Role Description

For our customers who wish to get the most value out of Salesforce with enterprise and rapid support, delivered by our most skilled experts, they purchase our Signature Success Plan.

With a continual focus on your customers’ business needs, you will help to improve their overall technical and operational health, helping them to realize the maximum value out of their Salesforce investment. You will act as a point of contact for any major customer incidents, being responsible for managing expectations and communications through the resolution of such incidents. 

This position will focus on our Digital Signature customers, driving customer advocacy and reducing attrition by collaborating with Digital Sales partners, expanding our Signature coverage, consume Premier entitlements, and by making strategic customer investments that foster trusted growth and success.

These activities will enable you to proactively set the customer up for success through optimization of the platform, with special care during critically important peak events.

• Act as an advocate for customers during the triage and resolution of high severity cases to assist with the timely resolution of these issues.
