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.

This high-impact role is responsible for architecting and leading a proactive, cross-functional program designed to identify at-risk customers and drive targeted interventions that reduce churn and secure long-term loyalty.

You won't just be managing a list; you will be the architect of a global "save" infrastructure. You will unify disparate activities across the company into a cohesive strategy that scales to protect thousands of customers. You will be part of a central orchestration team, working with leaders across Analytics, Sales, and Customer Success to build a data-driven framework that saves our most valuable accounts.

• Predictive Intervention Strategy: Partner with Data Science and Analytics to identify cohorts of risk using data-driven signals.

• Engagement Strategy: Define the scope, duration, and commercial structure for tailored interventions. You will determine the right mix of Success and Services resources needed to bring customers back to health.

• Cross-Functional Governance: Establish and lead a cross-functional core team to drive alignment and execution. You will create a robust governance model for list review, engagement validation, and the documentation of findings for executive leadership.

• Reporting & Analytics: Develop and manage a clear reporting framework to track program progress and demonstrate impact. You will regularly present findings, key metrics, and strategic recommendations to the senior leadership team.

• Stakeholder Management: Serve as the primary point of contact for this initiative, ensuring seamless collaboration and communication between CSMs, AEs, Services, and other key partners.

• Building scalable solutions: Create feedback loops to help continuously long term offers geared towards scalable success for the customers
