About Salesforce

Salesforce is the #1 AI CRM, where humans with agents drive customer success together. Here, ambition meets action. Tech meets trust. And innovation isn’t a buzzword — it’s a way of life. The world of work as we know it is changing and we're looking for Trailblazers who are passionate about bettering business and the world through AI, driving innovation, and keeping Salesforce's core values at the heart of it all.

Ready to level-up your career at the company leading workforce transformation in the agentic era? You’re in the right place! Agentforce is the future of AI, and you are the future of Salesforce.

Role Description

You are customer-obsessed and serve as the strategic partner and point of accountability for the success of our most complex MuleSoft enterprise customers. You have a deep curiosity to learn customers' unique culture, business processes, and integration challenges in order to tailor the best possible customer success program for their needs. Unlike traditional software where value is unlocked at implementation, MuleSoft value is realized through continuous adoption, optimization of integration architectures, and expansion of API-led connectivity across the enterprise.

You maintain a relentless focus on your customers' business goals, partnering to ensure a smooth transition from implementation to long-term value realization. You act as the voice of the customer internally, partnering cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, and Sales to drive high adoption, satisfaction, retention, and expansion.

Your Impact

• Serve as the single point of customer accountability responsible for orchestration, value realization, adoption, and expansion.
• Orchestrate the Relationship: Serve as the strategic partner for the customer, collaborating during the implementation phase to ensure seamless transition to adoption and long term value realization of integration and API initiatives.
• Drive Adoption and Consumption: Proactively manage and maintain the roadmap for platform adoption. Drive optimization of API usage, integration patterns, and automation aligned to the customer's digital transformation goals to ensure they're getting full value from their investment.
• Demonstrate ROI: Define, track, and demonstrate quantifiable business impact and ROI. Move the conversation from API calls to value (e.g., process automation gains, operational efficiency, faster time-to-market) to drive long-term value realization.
• Executive Relationships: Represent Salesforce with expertise and credibility, partnering with and presenting to senior client executives (CIOs, CTOs, Enterprise Architects) and cross-functional stakeholders.
• Identify New Use Cases: Proactively scout the customer's business to identify new integration opportunities and use cases that align with business objectives and drive additional platform adoption.
• Remove Barriers and Manage Risk: Act as the primary orchestrator to proactively identify and minimize risks, remove blockers for adoption, and anticipate obstacles before they impact customer success. Address technical hurdles, architecture questions, and business process friction that prevents scaling of integration capabilities across the enterprise.
• Drive Expansion: Build the business case for expanding MuleSoft footprint across additional business units, use cases, and integration patterns. Partner with the Sales team to secure renewals and drive expansion of the contract.
• Voice of the Customer: Partner cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, and Services to represent customer feedback and critical issues with a focus on outcomes, not just escalation.
• Partner with Customer Architects: Ensure the integration architecture and API strategy is optimized to support increased connectivity, reusability, and scalability, preventing technical debt from throttling expansion.
• Champion Center for Enablement: Act as a trusted advisor. Build and nurture a Center for Enablement (C4E) within the customer organization to drive bottom-up adoption, governance best practices, and peer-to-peer advocacy of API-led connectivity.
• Commercial Strategy and Lead Generation: Act as the primary engine for growth. You are responsible for identifying signals that indicate a customer is ready for contract upsell and partnering with Sales to build the business case for increased investment.

Minimum Requirements

• Work experience in Customer Success, Enterprise Sales, Professional Services, Technology Consulting, or SaaS platform implementation with demonstrated expertise in integration technologies.
• Proven success managing large, complex enterprise accounts with multiple stakeholders and business units
• Established ability to develop relationships with senior executives (Director/VP level) and influence technical strategy
• Deeper technical knowledge of integration architectures, API design patterns, and platform best practices
• Demonstrated history of driving incremental Annual Contract Value (iACV) through expansion sales
• Integration Platform Experience: Experience with MuleSoft and/or relevant competing Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) platforms with understanding of API-led connectivity, system integration patterns, and enterprise architecture principles.
• Adoption and Expansion Mindset: Proven track record of driving platform adoption, managing complex enterprise accounts, and identifying expansion opportunities within existing customer relationships.
• Strategic Problem Solving: A strategic, customer centric approach to problem solving focused on driving business value and outcomes, not just resolving technical issues.
• Communication: Exceptional communication and presentation skills with proven ability to translate technical concepts into business terms and partner with senior client executives from IT teams to C-level.
• Project Management: Strong orchestration and project management skills, including scope control, stakeholder alignment, timeline ownership, and executive-ready reporting.
• Agility: Demonstrated ability to thrive in fast paced, high growth environments, with willingness to wear multiple hats and confidence challenging norms to drive customer outcomes.

Preferred Requirements

• MuleSoft Certifications: MuleSoft Certified Integration Foundations, MuleSoft Certified Platform Architect, MuleSoft Catalyst Consultant, or Salesforce AI Associate certifications are a strong plus.
• Technical Background: Experience with software development processes, design methodologies, APIs, web services, databases, cloud platforms, and modern integration patterns.
• Consulting Experience: Background in management consulting services with track record leading cross-functional teams to facilitate resolution of complex business and technical challenges.
• Expansion Track Record: Proven history of uncovering new opportunities within existing accounts and partnering with Sales to close expansion revenue. Experience with 'Land and Expand' account strategies.
• Industry Context: Experience working with Enterprise level customers across industries requiring complex integration strategies (Financial Services, Healthcare, Retail, Manufacturing, etc.).
• AI and Agent Technologies: Foundational understanding of AI and agent technologies. Awareness of how AI capabilities can enhance automation, improve customer experiences, and drive business value through intelligent workflows. Curiosity and willingness to learn how AI augments traditional integration approaches.
