    • Perform data-quality analysis, reconciliation, migration validation, corrections, and completeness checks across interconnected Salesforce applications and data flows.
    • Validate account lifecycle activities, including setup, reactivation, deactivation, and Experience Cloud user-access requirements.
    • Review Help Desk ticket trends and incoming issues to identify recurring defects, root causes, and opportunities for quality and process improvement.
    • Participate in training-needs assessments and support the creation, review, and validation of user-facing guidance and training materials.
    • Produce and maintain QA documentation, test evidence, traceable results, UAT guidance/scripts, and other quality records needed to support release decisions and audits.
    • Recommend improvements to testing methodologies, QA processes, documentation practices, data-quality controls, and delivery workflows.

    EDUCATION/EXPERIENCE/EXPERTISE REQUIREMENT:
    • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, Business Systems, Quality Assurance, or a related discipline.
    • Minimum 4 of experience performing quality assurance and structured testing for enterprise applications, including development of test plans, test cases, scripts, acceptance criteria, and documented results.
    • Strong understanding of Salesforce platforms and application ecosystems, including Service Cloud, Experience Cloud, CRM Analytics, data flows, and system integrations.
    • Experience with functional, regression, integration, UAT, accessibility/Section 508, and security-related validation activities.
    • Experience identifying, documenting, tracking, and validating defect resolution using Jira or a comparable issue-management platform.

    • Experience working within Agile methodologies, sprint cycles, backlog refinement, demonstrations, and structured release-management processes.
    • Ability to analyze complex technical information, system workflows, data conditions, and integration behavior and communicate findings clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
    • Strong analytical, problem-solving, organizational, documentation, and attention-to-detail skills.

    PREFERRED EDUCATION/EXPERIENCE/EXPERTISE:
