About The Position

Salesforce is seeking an experienced Manager to join the GTM Growth Strategy team to help fuel long-term growth. This role will partner with Sales leaders and cross-functional leaders to define, activate, and execute revenue-unlocking initiatives that catalyze growth beyond business as usual. This will involve conducting current state analysis, developing revenue models, and optimizing the GTM model to unlock growth in underpenetrated markets/segments and drive focus on the most impactful growth opportunities. Projects will include leading strategic programs and initiatives, multi-product GTM design for AI and consumption offerings, GTM framework development, market segmentation, pipeline analysis, performance measurement, and external research. Key deliverables will include robust analysis and the packaging of recommendations into presentation-ready slide decks for executive leadership. The ideal candidate is a “strategic doer” who thrives at the intersection of strategy and execution, driving initiatives through to impact. They possess the curiosity and initiative to turn complex data and cross-functional inputs into clear recommendations on highly impactful projects, balancing quantitative rigor with qualitative insight. They foster collaboration, build coalitions and trust with cross-functional peers and leaders, demonstrate the value of their work, and secure the buy-in needed to turn recommendations into lasting impact. They can clearly and confidently articulate recommendations to senior leadership and are highly driven, organized, and thrive in a fast-paced environment.
