About The Position

The Senior Writer & Editor role is part of the Creative team within User Experience & Creative Design (UXCD) and supports the Digital Success organization within the broader Customer Success ecosystem. This is a hybrid editorial and writing role that shapes how customers experience Agentforce and Salesforce products across every touchpoint: written, visual, and conversational.

The position also involves defining quality standards by contributing to and enforcing style guide rules and using AI tools for reviews. This role requires someone who thrives on variety and ownership, making judgment calls on tone, clarity, and customer experience, and coordinating review cycles. The work environment is fast-paced, and the candidate must be comfortable building structure as processes evolve.
