What the job involves
- 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, MuleSoft, 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, workstreams
- 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
- GTM Transformation: You'll lead the design and evolution of consumption roles, responsibilities, and metrics across the Customer Success function
- Multi-Stakeholder Alignment: Orchestrate decision-making across VP+ stakeholders to drive alignment on GTM accountability, coverage models, compensation strategies, and role clarity
- Storytelling: Build points-of-view that are both quantitative and qualitatively driven to influence the direction of Customer Success
- Consumption Insights: Lead discovery of the current state consumption business through deep analysis of the business and stakeholder interviews; identify strengths and deficiencies, and key trends to inform recommendations into future potential strategic changes to increase consumption growth
- Field Execution & Adoption: Translate strategy into executable plans for field teams, including the launch and refinement of the Consumption Plan, and clear roles and responsibilities across jobs to be done by each customer-facing role in Customer success
- Broad Relationship Building: Build strong relationships and influence a broad set of stakeholders across the company, including Sales, Partners, Professional Services, Finance, Product, and Systems
- Data & Systems Strategy: Drive business case development and technical requirements to support integrated consumption insights, and pass off to the downstream teams for prioritization and implementation
Our take
Salesforce is a global cloud computing company, best known for its on-demand, comprehensive customer relationship management (CRM) solutions. The company was launched to mitigate the doubts that business owners felt regarding third party companies holding their data.
By providing essential, customer-oriented CRM software, Salesforce places itself at the heart of digitised businesses. Furthermore, by building out its AI capabilities, the company removes the complexity of AI, enabling any business to deliver smarter, personalised and more predictive customer experiences.
Due to the continued innovation offered by the company, over 150,000 companies, both big and small, are growing their business with Salesforce today. Despite a tumultuous 2023 filled with activist investors, a boardroom shake-up and the unprecedented step-down of Co-CEO Bret Taylor, Salesforce continues to close several acquisition deals and managed to drive up its stock value by 96% from the end of 2022 to 2023.
