Corporate Communications Director

Description
The Experience You'll join Salesforce's Global Communications team as a senior leader at the forefront of how the world's #1 AI CRM tells its story. This role sits at the intersection of media strategy, executive influence, and earned creator programs - owning the infrastructure and playbooks that drive Salesforce's narrative from marquee events to always-on thought leadership. This is a hybrid role with three days in office each week.

What You'll Actually Be Doing

Own integrated media strategy across marquee moments - including product launches, major events, and earnings cycles - developing the "big stories" framework and editorial relationships that drive tier-one coverage and measurable business outcomes

Build and lead earned influencer programs that cultivate authentic relationships with top B2B creators, podcasters, and next-gen media voices, and architect the infrastructure to scale those programs globally

Advise and prepare executive leadership for high-stakes media interactions, proactive risk mitigation, and complex, multi-stakeholder scenarios - turning difficult coverage into fair and favorable positioning

Connect thought leadership programs to product go-to-market moments, driving category creation, media amplification, and pipeline - not just awareness

You're Our Person If...

You have 15+ years of corporate communications experience at a top-tier technology company, with a track record of leading high-impact media and thought leadership programs

You've built communications programs from scratch - including narrative development, media strategy, and influencer infrastructure - that generate verifiable business outcomes

You have deep expertise in crisis communications and managing sensitive, high-stakes scenarios under tight deadlines

You have strong, established relationships with reporters at outlets like the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Bloomberg, Fortune, and CNBC, and with creators across next-gen media platforms

Even Better If...

You've developed repeatable frameworks and playbooks that enable global teams to run always-on programs independently

You're curious about and comfortable applying AI tools and emerging communications technology to your work

You have experience bridging earned and paid influencer activation across a large, matrixed organization

You bring familiarity with B2B creator and podcast ecosystems and have a point of view on where next-gen media is heading
