• Design, build, and maintain integrations between Salesforce, marketing platforms, websites, SEO/traffic systems, analytics tools, and financial systems
• Own and maintain the technical infrastructure behind the website, including backend logic, lead capture, routing, tracking, attribution, and performance
• Oversee or directly contribute to API development, middleware, automation frameworks, and backend logic
• Step in for hands-on technical work when needed, particularly around integrations, debugging, rapid implementation, and cross-system workflow improvements
• Manage and oversee contractors, external developers, technical agencies, and platform vendors
• Create and maintain documentation, permission frameworks, SOPs, auditing standards, and governance
• Prioritize and manage multiple competing technical projects and organizational requests
• Serve as the escalation point for systems issues, integrations, and cross-functional technical blockers
• Partner with Marketing, Sales, Finance, and Operations to align systems with business objectives and drive operational efficiency
• Support long-term scalability of the business by enhancing system architecture, integrations, and data flow

• 4-6 years of IT leadership experience, including building IT strategy and systems roadmaps (startup or high-growth environment strongly preferred)
• 2+ years of hands-on Salesforce administration experience (automation, configuration, integrations)
• 2+ years of experience building and supporting system integrations in an organization with substantial marketing and sales operations
• Experience with Net Suite, Zapier or similar automation tools, and AWS or other cloud hosting environments
• Experience managing contractors, agencies, or external developers
• Strong experience integrating websites, SEO-related systems, and marketing platforms with Salesforce and other business systems
• Strong understanding of marketing attribution workflows across paid media platforms (Meta, Google, You Tube, Bing)
• Excellent prioritization skills with experience managing multiple competing tasks and cross-functional requests
• An effective communicator who can translate technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders
• Thrives in a fast-paced, rapidly scaling environment

• Leadership: Work with decision-makers who are shaping the future of medical technology.
