Data at Unifrog

The Data team’s goal is to inform every Unifrog decision with data. That includes decisions taken by our teammates, university and employer partners, and those taken by teachers and students who log into the Unifrog platform every day.

Our team goal is ambitious in scale and broad in scope, and achieving it requires a diverse team with different skill sets. Our work includes managing external data integrations, analysing how students use the platform, and managing and developing our Salesforce platform.

 

What you’ll do 

As the Salesforce Administrator, you will maintain and enhance our Salesforce platform. Salesforce is central to our partner management processes and reporting. 

We take great care in maintaining our Salesforce organisation to provide an excellent user experience while delivering smart solutions. Your role will ensure Salesforce is robust and valuable, supporting our sales and marketing initiatives across school, university, and employer partnerships.

Your key responsibilities:

Maintaining our Salesforce platform

• Provide day-to-day support for Salesforce users through Jira and Slack. Improve our use of Jira to support the Unifrog team.

• Manage user roles, profiles, permission sets, and security settings to ensure data integrity and compliance with company policies.

• Build out clear and comprehensive documentation on how our Salesforce platform works, which can be used for sales training and future Salesforce development.

• Work alongside our finance team to ensure accurate and robust sales and commission calculations.

• Monitor the platform's health and identify data quality issues using reports, dashboards and alerts.

• Manage our Calendly integration, ensuring activities are recorded and reported accurately and that supporting documentation is up to date.

Developing our Salesforce platform

• Collaborate with stakeholders to align goals and priorities, gather requirements, define processes, and implement solutions within Salesforce.

• Design and implement automation workflows, validation rules, and custom objects to streamline operations and improve data accuracy.

• Proactively identify process improvement and automation opportunities.

  • For example, implement a screen flow to simplify a sales process.

• Conduct thorough testing to ensure any Salesforce development works as expected.

• Stay informed about Salesforce updates, best practices, and industry trends to recommend enhancements and drive continuous improvement.

 

Working together

Your projects will see you work closely with individuals across the company in our sales, finance and data teams. You’ll work closely with our Junior Salesforce Business Analyst who supports the team with Jira requests and reporting.

You will work closely with your line manager, the Head of Data and Insights, to define strategy and priorities.

You may be required to work alongside external Salesforce consultants.

 

What we’re looking for

• 2+ years of experience as a Salesforce Administrator or in a similar role.

• Proficient in Salesforce configuration, flows, process automation, and reporting.

• Experience with data management tools (e.g., Data Loader, Excel).

• Strong analytical skills and the ability to translate business needs into technical solutions.

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

• An ability to distil complex requests into practical solutions.

• Strong attention to detail, especially when writing documentation and updates to the broader team.

• Salesforce Administrator Certification is preferred but not essential.

 

You will join a team of highly motivated people passionate about our mission of helping students find the best next step for them after school. If our mission and the job responsibilities excite you, and you’re an energetic person willing to learn, we’d love to hear from you.

Your answers are an opportunity to let us know more about your motivations and experience. While we understand that candidates might want to use AI to improve parts of their application, we strongly encourage you to write your answers independently.

Please note, we compare all answers to an AI generated answer. Where we suspect AI has been used to write the majority of the answer, this will be taken into consideration when scoring.

 

Inclusion and diversity at Unifrog
 

• Within the company we try to foster a culture of innovation, and a happy working environment, both because this is the right thing to do, and because we think this results in the most effective team. To this end we believe in open communication, celebrating successes, supporting each other, not being afraid to be wrong or to fail, and promoting good ideas wherever they come from.

• As a platform that supports teachers and students from a huge variety of backgrounds it’s important that our team and leadership reflects this diversity. This is something we are actively working towards and prioritising. We want to embed diversity, equity and inclusion across everything we do, continually evaluating policies and practices to make sure they are inclusive and equitable.

• To make sure everyone’s voice is heard and people have the opportunities to learn to be better allies in the workplace, we encourage the team to share what they’re celebrating, facilitate training and group discussions, and seek regular feedback about what more the company could do to help people feel included.

• To ensure that our recruitment process is consistent and fair, we anonymise your application and therefore do not see your name, personal, educational or professional background. We also randomise the order of responses so that it’s less likely that a candidate is advantaged or disadvantaged by where their answers appear compared to other candidates.
