CTO - Agentic Process Automation & Intelligence

Salesforce•Washington, DC

About The Position

Salesforce is the #1 AI CRM, where humans with agents drive customer success together. Here, ambition meets action. Tech meets trust. And innovation isn’t a buzzword — it’s a way of life. The world of work as we know it is changing and we're looking for Trailblazers who are passionate about bettering business and the world through AI, driving innovation, and keeping Salesforce's core values at the heart of it all. Ready to level-up your career at the company leading workforce transformation in the agentic era? You’re in the right place! Agentforce is the future of AI, and you are the future of Salesforce. As the Field CTO, you will lead the technical vision for our most strategic global accounts. You will be the primary architect responsible for expanding Agentforce for Supply Chain (leveraging the Regrello acquisition) into our broader Agentic Process Automation suite. You will bridge the gap between complex legacy systems and autonomous intelligence across Supply Chain, Financial Services (FINS), and Technology, Media, & Telecom (TMT). We are looking for a visionary builder-leader to serve as the architectural bridge between high-level AI strategy and hardened enterprise execution. You will act as a trusted advisor to C-suite executives at our most strategic accounts, translating the complexities of Agentic Process Automation into scalable, high-impact business outcomes. Your mission is to ensure our technology doesn’t just innovate, but fundamentally re-engineers the digital core of the world’s leading organizations.
