- 8+ years of experience in strategy consulting, business transformation, or leading a highly strategic Program Management Office (PMO) in a global setting
- Proven track record of independently designing, managing, and delivering complex, enterprise-level strategic programs with a global scope
- Significant experience with GTM functions and sales enablement, demonstrating an understanding of how capability and readiness programs translate into sales performance
- Exceptional Strategic Thinking and Structured Problem Solving: The ability to take a highly ambiguous, high-level business challenge and structure it into a clear, actionable program roadmap
- Strong Senior-Level Communication and Influencing Skills: Ability to effectively manage and influence senior leaders distilling complex topics into clear decision points and compelling rationales

What the job involves
- We are looking for a highly accomplished and experienced Strategic Program Manager to join our Strategy team within the Learning and Enablement organization

- Program Design and Management: Own the end-to-end design, planning, and execution management of complex, multi-year strategic programs focused on operational transformation and critical GTM enablement for the global sales organization
- Stakeholder Alignment and Partnership: Serve as a trusted strategic partner to Leaders across functional groups. You will be responsible for connecting the dots across disparate initiatives and securing cross-functional alignment on program objectives and milestones
- Organizational Change Execution: Design, lead, and execute robust change management strategies necessary for the successful adoption of new operating models and strategic capabilities across the global organization
- Strategic Communication: Translate executive-level strategies and complex program details into clear, compelling narratives and presentations suitable for senior internal audiences, driving clarity and commitment across teams
- Data-Driven Accountability: Implement and manage the governance framework for your program portfolio, leveraging data and analytics to track key metrics, measure tangible business impact, and continuously optimize program effectiveness
Our take
Salesforce is a global cloud computing company, best known for its on-demand, comprehensive customer relationship management (CRM) solutions. The company was launched to mitigate the doubts that business owners felt regarding third party companies holding their data.
By providing essential, customer-oriented CRM software, Salesforce places itself at the heart of digitised businesses. Furthermore, by building out its AI capabilities, the company removes the complexity of AI, enabling any business to deliver smarter, personalised and more predictive customer experiences.
Due to the continued innovation offered by the company, over 150,000 companies, both big and small, are growing their business with Salesforce today. Despite a tumultuous 2023 filled with activist investors, a boardroom shake-up and the unprecedented step-down of Co-CEO Bret Taylor, Salesforce continues to close several acquisition deals and managed to drive up its stock value by 96% from the end of 2022 to 2023.
