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 Salesforce's 0-to-1 engine inside the Digital Enterprise Technology (DET) organization. We take on the company's most ambiguous, high-stakes problems and operate like a startup embedded in an enterprise — prototyping quickly, grounding our hypotheses in data, and iterating until we've cracked the problem. We're looking for a Product Manager who wants to accelerate their career by working this way, learning from senior product leaders, and owning real outcomes early.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Own pieces of new product initiatives end-to-end, from problem framing through delivery, working alongside senior PMs who will push you to grow
  • Drive rapid prototyping and experimentation, validating 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 problems, ideas, and insights to inform the roadmap
  • Collaborate across product, design, engineering, and operations to deliver production-ready MVPs on aggressive timelines
  • Track emerging technology trends and bring fresh perspectives that help the team spot the next opportunity
  • Maintain product roadmaps, write detailed specs, and define the success metrics that tell us whether something is working


What We're Looking For

Required Qualifications

  • 3-6 years of product management experience, in an enterprise or startup setting
  • A builder mindset: genuine interest in building new things, energized by ambiguity rather than paralyzed by it — the type of person who prototypes on weekends, tinkers with new tools before being asked, and treats constraints as creative fuel
  • Hands-on, daily use of AI tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor) to draft specs, analyze data, prototype solutions, and accelerate workflow, along with enough understanding of how LLMs work to know when to trust their output and when not to
  • Exposure to, or strong curiosity about, emerging technologies, data-driven products, or innovative platforms
  • A strong execution mindset — able to turn a rough direction into a plan teams can run with
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills across diverse, cross-functional teams
  • Customer-focused thinking, with eagerness to learn how to gather, synthesize, and act on user insights
  • Comfort operating in highly matrixed, resource-constrained environments

Preferred Qualifications

  • Direct experience shipping an MVP or 0-to-1 product in a resource-constrained team
  • Familiarity with experimentation frameworks or lightweight research methods for validating product hypotheses
  • A related technical degree required

Why Join?

You'll get hands-on experience across the full product development lifecycle — problem discovery, rapid prototyping, user validation, launch, and iteration — in a high-visibility environment where speed and impact matter more than process. You'll work closely with senior product leaders, build your craft fast, and see your work handed off to teams that scale it across Salesforce.

Unleash Your Potential

When you join Salesforce, you’ll be limitless in all areas of your life. Our benefits and resources support you to find balance and be your best, and our AI agents accelerate your impact so you can do your best. Together, we’ll bring the power of Agentforce to organizations of all sizes and deliver amazing experiences that customers love. Apply today to not only shape the future — but to redefine what’s possible — for yourself, for AI, and the world.

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?

The same goes for compensation, benefits, promotions, transfers, reduction in workforce, recall, training, and education.
