This role requires a strong grasp of the Salesforce business, advanced marketing fundamentals, and the ability to coach others while navigating cross-functional complexity.

You’re someone who thrives at the intersection of strategy, execution, and leadership—capable of operating with autonomy, influencing senior stakeholders, and driving programs that fuel business growth.
