About the Epilepsy Foundation New England

Established in 1983, Epilepsy Foundation New England, Inc. (EFNE) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization serving people living with epilepsy and their families through connection, education, advocacy, and direct support. We are committed to building a world where individuals with epilepsy can live full and empowered lives—free from stigma, supported by community, and equipped with the resources they need to thrive.

Position Summary

EFNE’s Systems Administrator will help EFNE deliver connection, resources, and other services to people living with epilepsy by ensuring that its systems work seamlessly, effectively, and collaboratively.

These systems currently include Salesforce Nonprofit Success Pack, Salesforce Experience Cloud, Bloomerang, Zapier, Voter Voice, On Board, SharePoint, JotForm, and others. The Systems Administrator needs to be effective with the technical aspects of this role, but must also bring the skills of a business analyst and be fueled by delivering good service to the team.

• Develop and implement processes that improve the team’s workflow and ease the recording and retention of data.
