About Salesforce

We’re Salesforce, the Customer Company, inspiring the future of business with AI+ Data +CRM. Leading with our core values, we help companies across every industry blaze new trails and connect with customers in a whole new way. And, we empower you to be a Trailblazer, too — driving your performance and career growth, charting new paths, and improving the state of the world. If you believe in business as the greatest platform for change and in companies doing well and doing good – you’ve come to the right place.

For our customers who wish to get the most value out of Salesforce with enterprise and rapid support, delivered by our most skilled experts, they purchase our Signature Success Plan. When you have Signature, you unlock our deepest level of partnership, most skilled expertise, and tools to stay agile.

As a Marketing Cloud Customer Success Manager (CSM), you will serve as a named resource and partner for Salesforce’s customer organizations. You are a trusted advisor, forging deep relationships with your customers and account teams, maintaining an awareness of key events, needs, potential risks, and value drivers.

With a continual focus on your customers’ business needs, you will help to improve their overall technical and operational health, helping them to realize the maximum value out of their Salesforce investment. You will act as a point of contact for any major customer incidents, being responsible for handling expectations and communications through the resolution of such incidents.

This position will focus on our Signature customers, driving customer advocacy and reducing attrition by collaborating with Sales partners, growing our Signature coverage, consuming Premier entitlements, and by making strategic customer investments that develop trusted growth and success.

These activities will enable you to proactively set the customer up for success through optimization of the platform, with special care during critically important peak events.

This will require deep technical knowledge of the Salesforce platform and Business acumen, and the ability to work closely across internal and external teams to provide a unified Signature experience.

• Proactive Support & Enhancement: Conduct quarterly reviews, identify trends, and provide tailored release recommendations to ensure stability, performance, and feature improvement.

• Internal Relationship Building: Forge strong multidisciplinary relationships with Sales, Engineering, and Product Management to lead and coordinate customer relationships for success and growth.

• The CSM may be required for occasional travel to customer sites and may need to be available for some after-hour or weekend coverage depending on the customer’s need.
