  • Support Salesforce initiatives by gathering requirements, analyzing workflows, validating configurations, and assisting with testing and implementation.
  • Participate in system testing, user acceptance testing (UAT), defect tracking, and production validation.
  • Analyze Child Support Services workflows and ensure technology solutions appropriately support program and operational requirements.
  • Assist with reporting, documentation, stakeholder communication, and ongoing system enhancements.

  • Familiarity with government or public-sector human services programs.
  • Experience with Agile/Scrum methodologies, including user stories, backlog refinement, sprint planning, and UAT.
