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.

VP & CMO, Developer & Trusted Services

We are seeking a strategic and visionary VP & CMO to lead global product marketing for Salesforce’s Developer and Trusted Services portfolio, including developer tooling, Agentforce experiences, security, governance, backup, and operational trust services.

This role serves as the senior-most marketing leader for Developer and Trusted Services, acting as the primary counterpart to Product, Engineering, Sales, and Executive Leadership for platform strategy and go-to-market execution.

This leader will define Salesforce’s role in the era of AI and the Agentic Enterprise — positioning Salesforce as the platform where developers build, agents operate, and enterprises run with trust at scale. As organizations move toward agent-driven architectures, the combination of developer experience, interoperability, security, governance, and compliance becomes foundational.

The VP & CMO will own the global narrative, portfolio positioning, competitive strategy, and go-to-market execution across these critical platform capabilities. This leader will partner closely with Product, Engineering, Sales, Data 360, Informatica, MuleSoft, Tableau, Customer 360 Apps, Slack, and Agentforce leadership to ensure a differentiated, cohesive, and future-forward platform story.

The ideal candidate blends deep technical fluency, category storytelling, operational rigor, and strong executive presence.
