About The Position

We are at a defining moment in how businesses operate. Slack is no longer just a collaboration tool — it is the Agentic Work OS, the front door to the agentic enterprise where people, data, and AI agents come together in real time. This role sits at the heart of that transformation. As the Slack Business Architect, you will be a central figure in Salesforce's Customer Zero narrative — the living proof point of what's possible when Slack, Agentforce, and Sales Cloud come together. You will lead strategic Slack initiatives across Prospect to Cash domains, driving both near-term wins and long-term innovation that reshapes how our sellers and those supporting sellers work. Collaborating with stakeholders across product, IT, business domains, and change management, you will translate complex sales processes into Slack-first, agentic solutions. Your responsibilities span product assessment, fit-gap analysis, solution design, ideation, and driving release and adoption. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role for someone who is passionate about making seller experiences productive, business processes more efficient, and who thrives in a fast-moving, agile environment. If you are ready to help Salesforce run on its own technology — and shape the future of work in the process — we want to hear from you.
