• Track and report Salesforce-influenced and co-sell pipeline, maintaining accurate data in CRM
• Set pipeline generation targets for the team and hold direct reports accountable

AGENTFORCE CONTACT CENTER STRATEGY

• Develop and maintain Bandwidth's value proposition for Salesforce's Agentforce contact center — articulating why Bandwidth is the right carrier partner
• Understand the competitive landscape in contact center carriers (Twilio, Vonage, NICE, Genesys, Five9, etc.) and keep Salesforce informed of Bandwidth's differentiation
• Work with Bandwidth product and marketing teams to ensure Salesforce-relevant content, case studies, and technical documentation are current
• Support Salesforce field teams in positioning Bandwidth on active contact center pursuits

EVENTS & EXECUTIVE PRESENCE

• Plan and execute Bandwidth's presence at Salesforce events: World Tour London, Dreamforce (San Francisco), World Tour New York, and other regional events
• Represent Bandwidth at Salesforce partner summits, QBRs, and advisory boards

• Deep understanding of the contact center market — platforms, carriers, competitive dynamics
• Experience managing and developing a team
• Exceptional executive presence and relationship-building skills

Bonus Points:

• Experience with Salesforce's AppExchange ISV program or Salesforce Partner Program

• Network within the Salesforce Agentforce / Einstein for Service team

What Success Looks Like — First 12 Months
