Marketing and Community Manager

The Research & Insights team plays an integral role in helping to transform the future of Salesforce. We ask our customers important questions because their honest feedback is crucial to our company's growth. Our organization analyzes data to drive innovation and decision-making that reflects the reality of how our customers use Salesforce - in, between, across, and around product clouds. Our findings inspire stakeholders to build better experiences and develop products that best serve our customers' needs. From the initial spark of an idea to our customer success, we share holistic and deep insights that balance both business and customer needs.

We are looking for a self-starting, team-oriented, and passionate marketer to develop and drive an internal and external marketing strategy to further elevate the great work our team is doing to our different stakeholder groups. The Marketing and Community Manager role is an opportunity to support a growing team that is responsible for collecting customer feedback at scale through both IdeaExchange, Salesforce's public-facing feedback tool, as well as our internal Voice of the Customer tool.

Job Details:

The IdeaExchange helps Salesforce collect customer feedback and insights at scale. Voice of the Customer is Salesforce's internal tool used to collect customer feedback from customer-facing Salesforce employees (e.g. sales and support teams). These two tools align to give Salesforce a 360° perspective on our customers' jobs to be done, which informs our product teams' roadmaps. This position will place you right at the center of the action, providing an opportunity to make an impact on our customer's product experience and guide our product teams' vision for the future of Salesforce products.

The Marketing and Community Manager will develop the internal and external marketing strategy for these feedback tools and the programs that support them; create assets and materials to support marketing efforts; track and manage program milestones; perform stakeholder management; and collaborate cross-functionally to deliver on our marketing strategy.
