About Salesforce

Salesforce is the #1 AI CRM, where humans with agents drive customer success together. Here, ambition meets action. Tech meets trust. And innovation isn’t a buzzword — it’s a way of life. The world of work as we know it is changing and we're looking for Trailblazers who are passionate about bettering business and the world through AI, driving innovation, and keeping Salesforce's core values at the heart of it all.

Ready to level-up your career at the company leading workforce transformation in the agentic era? You’re in the right place! Agentforce is the future of AI, and you are the future of Salesforce.

The Sales Strategy team for Regulated Industries is a high-performance group of trusted advisors embedded with senior leaders to drive strategic clarity and sustainable growth. In this role, you will sit at the intersection of strategy and execution, connecting dots across Sales, Finance, Marketing, and Operations. You are equally comfortable presenting in the boardroom as you are unblocking processes or re-engineering a territory model.

Business Analytics: Provide the analytical bedrock for leadership decisions by building dashboards and reports that track key performance metrics and running ad-hoc analyses to diagnose business health.
Cross-Functional Execution: Navigate organizational complexity to drive execution of long-term transformational initiatives.
Required Qualifications
Proven Experience: 6+ years in management consulting, sales strategy, or business operations within a SaaS or high-growth environment.
Leadership: Proven experience as a 2nd line People Manager. 
Executive Influence: Demonstrated ability to advise and influence SVP-level and C-suite executives.
Domain Knowledge: Deep understanding of enterprise software sales models, product-led growth, and consumption-based business models. 
Analytical Rigor: Strong quantitative analysis and financial modeling skills, with advanced proficiency in Excel or Google Sheets.
Strategic Execution: A track record of developing and executing GTM strategies within complex, matrixed organizations.
Communication: Excellent storytelling skills, able to distill complex information into clear narratives for executive stakeholders.
Change Management: Experience driving large-scale business transformation and organizational change initiatives. 
Preferred Qualifications
Platform Expertise: Salesforce (CRM) experience and proficiency with data visualization tools like Tableau or CRM Analytics.
Market Expertise: Experience in Financial Services and/or Regulated Industries and an understanding of its specific business dynamics. 
Technical Skills: Experience with SQL (or equivalent database querying language) is a plus.
Growth Strategies: Specific experience with consumption-based pricing models and usage-driven growth.
Education: An MBA or equivalent advanced degree.
Program Excellence: A track record of successful program execution in high-growth technology environments.
