming; sales technology, reporting, and analytics; sales prospecting; sales opportunity support (RFPs, orals); and sales asset content and visual design. This remote team consists of US-, Canada- and India-based team members that support all industries and capabilities within Huron.

Huron is seeking an Associate to execute CRM data management and Salesforce administration in support of sales data quality across our internal CRM and analytics ecosystem, with a primary focus on Salesforce, our enterprise data lakehouse, and BI tools. Working within the Data, Analytics & AI pillar and partnering closely with the data governance function, this role keeps opportunity, account, contact, lead, case, and pipeline data clean, consistent, and reporting-ready. The role is hands-on: investigating data quality issues, executing mass updates and remediation safely, and helping bring consistency to standardized reporting. This is an execution and analysis role operating inside a heavily customized, multi-system integrated ecosystem. It does not own system design: changes to validation rules, automation, code, security model, or integrations remain with IT Salesforce Product Support, and all configuration changes follow the standard design review and approval path before implementation.

The position consolidates routine CRM data execution that currently passes between GET Data & Analytics, GET Salesforce Ops/Business Support, and IT Salesforce Product Support, giving that work a dedicated owner. The ideal candidate is a certified Salesforce Administrator with 2-4 years of relevant experience who works on more complex issues following defined parameters and methodologies, requires limited oversight to complete assignments, is genuinely curious about applying AI and automation to manual data work, and is eager to develop data engineering and Databricks capability over time.

Responsibilities

The Associate executes and maintains sales data quality within Salesforce and downstream systems, turning governance standards into clean, trustworthy data in the system. They partner cross-functionally with Growth Enablement, IT Salesforce Product Support, Analytics, and the Data Governance function to investigate and resolve data issues, execute large-scale corrections, and support trusted sales data that enables effective decision-making. Supports the quality, integrity, and ongoing management of sales and CRM data across Salesforce and related systems. Performs data quality analysis, bulk data remediation, and approved Salesforce data administration activities; investigates and resolves data issues; and applies established governance standards to maintain accurate, consistent, and reporting-ready data. Partners with Growth Enablement, IT, Analytics, and Data Governance teams to support trusted sales data and improve data management processes, including opportunities for automation and AI-enabled efficiencies

Key responsibilities include

Mass Data Operations & Remediation: Execute bulk updates, corrections, and remediation across Salesforce objects (Accounts, Contacts, Leads, Opportunities, Activities, Cases) safely and accurately when data issues arise, applying validation, backup, and rollback discipline to protect data integrity. Routine operations run with limited oversight; changes above an agreed risk threshold are reviewed before execution.

Data Quality Investigation & Root-Cause Analysis: Investigate data quality problems (completeness, conformity, validity, duplicates, hierarchy integrity, stage aging, activity hygiene), trace where issues originate, identify patterns, and recommend upstream fixes rather than repeated manual cleanup.

Salesforce Data-Scoped Configuration & Execution: Execute approved, data-scoped configuration that directly supports data quality, working to IT Salesforce Product Support technical standards and testing in sandbox before production. Representative work includes: field-usage analysis and deactivation of unused or deprecated fields; duplicate and matching rule tuning and record merges; configuration of CRM data quality tooling (e.g., RingLead normalization, segmentation, and enrichment mappings); picklist value maintenance and restricted-picklist hygiene; account hierarchy, ownership, and record-type corrections; and report type, list view, and dashboard inventory cleanup. This role does not design or independently modify validation rules, flows, triggers, Apex, the security model, or anything affecting integrations or managed/shared components; it analyzes, recommends, and executes those changes only after IT design review and approval.

AI & Automation of Manual Data Work: Identify recurring manual data tasks that could be automated or AI-assisted, maintain and prioritize a working backlog of those opportunities, prototype approaches using approved tools, and report results with evidence such as effort saved, erro
