Your Work Shapes the World at Caterpillar Inc.

When you join Caterpillar, you're joining a global team who cares not just about the work we do – but also about each other. We are the makers, problem solvers, and future world builders who are creating stronger, more sustainable communities. We don't just talk about progress and innovation here – we make it happen, with our customers, where we work and live. Together, we are building a better world, so we can all enjoy living in it.

Do you thrive at the intersection of technology, customer relationships, and business strategy? Do you excel at translating complex business requirements into measurable, scalable, and sustainable results through hands-on implementation?

Solar Turbines is seeking a self-motivated, high-energy Customer Success Manager with deep technical and functional expertise in Salesforce, a passion for innovation, strong execution, and a commitment to timely delivery and continuous improvement.
