What You Need To Be Successful

• 8+ years of product design experience, including 3+ years directly managing and developing product designers, ideally at a B2B SaaS or platform company.
• Strong track record of partnering with product and engineering leadership at the strategy level, not just translating requirements. You will influence roadmap decisions, represent design's perspective in cross-functional planning, and drive visioning initiatives.
• A strong customer-centric orientation. You ground design and product decisions in real customer insights and instill that same instinct across your team.
• A track record of design leadership that extends beyond your own team. Experience shaping and evolving the product design function’s practices within an organization.
• Maintain a high bar for design craft, with a portfolio reflecting strong interaction and visual design fundamentals. You set and uphold that same bar across your team by giving specific, actionable feedback that sharpens execution, not just strategy.
• A track record of leading design for complex, multi-team product areas. You should influence a coherent vision that translates across teams supporting a unified platform.
• Experience owning or contributing to a design system at scale; familiarity with design systems like Forma 36.
• Demonstrated success managing distributed, global teams.
• A genuine interest in AI-native product design, including shipping AI-powered customer-facing features, as well as evolving design tooling and workflows.
• Strong portfolio evidence of coaching designers' career growth. Experience facilitating promotions, skill development, and performance management.
• Comfort operating in a technically complex, enterprise/platform context. The interfaces and user flows we design operate within a headless, API first context and a mindset of ‘systems thinking’ is paramount.

Salesforce is an equal opportunity employer and maintains a policy of non-discrimination with all employees and applicants for employment. What does that mean exactly? It means that at Salesforce, we believe in equality for all. And we believe we can lead the path to equality in part by creating a workplace that’s inclusive, and free from discrimination.

• Know your rights: workplace discrimination is illegal. Any employee or potential employee will be assessed on the basis of merit, competence and qualifications – without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender expression or identity, transgender status, age, disability, veteran or marital status, political viewpoint, or other classifications protected by law.
• This policy applies to current and prospective employees, no matter where they are in their Salesforce employment journey. It also applies to recruiting, hiring, job assignment, compensation, promotion, benefits, training, assessment of job performance, discipline, termination, and everything in between.
• Recruiting, hiring, and promotion decisions at Salesforce are fair and based on merit. The same goes for compensation, benefits, promotions, transfers, reduction in workforce, recall, training, and education.
