  • 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.

  • Experience with Salesforce Sales Cloud and/or Service Cloud and/or a relevant competing platform.
  • 4+ years’ experience in management consulting services,
  • Exceptional communication and presentation skills with demonstrated ability to communicate and influence effectively at all levels of the organization, including executive and C-level.
  • Skills for analyzing technical concepts and translating them into business terms and mapping business requirements into technical features.
  • Ability to explain complex technical concepts in business-friendly terms to customers, then explain customer needs to internal partners.
  • Knowledge of software development process and design methodologies.
  • Experience leading efforts of cross-functional teams to facilitate the resolution or disposition of customer needs or projects.
