Chief of Staff to the President and Chief Legal Officer

The Chief of Staff (CoS) to the President & Chief Legal Officer (CLO) at Salesforce advances key external and internal priorities, driving a culture of prioritization, performance, agility, proactivity and responsiveness, accountability, alignment, collaboration, industry leadership and joy in the Agentforce era, with Salesforce leading the way on agentic AI across external and internal stakeholders.  Salesforce’s global legal and corporate affairs organization includes, global legal affairs, worldwide government and regulatory affairs, public policy, the office of ethical and humane use of technology and responsible AI, public affairs and strategic relations, and strong intersections with Salesforce’s business, sales & partnerships, technology, product, finance, employee success/HR, information technology and other functions, as well as the Salesforce Board of Directors and driving and supporting CEO and ELT/C-Suite priorities.

As a leader in the Legal and Corporate Affairs (LCA) organization and the Office of the President and CLO, the CoS is a trusted, experienced, innovative and action-oriented team player who is deeply aligned with the CLO and the needs of the greater LCA organization and Salesforce ecosystem, driving forward how we Accelerate Growth, Strengthen Trust and Model Excellence in LCA and beyond and supporting thought leadership. This person has a global mindset, positive attitude, and embodies Salesforce’s commitments and values of trust, innovation, customer success, equality and sustainability.  This person will also have a deep interest, curiosity and passion for each of the wide swaths of areas within LCA and for the broader work, impact and potential of Salesforce.

Your ability to maintain strategic alignment with your principal and relevant functional teams will be key to fostering robust partnerships and clear communication.

This will also be an opportunity for the CoS to re-imagine the Office of the President and CLO globally to drive enhanced effectiveness, efficiency, scale and leverage and ensure vision alignment, rigor and execution, starting with the President and CLO himself.  In helping set, manage and drive top priorities, the CoS will also help design how to partner and align on responsibilities with other LCA offices and functions too and how to select and maximize the impact of customer-facing and external stakeholder touchpoints, engagements and meetings.

The CoS will also fluidly navigate across different CoS approaches/identities and deploy the right CoS style and approach for the context and circumstances (e.g., CoS as operator, integrator, advisor, thought partner, implementer, proxy, goalkeeper, etc).  This will also include horizon scanning (e.g., trends, changes or developments in external landscape that could inform thinking or prioritization, risk mitigation or opportunity selection), bringing structure (e.g., optimal structures for meetings, information sharing, and escalations, not necessarily being a gatekeeper, but helping other leaders present issues to the President and CLO in a timely and coordinated way), providing visibility (e.g., ensuring the President and CLO has visibility on important issues that are not ready for direct input or are being handled by subject matter experts, to ensure he has background if the iss
