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.
As a 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 managing expectations and communications through the resolution of such incidents.
This CSM role will work with Tableau customers to understand their business objectives and provide technical guidance to deliver business value. They will partner with sales and orchestrate internal resources to drive customer health, increase user adoption, and reduce attrition.
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 the ability to work closely across internal and external teams to provide a unified Signature experience.
