The Experience
As Salesforce adoption grows across regulated industries and the public sector in Australia, customers want more than a description of our security posture. They want a technical Salesforce security counterpart who can design, configure and show the controls that protect their data on the platform. The Manager – Office of the CISO sits within Salesforce's Global Office of the CISO function. It is the hands-on technical voice of Salesforce Security in the region. The role connects our trust posture with how customers actually implement it, turning security, privacy, resilience and compliance commitments into architectures, configurations and evidence that customer CISOs, architects, auditors and regulators can rely on.
This is a customer-facing technical role and an individual contributor position with no direct reports. The successful candidate will spend much of their time with customer security and architecture teams, both whiteboarding and inside the platform. They will design secure Salesforce architectures, configure and demonstrate security controls, and work with the Trust & Security Advisors, Solution Engineers and Technical Architects on strategic deals and implementation
