Are you an experienced business consultant looking to help the most ambitious businesses succeed with Salesforce?

We use the Salesforce Customer Success Platform and cutting-edge technology, innovation, strategy and design skills to enhance our customer's transformation into world-class digital businesses.

The Business Strategy Manager helps our strategic customers transform their business. They work with customer’s business leaders & technology teams to understand what is possible and desirable, and get stuck into the detail on how to do it, using all the power of our platform to realise their strategy.

- Actively work between the Business & Technology disciplines to industrialise the best ideas with new digital operating models and ways of working
- Enhance productivity and consensus through persuasion, workshops and intimately understanding our customers businesses. Help end-users uncover and articulate barriers, and co-design potential solutions to their needs.

- How end users (customers, employees, sales people etc.) perform their jobs
- Industry challenges and solutions
- Salesforce’s continuously evolving clouds

**Resilience**
