About Melita
Melita is an HR, Benefits, and Payroll outsourcing company, serving and building lasting relationships with small and mid-sized employers in the U.S. and abroad. We were founded over 30 years ago on a simple principle: to help our clients succeed by innovating, serving, and supporting their Human Resources, Employee Benefits, and Payroll needs. As a results-driven organization, we hold ourselves accountable for our promises and we celebrate the successes of our clients. As we scale, we are investing heavily in Salesforce, automation, and AI to raise the bar on what an HR outsourcing partner can deliver.
Position SummarySalesforce is Melita's system of record and the platform our entire service model runs on. It is where client work is tracked, where our teams plan their day in MyWorkspace, and where our Event Checklist case engine, Onboarding Wizard, and client-facing MyMelita portal all live. The Salesforce Administrator keeps that platform healthy, secure, and continuously improving, and is a driving force behind how we extend it with automation and AI.
This is a hands-on role for someone who knows the Salesforce platform deeply and is excited to work in a heavily customized, fast-moving org. You will own the day-to-day administration, partner with our developer on larger build work, and help lead our adoption of Agentforce, CData Connect AI, and automation that removes manual effort across the business. If you want real ownership of a platform that genuinely matters to the company, this role may be a great fit for you.
