Senior Director, Product Marketing

Salesforce•Indianapolis, IN

About The Position

Salesforce Platform is the backbone of the world's most trusted AI-powered enterprise applications—and the team behind it is growing. The Platform Product Marketing team plays a pivotal role in driving the go-to-market strategy for our most strategic product areas, including the Headless 360 platform, which includes Security, Trust, and the broader developer and technical buyer ecosystem. We are seeking a visionary and energetic Senior Director of Product Marketing to own the GTM strategy and global sales enablement. In this highly visible role, you will arm the entire Salesforce sales organization—from AEs to Solutions Engineers to executive sellers—with the strategy, messaging, and tools they need to win in the market. You will be a champion of solution selling, helping sellers move from feature-based conversations to outcome-driven narratives that connect the Headless 360 platform capabilities to customer business value. This leader will also be at the forefront of a new era of marketing—one powered by AI. We're looking for someone who embraces AI-powered tooling to become a true marketing maker: shipping faster, creating more, and unlocking new levels of impact without expanding headcount.
