About The Position

This is a high-impact, execution-first role (80% execution, 20% strategy) within Agentic Talent Experience, responsible for defining and operationalizing AI-first Performance Management talent practices at enterprise scale. The ideal candidate is a seasoned program manager who combines strategic clarity with exceptional operational rigor — someone who can see the full end-to-end picture, identify what's broken or redundant, and drive disciplined execution to transform it. A defining mandate of this role is to rationalize and streamline Salesforce's 17+ global Performance Management business processes down to under 10 — eliminating complexity, reducing friction, and creating a simpler, more consistent employee experience worldwide. This requires both the vision to diagnose inefficiencies and the operational discipline to implement improvements at scale with strong stakeholder alignment. Partnering closely with senior leaders, HR Business Partners, and cross-functional stakeholders globally, this individual designs and embeds AI-first performance practices — from objective setting (OKRs) to performance check-ins to feedback cycles — ensuring every program is scalable, measurable, and delivers real impact for employees and the business.
