Onboarding Specialist (slack)

Salesforce Salesforce · Enterprise · Indianapolis, IN +3

Salesforce is looking for an Onboarding Specialist for their Slack product. This role focuses on helping new customers successfully adopt and integrate Slack into their workflows, acting as a technical partner and trusted advisor during the onboarding phase. The specialist will guide customers through setup, accelerate adoption of key features, support migrations, and champion best practices, ultimately contributing to customer success and reinforcing Salesforce's market leadership.

What you'd actually do

  1. Welcome and Onboard New Customers: Be the friendly, knowledgeable first point of contact after the sale. You'll run initial discovery sessions, build personalized onboarding plans, and ensure a seamless handoff from sales to implementation.
  2. Accelerate Adoption: Help customers get to value faster by spotting adoption gaps, showcasing high impact features, and creating tailored success plans. You'll track meaningful outcomes like time to production, feature adoption, and integration reliability.
  3. Support Migrations: Guide customers through enterprise plan migrations including SSO and any Grid/Enterprise+ plan prerequisites and help troubleshoot blockers like complex integrations or API challenges. You'll be their technical lifeline during this phase and help to keep things moving without sacrificing thoroughness.
  4. Champion Best Practices: Share guidance, translate business goals into practical recommendations, and surface recurring friction points back to Product and Engineering. You're the voice of the customer internally, and a trusted guide externally.
