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.

In the United States, compensation offered will be determined by factors such as location, job level, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. Certain roles may be eligible for incentive compensation, equity, and benefits. Salesforce offers a variety of benefits to help you live well including: time off programs, medical, dental, vision, mental health support, paid parental leave, life and disability insurance, 401(k), and an employee stock purchasing program. More details about company benefits can be found at the following link: https://www.salesforcebenefits.com.

At Salesforce, we believe in equitable compensation practices that reflect the dynamic nature of labor markets across various regions. The typical base salary range for this position is $164,000 - $261,500 annually. The range represents base salary only, and does not include company bonus, incentive for sales roles, equity or benefits, as applicable.

Salesforce Compensation & Benefits Highlights

The following summarizes recurring compensation and benefits themes identified from responses generated by popular LLMs to common candidate questions about Salesforce and has not been reviewed or approved by Salesforce.

  • Fair & Transparent Compensation Pay is positioned as above-market in the U.S., with multiple peer-reported benchmarks converging around a similar median total compensation figure. Compensation is also framed as broadly viewed as fair in aggregate, even while acknowledging variation by role and group.
  • Parental & Family Support Parental leave is described as notably generous for U.S. caregivers, with additional supports like gradual return-to-work and doula reimbursement. Family-building programs are also emphasized through fertility/adoption/surrogacy support with sizeable reimbursement limits.
  • Wellbeing & Lifestyle Benefits Mental-health and coaching offerings are highlighted as accessible supports alongside financial-wellbeing tools. Volunteer Time Off and donation matching are presented as distinctive lifestyle-aligned benefits that add value beyond cash compensation.
