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.

• Own headcount planning end to end - serving as the single source of truth for every position, backfill, geo/level change, and transfer modeled against budget targets, in close partnership with Central Planning, Finance, and Employee Success
• Lead budget planning and financial operations, including spend tracking across programs, headcount, contractors, and T&E; requarterizations; incremental funding requests; and quarterly Spend Health Reviews for the EVP
• Build and run scenario models under pressure - when reduction targets or funding requests land, you develop options quickly and strategically, surfacing risks before they reach senior leadership
• Drive the org's planning rhythm, including the V2MOM process, annual and quarterly planning checkpoints, action tracking, and leadership forum prep - while experimenting with AI tools to automate reporting and synthesis workflows

• You have 5+ years in business operations, FP&A, strategy & operations, or headcount/workforce planning, with a track record of hands-on operational delivery
• You're genuinely fluent in Excel and Google Sheets - you've built and maintained budget and headcount models, handled reductions, and can walk someone through a live model
• You've run full budget planning cycles: tracking spend, modeling cuts, and working alongside central or functional planners to hit targets
• You communicate clearly at the executive level and build structure in ambiguous environments without waiting to be told what to do

• You have a background in FP&A, consulting with hands-on delivery, or marketing operations at scale
• You've supported workforce actions - reductions, increases, reorgs - with the judgment and discretion they require
• You have hands-on curiosity about AI tools; experience with Claude or Claude Code is a plus
• You're comfortable navigating senior stakeholders in a matrixed org and see operating across levels as an opportunity

Unleash Your Potential

Posting Statement

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.

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.
