Our team is talented, energized and driven by a strong passion to get more people on bikes by making bicycling safer, convenient and accessible. We have ambitious goals, work in a fast paced environment and are committed to success – and we have fun while we do it!
BTA is seeking a highly organized and self-motivated individual to join our team to administer our SalesForce contact and donor database.
In this increasingly important and dynamic position, the Database Administrator will collaborate with staff across all departments. This position is integral to the BTA in creating and implementing tools and procedures to increase data efficiency and usability. We are looking for an individual with strong analytical and problem solving skills, who loves data and loves to talk to people about data. SalesForce certification is not required, but candidates should possess a proven ability to effectively utilize contact databases.
Key outcomes expected:
• Implementation of comprehensive plan to manage data integrity and security.

• Set up and maintain regular processes and procedures. Perform quality assurance on deliverables and work products. Audit, uncover and resolve data integrity issues.
• Create and manage custom lists, online forms, naming convention and uploads.
• Manage internal operations systems and processes.
The ideal candidate will possess:
● Moderate to advanced experience with SalesForce. Let’s be honest here, if you can’t operate our database, we are unable to hire you.
● A strong commitment to BTA’s mission.
● A love of problem solving and creating new and innovative ways of addressing issues.
● Energy, enthusiasm and a professional attitude.
● Experience with database administration, system maintenance, database development or data warehousing, and experience in analytics.

● Degree in information technology, computer software, computer science or similar education and experience.
The BTA is an equal opportunity employer. We believe strongly that relevant experiences are better indicators of performance than educational degrees. All employees must be team players. We love people who bicycle, but do not hire based on how people get to work. We do expect that our employees embrace our mission and vision for creating livable, healthy and sustainable communities.
