Manager, Social Content & Influence Strategy

Salesforce•Chicago, IL

2d•$117,400 - $177,600

About The Position

Join Salesforce’s Social & Influence Marketing team to lead our influencer and industry voice ecosystem, grow our employee advocacy program, and help bring major Product Launches to life across social. This is a dual-track role for someone who is equally comfortable building influencer relationships and shaping social content around a launch moment. You’ll own key programs end-to-end, co-lead Product Launch execution with our Content Strategy & Creative Lead, and bring the cross-functional teams required to deliver the work together. You’re also deeply plugged into culture — someone who understands the conversations, creators, formats, and behaviors shaping social in real time, and can turn that fluency into relevant content and influencer opportunities for Salesforce.

Requirements

5+ years of experience in social media, influencer marketing, content strategy, or related fields, with demonstrated ownership of campaigns or programs from strategy through execution.
Experience managing influencer or creator relationships end-to-end, including sourcing, negotiation, briefing, activation, and measurement.
Hands-on experience developing and shipping social content, including copywriting, editorial planning, content calendars, and campaign execution.
Experience supporting major Product Launches, campaigns, or culturally relevant moments across social.
Strong cross-functional leadership skills, with experience aligning creative, influencer, analytics, and operations partners around shared outcomes.
A track record of developing clear product or solution narratives, ideally informed by customer, creator, or external audience insights.
Strong working knowledge of Instagram and TikTok, including platform behaviors, formats, creator ecosystems, and emerging trends.
Experience managing project budgets and timelines and making sound decisions within moderate ambiguity.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to facilitate discussions, navigate competing priorities, and clearly articulate decisions and trade-offs.
