Salesforce is the #1 AI CRM, where humans with agents drive customer success together. Here, ambition meets action. Tech meets trust. And innovation isn't a buzzword - it's a way of life. The world of work as we know it is changing and we're looking for Trailblazers who are passionate about bettering business and the world through AI, driving innovation, and keeping Salesforce's core values at the heart of it all.

Ready to level-up your career at the company leading workforce transformation in the agentic era? You're in the right place! Agentforce is the future of AI, and you are the future of Salesforce.

In order to fuel the growth of our AI solutions, Salesforce is undergoing a significant transformation in how we drive and scale customer value through consumption. As the company pivots toward consumption-based growth models across key product lines - Agentforce, Data Cloud, Mule Soft, and Commerce - there is a critical need to define and operationalize the cross-functional Go-To-Market (GTM) strategy that enables this shift.

We are seeking an experienced Sr. Manager to accelerate Salesforce's consumption transformation by shaping how Customer Success (i.e. post-sale function including Customer Success Managers, Renewals Specialists, and Product Specialists) will need to transform with the company's enterprise-wide Consumption Strategy across the spectrum of consumption roles, metrics, tools. This role will accomplish this by addressing a strategic gap at the intersection of GTM design, Customer Success strategy, cross-product alignment, operational execution, and bridging teams across Customer Success.

It will also require partnering with Sales, Partners, Professional Services, Finance, Product, and Systems to execute against complex, interdependent, work streams.

This person will be the central strategist pulling all the pieces together for Customer Success to bring a proactive and holistic point-of-view to the rest of the company of how Customer Success should be included in the consumption journey. At the same time, this person will be taking in dependencies/decisions for other teams and determining the impact to Customer Success teams, and orchestrating the pivots needed in Customer Success for a cohesive go-to-market strategy for Salesforce, as a whole, to best drive growth at our customers.

The ideal candidate is a strategic visionary with a strong bias for action, who thrives on driving clarity in ambiguity, working in a fast-paced environment, aligning cross-functional executive collaborators, and thinking globally and across the entire enterprise. You possess the ability to navigate a complex multi-product and multi-role environment in which end-to-end accountability for the consumption journey is shared across multiple organizations - and excel at bringing it all together.

You have the ability to navigate from the 10,000 ft view, to rolling up your sleeves to cover gaps with a "get it done" attitude. You are also flexible and adaptable to new challenges at hand.
