About The Position

The Salesforce Competitive Intelligence (CI) team is seeking a dynamic, organized, and execution-driven Program Manager to help scale our most critical competitive initiatives across multiple Operating Units (OUs). This individual will serve as the connective tissue across the CI team—designing and operationalizing programs that help Salesforce win against our biggest competitors through coordinated, data-driven, and repeatable actions.

The ideal candidate thrives in ambiguity, connects dots across complex organizations, and brings a structured approach to driving results at scale.
