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.

• Define performance metrics and build executive dashboards to assess business health, identify growth opportunities, and recommend targeted interventions
• Conduct advanced analytical deep dives across multiple data sources (e.g., whitespace analysis, propensity modeling, participation trends, pipeline coverage, and AOV dynamics)
• Drive forecast excellence by partnering with sales leadership to improve predictability, inspection rigor, and deal governance across business units
• Develop executive-level presentations and insights for QBRs, operating reviews, and strategic planning cycles
• Diagnose operational friction points and propose scalable process and system improvements to enhance sales productivity

Minimum Qualifications

• 5–7+ years of professional experience in consulting, corporate strategy, sales strategy, or business operations
• Demonstrated strength in quantitative analysis, financial modeling, and structured problem solving
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent relevant experience
