Manager, Employee Communications

Salesforce Salesforce · Enterprise · Indianapolis, IN +1

Salesforce is seeking a Manager, Employee Communications to join their Global Employee Communications team. This role will focus on creating strategic content, managing marquee event communications, ensuring editorial excellence, and overseeing video program operations. The ideal candidate will have strong writing, editing, storytelling, and project management skills, with experience in video production and data analysis. While the company heavily emphasizes AI in its products and vision, this specific role is in employee communications and does not involve direct AI/ML development or research.

What you'd actually do

  1. Serve as lead producer on our internal short-form video series — driving creative direction, pitching ideas, shaping scripts, sourcing talent, and partnering with editors and stakeholders to bring stories to life in ways that inspire and excite employees.
  2. Own the full communications strategy and execution for our marquee internal events — from building and managing a complex, multi-workstream comms plan to writing and editing the actual communications that inform, inspire, and move employees to act.
  3. Write, edit, and refine a wide range of internal communications — from event messaging and video scripts to podcast briefs and executive voice content — with a consistent ability to match brand tone, simplify complex ideas, and make every word earn its place.
  4. Lead operations for the internal short-form video program, including documenting best practices, defining roles & responsibilities, maintaining a production playbook, and serving as the primary liaison with the contract video editor.
  5. Provide ongoing data analysis and KPI dashboard management to assess the effectiveness of communications and channels — leveraging insights to inform and continuously improve our approaches.
