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.

About Salesforce
 

We're Salesforce, the Customer Company, inspiring the future of business with AI + Data + CRM. Leading with our core values, we help companies across every industry blaze new trails and connect with customers in a whole new way. And, we empower you to be a Trailblazer, too — driving your performance and career growth, charting new paths, and improving the state of the world. If you believe in business as the greatest platform for change and in companies that do well and do good, you've come to the right place.

Our vibrant Trailblazer Community plays a crucial role in our success by fostering collaboration, knowledge sharing, and continuous learning across Salesforce's growing ecosystem.

About the Role
 

The Trailblazer Community Team is looking for a Community Manager to own the end-to-end digital community experience for the new unified Trailblazer Community on Slack.

This role sits at the intersection of community strategy, operations, and member experience. You'll be the program-side owner of our digital community— shaping how millions of Trailblazers connect, learn, and grow in the agentic AI era. From onboarding and channel strategy to moderation, analytics, and Dreamforce activations, you'll lead the day-to-day and long-term experience of one of Salesforce's most strategic community investments.

If you're a community builder who thrives in a fast-moving launch environment, is energized by cross-functional collaboration, and knows how to make complex platforms feel effortless and human — we want to hear from you.
