Qualifications

Essential Skills and Experience

• Proven, hands-on Salesforce experience is essential. Candidates must be comfortable working directly within Salesforce rather than having only general CRM exposure.
• Experience maintaining CRM records, updating contact information, and managing campaign or event-related data.
• Strong administrative and organisational skills, with excellent attention to detail.
• Experience managing a shared inbox, handling enquiries, and responding professionally to stakeholders.
• Ability to work accurately with large volumes of contact and event data.

• Ability to manage multiple tasks, prioritise effectively, and meet deadlines.
• A proactive, reliable, and solutions-focused approach.
• Capacity to work independently in a remote environment while collaborating effectively with a wider team.

Desirable Experience

• Background supporting corporate programmes, event teams, or senior stakeholder engagement initiatives.

• Experience maintaining consent records and supporting CRM data cleansing activities.
• Previous experience within professional services, financial services, or a large corporate environment.
• Experience supporting Non-Executive Directors, senior executives, or other professional audiences.

Previous event management experience is not essential. This is an operational support role, and strong Salesforce capability is the priority.

Ideal Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate is a highly organised, service-oriented professional who enjoys working with systems, maintaining accurate data, and ensuring administrative processes run smoothly.

They will be comfortable managing a busy shared inbox, working through CRM records methodically, and following up on outstanding queries without requiring constant supervision. Dependability, attention to detail, and confidence in following established processes while identifying opportunities to improve efficiency are essential. The ability to handle sensitive information appropriately and communicate professionally with senior stakeholders is also important.

Above all, the successful candidate must have practical Salesforce experience and be ready to contribute quickly within an established team.

Why This Opportunity?

This is an opportunity to support a high-profile executive engagement programme within a leading professional services environment.

The role will contribute directly to improving operational efficiency, maintaining reliable CRM data, and ensuring enquiries and event administration are handled effectively. This support will enable the wider team to focus on delivering valuable events and building meaningful relationships with senior business leaders.
