Why is this position open?

1 year ago, we formed the Salesforce social media content and engagement team. As we've grown over this past year, our current community managers are transitioning into full time content roles. We're now in need of some rock star community managers with big personalities and a whole lot of excitement around social media, community building, and hi-tech.

In this role, you'll be able to hone your social media marketing skills, build a strong community of brand advocates, and work closely with product marketers as well as other customer facing departments.

Our team is at the heart of our marketing organization and part of helping our company transform intro a social enterprise. As we continue to grow, we'll continue to need more and more community managers to ensure we're touching all our social media brand mentions.

Describe the current team this person will join, including the reporting structure.

You will be part of a 2 person team reporting to a Manager, and more broadly part of the overall Social Media Marketing team of 8 people reporting to our VP. It's a wonderful team dynamic and we sit closely to marketing SVPs and our CMO.

You will work closely with your direct manager and peers to learn the role. At Salesforce.com, we take pride in fostering a highly collaborative effort, and your team will remain an ongoing resource to train in all aspects of the role, such as learning about engagement best practices and tools used.

What percentage of the candidate's time will be spent on existing products/business, versus items that are new?

Community managers spend 80% of their time working with our existing engagement and collaboration tools (Radian6 and Chatter) and 20% of their time working on content or other projects where help might be needed.

What challenges will this person face on a daily basis?

The main challenge is keeping up with the fast pace and constant change. To be successful you'll need to be able to manage  a lot of social media conversations and follow-up, while successfully staying on top of industry conversations and trending topics.

Time management and creative relationship building skills are critical to
the Community Manager role as you will be balancing new and existing relationships, following up with previous social media mentions, as well as ongoing professional development objectives such as learning about our product marketing skills.

What are the growth opportunities for the person in this position?

Salesforce.com has been an innovator and leader in Cloud Computing for 12 years. In 2012 and beyond we have refocused the company around the Social Enterprise and are taking a leadership position in the next generation of enterprise applications.

Bit of a confusing ad ... You seem to have a strange definition of "Social Enterprise"? That definition is generally accepted as one whose primary purpose is generating a social, rather than financial return, rather than one using Social Media.

Hi Nathan,
I am psyched about social media and psyched about Salesforce.com. My Klout score is 56 but I don't have any community management experience. My experience is more on sales management side. Still I'd like to be considered for this role but none of the links provided work.

Nice! A Klout score of 35 is required. First time I have seen that as a requirement for a position.

2012-06-26 16:45:09

We want to make sure folks are using social. You don't have to be an influencer at this stage but at least active enough on a consistent basis to show you mean business and are tapped into social trends.

Maurice Lomboy

Marketing Team Lead at Tech urSelf, Inc.

Hey Nathan,
Jason Webster from Ongig forwarded this link and I immediately applied for this position.
I was interviewed for a sales rep position a couple months ago but the recruiter at Salesforce said my resume has more marketing experiences.
She said I should "prove it" if I really want to work for this company, which I do. So I followed her advice and researched more on Radian6, chatter and other SaaS platforms.
I applied directly on Salesforce.com and attached an updated resume. I live in the Bay Area and am ready to relocate. When is the best time to contact you? Thank you!

Hi Nathan,
Is 2-3 years experience as a Community Manager a must or is there some flexibility there? While I do have extensive experience in Digital/New Media I have previously never held a Community Manager title.
Thanks!

2012-06-25 13:38:50

Nathan Freitas

Senior Community Manager at salesforce.com

Thanks for asking Anonymous User:) The 2-3 years experience requirement is with social media, not specifically with the title of community manager. I'm looking for rock stars, folks that when we announced have joined our team, get's our community excited. Klout's something we'll look at as well. Does that help?
