Job Details

The Experience
You'll join Salesforce's Global Communications team as a senior leader at the forefront of how the world's #1 AI CRM tells its story. This role sits at the intersection of media strategy, executive influence, and earned creator programs - owning the infrastructure and playbooks that drive Salesforce's narrative from marquee events to always-on thought leadership. This is a hybrid role with three days in office each week.

What You'll Actually Be Doing

  • Own integrated media strategy across marquee moments - including product launches, major events, and earnings cycles - developing the "big stories" framework and editorial relationships that drive tier-one coverage and measurable business outcomes

  • Build and lead earned influencer programs that cultivate authentic relationships with top B2B creators, podcasters, and next-gen media voices, and architect the infrastructure to scale those programs globally

  • Advise and prepare executive leadership for high-stakes media interactions, proactive risk mitigation, and complex, multi-stakeholder scenarios - turning difficult coverage into fair and favorable positioning

  • Connect thought leadership programs to product go-to-market moments, driving category creation, media amplification, and pipeline - not just awareness



You're Our Person If...

  • You have 15+ years of corporate communications experience at a top-tier technology company, with a track record of leading high-impact media and thought leadership programs

  • You've built communications programs from scratch - including narrative development, media strategy, and influencer infrastructure - that generate verifiable business outcomes

  • You have deep expertise in crisis communications and managing sensitive, high-stakes scenarios under tight deadlines

  • You have strong, established relationships with reporters at outlets like the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Bloomberg, Fortune, and CNBC, and with creators across next-gen media platforms



Even Better If...

  • You've developed repeatable frameworks and playbooks that enable global teams to run always-on programs independently

  • You're curious about and comfortable applying AI tools and emerging communications technology to your work

  • You have experience bridging earned and paid influencer activation across a large, matrixed organization

  • You bring familiarity with B2B creator and podcast ecosystems and have a point of view on where next-gen media is heading
