About Salesforce

Salesforce is the #1 AI CRM, where humans with agents drive customer success together. Here, ambition meets action. Tech meets trust. And innovation isn't a buzzword - it's a way of life. The world of work as we know it is changing and we're looking for Trailblazers who are passionate about bettering business and the world through AI, driving innovation, and keeping Salesforce's core values at the heart of it all.

• Communicate the value of Signature Success. Be accountable for ensuring all collaborators understand this value so that customers continue to renew Signature Success.
• Act as an advocate for customers during the triage and resolution of high-severity cases to assist with the timely resolution of these issues.
• 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.
