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.

• Work across global finance, operations, and distribution teams to accurately report and unlock insights that measure growth potential and business health.

• Lead the development and enhancement of complex financial models to drive business planning and long-term strategic initiatives. Analyze large volumes of standard datasets using tools such as SQL and Tableau.

• Deliver high-quality monthly and quarterly management reporting packages, focusing on the "why" behind the numbers. Deliver insights that influence business leaders to better understand and manage critical metrics.

• Own the consolidation of functional expenses and headcount, providing enterprise-level analysis that informs executive decision-making.

• Drive the monthly and quarterly forecasting and close processes, ensuring global alignment on timelines and data integrity.

• Troubleshoot operational issues as they surface; propose changes to systems/processes to fix root causes.

• Act as a key liaison across F&S, the Finance Data Office, and Controllership to ensure accuracy and strategic alignment.

Required Qualifications:

• Degree in Finance or a relevant discipline, or equivalent relevant experience required.

• Experience will be evaluated based on the Core Competencies for the role (e.g., extracurricular leadership roles, military experience, volunteer roles, work experience, etc.).

• 3-5+ years of experience in FP&A, Corporate Finance, or Finance & Strategy at a multinational organization.

• Advanced proficiency in MS Excel, Hyperion, and Smartview.

• Strong experience with data visualization (Tableau/Power BI); SQL or Snowflake experience is a plus.

• Proven track record of leading quantifiable process improvement projects.

• Strategic Communicator: Ability to present clear, concise, and professional insights to senior stakeholders.

• Adaptive Leader: Comfortable navigating ambiguity and managing competing priorities with a "Get it Done" attitude.
