Salesforce Administrator Assistant at VisionSpring

Job Description

• VisionSpring is a pioneering social enterprise that recently surpassed the billion-dollar impact mark by correcting the vision of over 6 million people. With backing from leading foundations, governments, and corporate partners—and a fast-growing footprint—we are expanding our reach to bring affordable eyewear to more people globally.
• We’re looking for a highly motivated, dynamic, and self-driven individual to join our team as a Salesforce Administrator Assistant. This is a unique opportunity for someone passionate about IT support and data systems to contribute to meaningful social impact through technology.
• In this role, you’ll support the daily operations, maintenance, and optimization of our Salesforce platform. Reporting directly to the Salesforce Manager, you’ll be a key member of our lean, agile IT team—ensuring our systems run smoothly and empowering teams across the organization to do their best work.

About You

• You're curious about Salesforce and excited to grow your knowledge of CRM systems and how they can drive mission-driven work.
• You’re highly organized and detail-oriented, with a knack for follow-through and ensuring nothing slips through the cracks.
• A true team player, you find satisfaction in supporting others and contributing to shared goals.
• You thrive in fast-paced, evolving environments and adapt easily as priorities shift.
• You take pride in delivering high-quality work, whether it’s entering data accurately, updating reports, or troubleshooting user issues.
• You're a natural problem solver—you enjoy digging into challenges, researching solutions, and making things work better.
• You bring a strong service mindset, always looking for ways to help teams work more efficiently through smarter systems and tools.
• You’re eager to learn on the job, grow your technical skills, and play a key role in keeping systems running smoothly.

About Us

• VisionSpring increases lifelong earning, learning, safety, and well-being through eyeglasses for people vulnerable to poverty. We believe in the wonder of clear vision for everybody.
• We sell and deliver radically affordable optical products and services and develop markets for eyeglasses—a 700-year-old technology that has failed to reach 1 billion people in need of vision correction, most of whom live on less than $4 a day.
• We serve low-income consumers, not as beneficiaries but as customers. Our customers expect quality, affordable products and eyecare services, and will spend limited discretionary income for the immediate and tangible benefits of vision correction.
• As a social enterprise, we are purpose first. We blend philanthropic and earned revenue, draw on non-profit and business practices, and use sales and efficiency metrics and social impact measures to bring vision correction to ever more people.
• We catalyze collaborative action in an expansive, multisector partner network and use our evidence and experience to influence systems change and close the global clear vision gap.
• We believe in scaling our impact, not our organization. We are a lean team of doers.
• Our big goal: Everyone who needs eyeglasses will have them by 2050.
• We run our operations on metrics and social impact measures. We leverage a range of processes and practices to get the work done.
• We believe in scaling our impact, not our organisation. We are a lean team of doers.
