About The Position

Salesforce is seeking a Vice President of Product Management for Emerging Technology within its Digital Enterprise Technology organization. As a member of the Emerging Technology leadership team, this role shapes product strategy, builds and leads the product management team, and turns emerging technologies into measurable value for Salesforce as Customer Zero and for external customers. The portfolio includes experimentation programs to improve AI agents and support product-led growth; tools and shared-context capabilities that help employees build and deploy software; and customer-facing experiences across discovery, onboarding, self-service, and in-product use. The VP partners across Salesforce to identify opportunities, move from ideas to working products, and use evidence to guide investment and improvement. The role directly leads product managers and provides cross-functional leadership to flexible, mission-focused pods. In partnership with engineering, design, data, and business teams, the VP helps assemble teams around outcomes and adapt their composition as priorities evolve. Product ownership and delivery responsibilities vary by initiative, requiring clear agreements and strong collaboration across organizational boundaries.

Requirements

Record of setting product direction and delivering meaningful customer and business outcomes.
Experience hiring and developing strong product managers.
Relevant depth in one or more of AI and agentic tools, experimentation at scale, or platform product development, and ability to engage across all three areas.
Experience translating user needs into products that people adopt and continue to use; relevant experience may include customer-facing products, internal platforms, onboarding, self-service, or product-led growth.
Technical fluency to work closely with engineering, design, and data partners, assess tradeoffs, and balance speed with quality, reliability, and trust.
Demonstrated success aligning teams not directly managed, establishing shared priorities, and delivering in complex environments with evolving responsibilities.
Ability to explain strategy and decisions to different audiences, create direction amid uncertainty, and adjust as evidence and priorities change.

Responsibilities

Set product strategy and priorities by translating customer needs, business goals, and emerging technology opportunities into portfolio strategy and roadmaps; decide where to experiment, invest, scale, or stop.
Hire, coach, and develop product managers, building a culture of ownership, curiosity, and continuous learning.
Partner with functional leaders to form cross-functional pods, define outcomes, decision rights, and responsibilities, and help teams adapt as work evolves.
Lead experimentation programs that test hypotheses, assess results, and improve agent performance and product-led growth; partner with experimentation platform and data teams on methods, measurement, and success criteria.
Shape tools and workflows that help engineers, product managers, and business stakeholders use AI and coding tools to develop and deploy software.
Develop shared-context capabilities that make requirements, decisions, knowledge, and work visible and usable across people, teams, and agents, reducing context reconstruction and handoffs.
Partner with other Salesforce organizations to deliver customer-facing experiences across discovery, onboarding, self-service, and ongoing product use; establish ownership models and align teams around customer value, adoption, and business outcomes.
Use Salesforce's internal Customer Zero experience to surface customer needs, validate approaches, and inform the broader product portfolio.
Communicate strategy, evidence, and tradeoffs clearly to executives, partners, and customers.
Align teams across organizational boundaries, establish shared priorities, and deliver in complex environments with evolving responsibilities.
