About The Position

Salesforce is looking for a Director of Enablement Engineering who is as comfortable managing a high-performing team as they are live in front of a room full of engineers. This role leads the Enablement Engineering team within Technology, People, Innovation & Learning (TPIL), reporting to the Senior Director of TPIL Learning, and is central to driving Salesforce's AI adoption journey across the Technology & Products (T&P) organization. This is a player-coach role. You'll set the vision and direction for the team, develop and grow your engineers, and still roll up your sleeves to build and facilitate world-class technical enablement yourself. You know how to lead, but you haven't lost the hands-on instincts that made you good at this work.

Requirements

Proven experience leading and managing technical teams — you know how to hire well, develop people, and build a team that does their best work.
Hands-on software engineering experience — you write code, not just read it.
Proficiency in at least one language (Python, JavaScript, Java, or similar) is required.
Solid understanding of software development fundamentals: version control (Git), application programming interfaces (APIs), debugging, and the software development life cycle (SDLC).
Proven experience presenting and facilitating to technical audiences — you're energized by a room, not intimidated by it.
Comfortable setting up and troubleshooting technical environments on the fly and able to translate complex technical concepts into clear, engaging, audience-appropriate content.

Nice To Haves

Experience with Salesforce platform development (Apex, Lightning Web Components (LWC), Flow, or similar).
Familiarity with AI/ML concepts and hands-on experience working with AI tools — prompt engineering, large language models (LLMs), Agentforce, or Copilot.
A background in developer relations, technical training, or solutions engineering.

Responsibilities

Lead, coach, and develop a team of Enablement Engineers — setting clear expectations, providing regular feedback, supporting career growth and fostering a collaborative, high-standards team culture
Drive team priorities and workload planning in alignment with broader T&P learning strategy and represent the team and its impact with senior stakeholders
Partner with the Senior Director of TPIL Learning to shape the enablement engineering strategy and roadmap.
Develop and facilitate live and virtual technical enablement sessions for Salesforce engineers and technical audiences — making complex AI and platform concepts accessible and actionable.
Build and maintain demo environments, sandboxes, and code samples that support live facilitation.
