Equally important is the ability to understand the business processes and objectives that our CRM platform supports. The successful candidate will possess a solid understanding of marketing and sales concepts, including customer journeys, lead management, funnel progression, segmentation, attribution, and conversion processes.
This individual will work closely with Marketing, Sales, Operations, Technology, and other business stakeholders to understand business needs, translate requirements into technical specifications, and implement solutions that improve organizational efficiency and effectiveness.
Responsibilities

- Gather, analyze, and translate business requirements into technical specifications, CRM configurations, workflows, integrations, and automation solutions.
- Apply an understanding of marketing funnels, lead lifecycles, customer journeys, segmentation, attribution, and conversion processes to technical solution design.
- Evaluate proposed business processes and requirements to identify technical dependencies, risks, data implications, and opportunities for improvement.
- Understand and manage relationships between standard and custom CRM objects.
- Develop and maintain data validation, normalization, standardization, and quality-control processes.
- Support data imports, exports, migrations, and bulk updates, including appropriate testing, validation, and reconciliation.
- Collaborate with Data & Analytics and other technology teams to ensure CRM data is structured and accessible for reporting, analysis, and downstream systems.
- Design, configure, maintain, and troubleshoot HubSpot workflows and business process automations.
- Support automation requirements across Marketing, Sales, Customer Service, and other operational functions.
- Implement and maintain lead management, lifecycle progression, segmentation, lead scoring, routing, and nurturing automation.
- Evaluate workflow triggers, enrollment criteria, branching logic, dependencies, and potential conflicts.
- Investigate automation failures and unexpected behavior to identify root causes and implement lasting solutions.
- Support the administration, monitoring, and troubleshooting of integrations between HubSpot and other enterprise platforms.
- Apply foundational understanding of APIs, authentication, webhooks, data mapping, and synchronization concepts.
- Investigate integration failures, synchronization discrepancies, and unexpected data behavior.
- Serve as a technical escalation point for complex HubSpot issues involving configuration, data, workflows, permissions, and integrations.
- Independently investigate escalated issues to identify root causes and deliver definitive, sustainable solutions rather than temporary workarounds.
- Apply structured troubleshooting and analytical methodologies to isolate issues and determine appropriate corrective actions.
- Provide technical guidance to users and business stakeholders regarding CRM functionality, configuration, and best practices.
- Develop and maintain CRM operational reports and dashboards related to data quality, platform utilization, workflow performance, and business processes.
- Support business reporting requirements through appropriate data structures, configuration, and CRM functionality.
- Stay current with HubSpot platform updates, capabilities, technical enhancements, and CRM administration best practices.
