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.

The Content Experience (CX) team works closely with Product, Engineering, UX, and other groups to create in-app guidance, Trailhead, videos, online help, release notes, developer doc, and more. Great content drives adoption, reduces attrition, and increases customer success. Our content fuels Agentforce agents to ensure accurate, high quality responses about Salesforce products. We are hiring a Senior Director to lead CX for our Agentforce Platform, where agents are built, tested, deployed, and monitored. With Agentforce, we’re helping companies become agent-first.

We’re looking for an experienced business leader who is curious, self-directed, and an active listener. Someone who’s not afraid to experiment and take risks, and who has a proven track record delivering creative, repeatable solutions. The Agentforce Platform is made up of a complex and powerful set of tools and capabilities. Our challenge is to make it easy by providing onboarding, how-to, training, and technical content to enable all audiences who build agents on our platform—including admins, low-code builders, pro-code developers, and ISVs. This leader achieves business goals by empowering their teams to do their best work. Ideal candidates are passionate about and keep pace with the constantly evolving landscape of AI. We are looking for a transformational leader with strong communication skills, who has a proven history of influencing others and driving alignment within an organization and among stakeholders.

• Share out your team’s priorities and accomplishments with CX, cross-functional leaders, stakeholders, and executives to get the support you need. Increase team visibility, showcase customer value, and build strong relationships.

• Always be learning and become an expert who understands the business, the customer, and the technology enough to form strong opinions and drive clear decisions.
