  • 1–2 years of Salesforce Administrator experience.
  • 1–2 years of experience in sales operations or sales analytics.
  • Salesforce Administrator Certification (ADM-201) or plans to obtain certification within the first year.
  • Experience helping build or significantly expand a Salesforce organization from the ground up, or participating in a major Salesforce implementation.

  • Experience integrating Salesforce with third-party applications.
  • Experience supporting a Salesforce data migration from one CRM or Salesforce org to another.
  • Experience working in the media industry.

Within your first year, you'll help establish a scalable Salesforce foundation that supports Axios' revenue organization by:

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
