About The Position

We are seeking a strategic, execution-oriented Senior Product Manager to lead the vision, roadmap, and adoption of Salesforce across the Commercial Bank. This role serves as the central product owner of the Salesforce Sales ecosystem, responsible for aligning business priorities with technology delivery, establishing governance, and driving scalable, high-impact capabilities. This role will serve as the bridge between business stakeholders, sales teams, operations, and technology organizations to define scalable CRM solutions that improve banker productivity, client engagement, pipeline management, and revenue growth. This individual will also play a critical role in shaping the future vision for AI-enabled banking experiences within Salesforce — identifying opportunities to leverage generative AI, workflow automation, predictive insights, and intelligent banker assistance capabilities to transform how commercial bankers operate and engage clients. The ideal candidate combines strong product management discipline with deep stakeholder engagement, Salesforce platform expertise, AI innovation thinking, and change leadership capabilities. This individual will own the end-to-end product lifecycle — from strategy and requirements definition through implementation, rollout, and user adoption.
