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.

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.

Role Description
Our customers who drive the most value out of Salesforce rely on the Signature Success program and team. Signature Success aligns on each customer's needs, strategic objectives, and maturity. Customers are then supported through long-term plans that align the right people, skills, coaching, and oversight to help customers achieve tangible results through Salesforce products. Insights and analysis are provided along the way to drive comprehensive support. The primary orchestrators driving Signature delivery are our versatile Customer Success Managers (CSM).

This position is within our Account Success team and focuses on our Digital Signature customers, driving customer advocacy and reducing attrition by collaborating with Digital Sales partners, expanding our Signature coverage, consuming Premier entitlements, and by making strategic customer investments that foster trusted growth and success.

CSM Directors are able to research, synthesize, and develop insights and actions from market intelligence & customer feedback. They will also hire, coach, manage, and support a team of individuals with a variety of backgrounds. The primary responsibility of the CSM Director is to accomplish Signature delivery across a given book of business, through their CSM team. This role requires customer centricity, partnership, resourcefulness, flexibility, and a highly driven demeanor.
