About Us

We are driven by a commitment to integrity, compassion, innovation, and optimism. As a leader in the animal welfare sector, we're dedicated to a brighter future for both animals and our community.

The Opportunity
We are seeking an experienced Salesforce Administrator to take ownership of a critical, high-impact capability at an exciting stage of organisational growth.

As the organisation’s internal Salesforce expert, you will support and train users, translate business needs into effective system solutions, and ensure the platform continues to evolve as the organisation grows.

This opportunity can be a fully remote one, with a preference for 1 day per week to be based in our office in Coombabah.
