The Challenge

Ford's commercial fleet business is expanding into software and services (Telematics, Charging, Software), and they need someone to architect the B2B customer journeys that connect fleet managers and drivers to these new revenue streams. You'll own the full CRM lifecycle—acquisition through retention—using Salesforce to drive retention and cross-sell at scale.

Your Mission

First 3 Months
1

Map current B2B customer journey across Salesforce Marketing Cloud and identify data architecture gaps; document one-to-many relationships (company-to-employees, company-to-vehicles) to enable segmentation

2

Build and deploy 3-4 automated nurture campaigns targeting fleet managers and drivers with role-specific messaging using Journey Builder and AMPScript

3

Establish baseline metrics: open rates, click rates, conversion rates for email campaigns and identify quick wins for A/B testing

4

Partner with Sales to define ABM strategy for top 20 high-value accounts and create tailored account-based journeys

By 6 Months
1

Optimize campaign performance: increase open rates by 15% and conversion rates by 10% through segmentation and creative testing

2

Launch account-based marketing program targeting 50+ accounts with measurable pipeline contribution and sales engagement metrics

3

Implement consent management and data privacy framework compliant with GDPR/CCPA across all customer communications

4

Scale win-back and cross-sell campaigns for Telematics/Charging/Software products; track product adoption lift by customer segment

KPIs You'll Own

Email Open Rate

Target 25%+ open rates by segment (fleet manager vs. driver) through role-specific subject lines and send-time optimization.

Campaign Conversion Rate

Track conversion from email click to product signup or sales-qualified lead; target 5%+ from nurture campaigns.

Account Engagement Score

Define and monitor engagement velocity for ABM accounts using Salesforce Data Cloud touchpoint tracking.

Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) by Journey

Is This Role For You?

For You If
  • You've built and optimized B2B CRM campaigns in Salesforce Marketing Cloud (Journey Builder, Automation Studio)—not just launched emails, but architected journeys
  • You're fluent in HTML, CSS, AMPScript, and SQL; you can diagnose campaign issues and customize templates without constant dev support
  • You love data and testing: you translate business goals ('increase software subscriptions') into segmentation rules, triggers, and KPIs
  • You've worked in B2B or automotive marketing and understand complex buyer committees (fleet managers vs. drivers) and account-based selling
Won't Work If
  • You're a B2C email marketer; this role requires deep B2B account structures, multi-stakeholder journeys, and ABM strategy—not consumer segment campaigns
  • You need a remote or hybrid setup; this is on-site Dearborn, MI only
  • You're not comfortable with SQL and technical campaign troubleshooting; you'll be writing queries and debugging AMPScript regularly

Interview Process

1

Initial Screening

HR/Recruiter call to confirm Salesforce Marketing Cloud experience, B2B background, and on-site availability

3

Hiring Manager Interview

Director/Manager conversation about CRM strategy, ABM experience, and how you'd approach Ford's fleet customer segments

4

Cross-Functional Panel

Discussion with Sales, Analytics (GDIA), and Marketing stakeholders on collaboration style and data/campaign priorities
