About The Position

Salesforce is seeking a Sr. Director of Product Management to lead the product vision for integrating Slack and Salesforce. The goal is to make Slack the essential conversational front door to Salesforce for all customers. This role offers a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of two major enterprise platforms and redefine CRM to be AI-first within Slack. The position will involve leading product strategy for key initiatives like CRM in Slackbot, SlackCRM, and SlackFirst, which are high-priority areas for Slack's future roadmap.

Requirements

10+ years in product management, ideally spanning both platform and end-user product at a B2B SaaS company.
Proven track record of shipping products at scale in complex, multi-stakeholder environments with cross-organizational dependencies.
A related technical degree.
Operates with clarity and speed: prototypes the path forward, rapidly iterates based on user feedback, and ships products people want to use.
Deeply customer-obsessed: can hold both the SMB founder and the enterprise admin in mind simultaneously.
Builder mentality: energized by greenfield and ambiguous spaces, not just optimizing what exists.
Low ego, high ownership: leads from the front and gets into the details when it matters.
Excellent cross-boundary collaborator: earns trust across org lines through alignment on customer needs and outcomes.
Strong communicator: can distill complex platform dependencies into clear product narratives for executives and customers.
Deep understanding of CRM, enterprise workflow, or productivity software — and how users actually adopt (or don't adopt) these tools.
Proven experience directly managing and developing senior product managers, including directly managing managers, across a large, matrixed organization.
Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional teams and influence across organizational boundaries without direct authority.
Experience building AI-powered product experiences, particularly conversational or agent-driven workflows.

Nice To Haves

Familiarity with the Salesforce ecosystem — understanding of CRM data models, Agentforce, and how Slack fits within the broader Salesforce platform.
Experience leading PLG-driven product strategy, including acquisition funnels, trial design, and conversion optimization with strong data instincts.
Experience navigating multi-platform product development (e.g., mobile, web, embedded surfaces).
