About The Position

About Salesforce 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. We are building the strategic intelligence and growth engine for Data 360. The Office of the Chief Customer Officer partners directly with Salesforce’s most strategic customers, executive leaders, and product teams to ensure that real-world enterprise insight drives both product innovation and market leadership. As a Director/Sr Director of Product Management, you will operate at the intersection of product strategy, executive customer engagement, and industry thought leadership. This is not a traditional roadmap ownership role. Instead, you will apply deep product and industry expertise to influence the most important conversations shaping the future of enterprise data, analytics, and the agentic enterprise. You will engage with senior executives at leading organizations, help guide complex product discussions in strategic opportunities, translate customer insight into actionable product intelligence, and contribute to shaping the industry narrative around modern data architecture. This role requires a rare combination of product depth, executive presence, and strategic thinking.

10+ years of experience in product management, product strategy, or enterprise platform leadership.
Ability to translate complex technical capabilities into strategic business value.
Strong executive presence and ability to engage credibly with C-level leaders.

Skilled at identifying patterns across customer conversations and translating them into strategic insight.
Comfortable operating in ambiguous, high-impact environments.
