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.

About the Role

Emerging Technology is looking for a Product Manager ready to tackle complex, ambiguous problems at the heart of Salesforce. You'll join a small team that operates like a startup - prototyping quickly, grounding hypotheses in data, and iterating until we've cracked it. When one problem is solved, we hand it off and move on to the next one. If you're energized by building from zero-to-one, this is your home.

What You'll Be Doing

• Own product initiatives end-to-end - from problem framing through delivery - working alongside senior PMs who will invest in your growth

• Drive rapid prototyping and experimentation: validate concepts through data, customer feedback, and scrappy testing before committing to full builds

• Translate ambiguous problems into clear product requirements and user stories that engineering and design teams can act on

• Conduct customer research and synthesize insights to inform your product decisions

• Collaborate across product, design, engineering, and operations to deliver production-ready MVPs on ambitious timelines

• Stay current on industry trends and emerging technologies, bringing fresh perspectives that help the team spot the next opportunity

• Maintain product roadmaps, write detailed specs, and define success metrics that tell us whether something is working

What We're Looking For

Required Qualifications

• 3-5 years of product management experience in an enterprise or startup environment

• Builder and execution mindset: You thrive in ambiguity, prototype early, and can turn a rough direction into a plan teams can run with - even in matrixed, resource-constrained environments

• AI-native skills: You use AI as a daily force multiplier, with hands-on experience in tools like Claude Code and/or Cursor to draft specs, analyze data, and prototype solutions

• Communication and collaboration: You work effectively across product, design, engineering, and operations, and can adapt your communication style to diverse, cross-functional audiences

• Customer focus and execution: You gather, synthesize, and act on user insights to inform decisions, and translate that understanding into requirements teams can ship

Preferred Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in a technical, business, or analytical discipline

• Experience with LLMs and a working understanding of how to push and evaluate their output

• Prior experience on a 0-to-1 or innovation team

What's in It for You

This role offers rare access to Salesforce's full product ecosystem at a stage where your work will be highly visible and directly impactful. You'll develop your craft alongside senior product leaders, move fast on real problems, and build a portfolio of shipped work that spans discovery, prototyping, and launch - all within a team that genuinely values speed, curiosity, and collaboration.
