Senior Manager, Strategy & Operations - Missionforce

Salesforce • San Francisco, CA

2d

About The Position

Reporting to the Senior Director of Strategy & Operations, you will operate as a thinking partner and execution arm on the hardest, most ambiguous problems facing the Missionforce business. This is not a functional role with clearly defined swim lanes. Instead, you work alongside the Senior Director on whatever matters most — translating complexity, driving cross-functional workstreams, and building the materials that help leadership make decisions. This role is an apprenticeship in executive problem-solving. You'll get exposure to the full range of challenges facing a high-growth government cloud business — commercial, technical, organizational — and build the judgment and versatility to operate at the next level.

Requirements

• 5–7 years in strategy consulting, investment banking, or corporate strategy.
• Demonstrated ability to learn quickly across very different contexts — you're comfortable getting up to speed on technical, financial, and organizational topics
• Strong analytical and communication skills; ability to structure thinking clearly in writing and slides
• High tolerance for ambiguity and comfort working on problems without a clear roadmap
• Bias toward action and follow-through — you don't just identify problems, you drive them to resolution

Nice To Haves

• Experience working with or presenting to senior executives preferred

Responsibilities

• Own pieces of the hardest problems. When the Senior Director is working a complex, cross-functional issue, you take ownership of critical components — running analysis, coordinating stakeholders, drafting materials, and driving follow-through
• Build executive-ready content. You translate messy, incomplete information into clear, structured slides and narratives that executives can quickly understand and act on
• Develop solutions across functional boundaries. You work across Sales, Engineering, Finance, Product, Legal, and other teams to drive progress on initiatives that don't fit neatly into anyone's existing mandate
• Stay current on the business. You proactively track what's happening across the organization — major deals, technical milestones, organizational changes — so you can spot connections and surface insights
• Operate with increasing independence. Early on, you'll work closely with the Senior Director. Over time, you'll take on problems end-to-end.

Benefits

• Salesforce offers a variety of benefits to help you live well including: time off programs, medical, dental, vision, mental health support, paid parental leave, life and disability insurance, 401(k), and an employee stock purchasing program.
