About Salesforce

We're Salesforce, the Customer Company, inspiring the future of business with AI+ Data +CRM. Leading with our core values, we help companies across every industry blaze new trails and connect with customers in a whole new way. And, we empower you to be a Trailblazer, too - driving your performance and career growth, charting new paths, and improving the state of the world. If you believe in business as the greatest platform for change and in companies doing well and doing good - you've come to the right place.

Department Overview

Salesforce Professional Services focuses on delivering strategic engagements that define transformational opportunities and articulate clear plans for execution of change programs. We rely on our team's expertise and specialisms to engage with executive-level customers to agree on specific business goals and actions to ignite the full value of Salesforce. Our approach considers people, process, and technology - and a successful engagement includes recommendations to the business for change to support deeper, more relevant use of the Salesforce platform.

Overview of the Role

Our Business Strategy Directors lead dedicated, impactful, collaborative teams passionate about delivering complex, transformational strategy engagements. Partnering with C-level customers, they craft innovative, industry-specific and experience-led strategies which clearly define the vision, metrics and roadmap to achieve desired business outcomes. Business Strategists work with our key industry customers, partners, and technical delivery leaders to drive scale, speed to value and a sustained landscape for future success.

Do you have consumer goods trade promotion management experience, either working at a consumer goods company, consultancy, or software company that provides trade promotion management solutions?
Do you have experience with the Salesforce platform and Salesforce's Consumer Goods Cloud application?
In addition to being a TPM practitioner, are you also a thought leader and are comfortable sharing and applying leading practices around Annual Operations Planning, Integrated Business Planning, Promotion Scenario Planning, Trade Promotion Optimization, Trade Funds Management, Claims and Settlements Management, Actualizations, Accruals, Post-Event Analysis and Revenue Growth Management?

We believe the best industry strategists are those who obsess over the creation of customer and business value and will have a customer-centric and collaborative mentality, willing to commit to the customer, and will break down barriers to ensure customer success.

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. Know your rights: workplace discrimination is illegal. Any employee or potential employee will be assessed on the basis of merit, competence and qualifications - without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender expression or identity, transgender status, age, disability, veteran or marital status, political viewpoint, or other classifications protected by law. This policy applies to current and prospective employees, no matter where they are in their Salesforce employment journey. 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.
