• Evaluate the business impact of customer risks to prioritize resources, establish clear action plans, and accelerate resolution timelines.
• Deliver clear, structured, and factual status updates in English to customer leadership and internal stakeholders, with Arabic language capability supporting customer engagement where appropriate.
• Analyze incident trends and root causes to identify operational gaps and drive systemic enhancements across Salesforce processes and products.
• Facilitate alignment across matrixed organizations to ensure customer expectations are managed transparently and effectively.

• Proven capability to lead through multi‑stakeholder business challenges with composed, structured problem‑solving and clear judgment.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with a track record of translating complex concepts into business outcomes for executive audiences.
• Ability to drive timely action and influence cross‑functional teams without direct authority.
• Practical experience using enterprise CRM tools and collaboration platforms (e.g., Salesforce platform, reports, dashboards, Slack).
• Professional working fluency in English (written and verbal) for executive‑level communication and documentation.
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience.

Preferred Qualifications

• Arabic language proficiency is strongly preferred, particularly for customer‑facing engagement across the UAE and wider Middle East region.
• Commercial experience developing strategies that improve customer retention and business outcomes.
• Familiarity with the Salesforce product ecosystem, customer deployment patterns, and enterprise use cases.
• Experience utilizing AI‑driven insights, analytics, or automated reporting tools to assess customer health metrics and mitigate risk proactively.
