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.
Role Description
The Customer Success Adoption team is looking for a highly driven and collaborative Product Adoption Specialist to lead research and strategy for Platform Adoption.
This is a high-impact, cross-functional role that blends rigorous research, data analysis, and program execution. You will act as the bridge between product innovation and customer realization. You won't just track adoption; you will investigate why customers struggle, identify the "Adoption Paths" that lead to healthy operations, and codify those insights into scalable programs. You will synthesize insights into strategic recommendations that influence Product, Customer Success, and the Digital teams, helping us move from "high-touch" intervention to "high-scale" digital guidance.
Sample Projects You'll Lead

• Evolve Platform "Adoption Paths": Analyze usage patterns across our most successful customers to identify the specific feature combinations that drive high retention and agent productivity. (e.g. Security, Infrastructure, etc.)
• Friction Analysis & Resolution: Lead deep-dive research into stalled implementations to categorize common "failure modes" and then design programmatic interventions to solve them at scale.
• Release-Based Adoption Strategy: Proactively analyze Platform roadmaps to identify high-value opportunities and create the strategy for how we encourage customers to adopt new innovation immediately upon release.
• Digital Strategy Partnership: Partner with our Digital Success teams to translate your research into automated guidance, providing the subject matter expertise needed to digitize our success methodology.

Your Impact

• Drive Roadmap Adoption: Ensure that as new Platform features drop, we have a clear plan for how to drive their usage so we can keep customers on the cutting edge of the platform.
• Scale Success: Move our adoption strategy from relying solely on CSMs to utilizing data-backed recommendations that inform our digital channels and scaled programs.
• Operationalize Value: Create the frameworks that allow customers to measure not just usage (e.g., "we set up the console") but outcomes (e.g., "we reduced case resolution time by 20%").
• Empower the Field: Equip our field teams with the data-backed playbooks and narratives they need to drive healthy adoption conversations with Platform leaders.

What We're Looking For

• 8+ years in Management Consulting, Strategy, or Customer Success roles, ideally with a focus on B2B Service/Support operations.
• Strategic Problem Solving: Proven ability to generate strategic insights that drive measurable business outcomes, moving beyond data reporting to actionable recommendations.
• Platform Operations Fluency: Familiarity with the metrics that matter to Platform leaders.
• Adoption Architect: Experience taking a complex technical product and breaking it down into a step-by-step maturity model or success methodology.
• Data-Driven Mindset: Strong analytical skills with the ability to identify trends, build frameworks, and guide decisions through data (SQL/Tableau proficiency is a plus).
• Curiosity & Empathy: A strong desire to "learn the struggle" and interview frustrated admins/business users to get to the root cause of adoption blockers.

Preferred Qualifications

• MBA or advanced degree in business, analytics, or related field.
• Experience with Platform and familiarity with impacts to Sales/Service clouds
• Proficiency in data visualization tools (e.g., Tableau, CRM Analytics).
• Passion for innovation and the future of customer success.
