Responsibilities

• Keep a pulse on the outside narrative. Monitor news, social platforms (LinkedIn, X), podcasts, newsletters, and analyst and influencer commentary on our CEO, Salesforce, our competitors, and the AI conversation. Know what’s gaining traction, who is amplifying it, and what it means.
• Keep our CEO’s message consistent. Maintain a living bank of messaging, language, and approved stories so positioning doesn’t drift and every appearance builds on the last.
• Ground everything in what’s been said. Use transcripts, coverage, and past remarks to keep content accurate and avoid contradicting ourselves.
• Flag what matters, fast. Give our team timely, concise reads on emerging narratives, risks, and openings, including a short daily or weekly narrative brief. Recommend whether and how we should engage.
• Work cross-functionally. Partner with Product PR, the Office of the CEO, Government Affairs, Investor Relations, and other teams to align on messaging and gather input.
• Draft messaging. Draft cue cards, talk tracks, scripts, and fireside chat questions and prep, from first draft to final, on tight and shifting deadlines.
• Support media interviews. Partner with Media Relations to prepare our CEO for press, podcast, and broadcast interviews: research the outlet and interviewer, and build key messages and Q&A. Afterward, flag takeaways and follow-ups, help with fact-checking, and capture strong soundbites for the messaging bank.
• Helps own our CEO’s LinkedIn presence. Write and publish posts in his voice, run the content calendar, and tie every post to the moments and narrative priorities that matter most. Track performance and use it to sharpen what we post next.

• Strong news and narrative judgment. A habit of reading the news and social conversation closely, spotting what’s gaining traction, and judging what matters, what doesn’t, and when to act. Experience with media monitoring or social listening tools is a plus.
