Salesforce is seeking a Director, Technology Risk and Controls to architect and lead our compliance automation team within Digital Enterprise Technology (DET). This role is a unique hybrid of technical leadership and hands-on engineering, designed for a leader who views regulatory compliance and governance as a systems-engineering challenge rather than a manual checklist.
As the founding leader of this function, you will define the strategic roadmap for automation across our control environment. You will execute high-impact initiatives to deliver immediate wins while simultaneously architecting and hiring a specialized team of engineers. Your primary objective is to institutionalize engineering-driven compliance, replacing traditional manual efforts with automated solutions for control execution, audit facilitation, and continuous reporting.

Your Impact - Responsibilities

• Strategic Roadmap: Define and lead the vision to systematically automate manual compliance workstreams, engineering scalable processes that align with enterprise risk priorities.
• Team Leadership: Recruit and lead a specialized team of compliance engineers, establishing technical standards and an engineering culture required to modernize controls within the DET environment.
• Agentic Ecosystem: Architect an end-to-end agentic ecosystem to autonomously manage the compliance lifecycle, transitioning from manual evidence collection to automated, "push-button" execution.
• Continuous Monitoring: Direct the design and delivery of automated workflows and real-time dashboards (Tableau) to provide leadership with data-driven visibility into control health.
• Audit Collaboration: Partner with SOX teams and external auditors to ensure engineering solutions meet rigorous standards, driving formal audit reliance on automated evidence.

Minimum Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Cybersecurity, or a related field, or comparable professional work experience.
• Experience: 12+ years in GRC, Cybersecurity, or Software Engineering, with at least 5+ years of experience recruiting and leading high-performing technical teams.
• Technical Proficiency: Proven ability to design enterprise-level automation tools and API integrations. Proficiency in Apex and/or Java, SQL, SOQL, and Python is required.
• Audit Scrutiny: Extensive experience evaluating security control effectiveness and translating complex data into technical requirements that satisfy SOX, PCI, and SOC2 standards.
• Data Visualization: Track record of delivering real-time dashboards that transform raw system data into an executive "source of truth."
• Problem Solving: A creative, engineering-led approach to identifying high-impact automation opportunities that eliminate friction in manual processes.
• Emerging Tech: Familiarity with agentic frameworks to automate workflows and synthesize unstructured data across disparate systems.

Preferred Qualifications

• AI/LLM: Experience fine-tuning or prompting Large Language Models (LLMs) to automate audit inquiry responses or evidence mapping.
• Certifications: Advanced technical or security certifications such as Salesforce Certified Technical Architect (CTA), CISSP, or CISM.
• Salesforce Expertise: Deep familiarity with Salesforce platform architecture and leveraging native capabilities to scale complex processes.
• Analytics: Experience with the design and development of Tableau dashboards to support control testing outcomes.
