Chief Marketing Officer, Informatica

Chief Marketing Officer (CMO)

We are seeking a visionary and transformational Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) to lead the global marketing strategy for Informatica, a Salesforce company. This role requires a strategic leader with deep expertise in enterprise data management — including data integration, master data management, quality, governance, and metadata — and a proven ability to build high-performing marketing organizations that drive growth at scale.

Informatica plays a foundational role in Salesforce's vision for the Agentic Enterprise.

This executive will partner closely with the Informatica product leadership, and Salesforce data and AI executives (Data Cloud, MuleSoft, Tableau, Agentforce) to define the strategic narrative, accelerate pipeline, and elevate brand leadership within the global enterprise data market.

The ideal candidate blends strategic vision, operational rigor, deep domain expertise, and the ability to lead within a highly matrixed, global organization.

• Anticipate industry trends across AI, governance, data modernization, and cloud transformation to ensure market leadership.

• Build and scale a world-class demand generation engine that fuels enterprise pipeline growth.
• Develop integrated, multi-channel campaigns targeting CIOs, CDOs, enterprise architects, and data leaders.
• Partner closely with sales leadership to align on strategic account priorities and improve conversion and velocity.

• Build a scalable, AI-powered marketing operations function.
• Implement rigorous measurement frameworks to track performance, optimize ROI, and inform investment strategy.
• Create a unified view of the customer journey across Salesforce and Informatica touchpoints.
• Ensure marketing technology and automation platforms are leveraged to maximize impact.

• Partner with product and engineering to articulate compelling value propositions for data integration, MDM, quality, governance, and metadata management.
• Develop cohesive portfolio narratives that connect Informatica with Data Cloud, MuleSoft, Tableau, and Agentforce.
• Lead go-to-market strategy for product launches and major innovations.
• Equip sales with clear, outcome-oriented messaging and enablement tools.

• Establish Informatica as the definitive authority on trusted enterprise data in the era of AI.
• Elevate the narrative that data is the foundation of context — and context is what powers effective AI agents.
• Represent Informatica at global events, executive forums, and industry conferences.
• Develop thought leadership content that positions Salesforce as the leader in enabling the Agentic Enterprise.

• Strengthen Informatica's brand presence within the Salesforce ecosystem.
• Ensure consistent, differentiated messaging across all channels.
• Cultivate strong brand affinity with enterprise data leaders.
• Partner with Salesforce Corporate Marketing to maximize brand impact.

• Engage deeply with enterprise data practitioners and architect communities.
