CRM User Support and Enablement
•    Serve as a friendly, accessible first point of contact for basic CRM questions, such as how to enter information or locate a report. Document recurring questions, issues, and user feedback.
•    Provide basic guidance on required fields, record standards, tagging, and established CRM workflows.
•    Escalate complex configuration, reporting, data-model, or workflow issues as needed.

What you will need to succeed
•    3-5 years of experience in marketing operations, marketing project management and coordination, CRM or database administration, in a professional services firm (preferably AEC).
•    Strong organization and follow-through, with the ability to manage recurring responsibilities and multiple small initiatives.

•    Ability to follow established standards consistently and ask questions when expectations are unclear.
•    Strong attention to detail in data entry, documentation, reporting, and file organization.
