Description

Salesforce continues to grow through strategic acquisitions that expand our products, customer reach, and capabilities. The Marketing M&A Integration Operations Sr. Manager plays a key role in making those acquisitions successful — supporting both the planning that happens during due diligence and the execution of marketing integrations after close.

This role bridges strategy and execution. You’ll coordinate marketing integration activities across functions, manage program timelines and budgets, and ensure that new acquisitions are set up for long-term growth through rigorous diligence. It’s a highly visible position that combines operational management, program leadership, and cross-functional collaboration.

If you enjoy bringing structure to complex work, connecting dots across teams, and seeing your planning translate into real business impact, this role is for you.

What You’ll Do

You’ll play a key role in how Salesforce’s Marketing organization plans for and integrates new acquisitions — from diligence through post-close execution. Working closely with Marketing teams, Corporate Development, and cross-functional partners, you’ll help assess new companies before acquisition, plan how they’ll integrate into Salesforce, and operationalize the work that makes those plans real.

This role blends operational management, program leadership, and strategic execution. You’ll bring structure to complex initiatives, coordinate stakeholders across multiple teams, and ensure each integration advances Salesforce’s broader marketing and business objectives. This role is hybrid and will work out of the Salesforce office in Indianapolis, Chicago or Bellevue three days a week.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead Marketing Integration Operations: Manage planning and execution for new acquisitions, with a focus on scaling smaller strategic and tuck-in deals. Coordinate and track integration plans with clear owners and success measures.

• Support M&A Diligence: Partner with Marketing M&A deal leads and Corporate Development during due diligence to gather and analyze marketing information such as org structures, budgets, and MarTech tools. Identify integration requirements, risks, and opportunities that inform deal and post-close decisions.

• Drive Operational Excellence: Design and maintain repeatable processes, templates, and integration playbooks that improve efficiency, consistency, and data integrity across integrations.

• Coordinate Cross-Functional Alignment: Act as a liaison across Marketing, Sales, Product, IT, and Finance teams, ensuring shared understanding, timely decisions, and cohesive execution throughout the deal lifecycle.

• Support Strategic Planning and Reporting: Build and maintain integration dashboards and progress reports for Marketing leadership. Track key metrics, identify trends, and communicate outcomes clearly.

• Budget and Resource Tracking: Manage integration budgets, purchase requests, and spending approvals to maximize cost efficiencies during the integration process.
