Sr. Director, Agentic Transformation - DET Org

Sr. Director, Agentic Transformation - DET Org

Salesforce is looking for a consultative, technically credible Sr. Director, Agentic Transformation to lead how the Chief Operating & Financial Officer (COFO) organization uses data and agentic AI to enable Finance, Controllership.

Reporting to executive leadership in the Digital and Emerging Technology (DET) organization, you will be the product and transformation leader who turns fragmented data into trusted, governed data products. You will then build agentic workflows on top of them to speed up close, improve forecast accuracy, strengthen controls, and remove manual effort from finance operations.

You will identify jobs to be agentified and find and fix data and system gaps to enable transformation, with a technical lens and the executive presence to land change with functional VPs in COFO. We are Customer Zero, the best example of Salesforce products delivered globally, at scale, sustainably.

Key Responsibilities & Impact Areas

• Agentic Product Roadmap: Own the product vision, roadmap and backlog for agentic solutions across Finance, Controllership, Legal and Employee Services. Prioritize by value, feasibility and risk, and take solutions from concept through build, launch and scale.
• Rapid Innovation Squads: Lead and staff Rapid Innovation Squads, small cross-functional teams that move quickly from problem definition to a working agent. Set the squad charter, scope and success criteria, and partner with builders across engineering and data solution to deliver in value increments.
• Value Delivery: Be accountable for outcomes, not output. Define the value case for each initiative up front, track it through delivery, and confirm it is realized after launch. Report results transparently to leadership.
• Navigating Ambiguity: Take on undefined, first-of-their-kind programs where the problem, the data and the right solution are not yet clear. Break them into testable hypotheses, make decisions with incomplete information, and adjust as you learn.
• Agentification of Work: Break down end-to-end processes into jobs and tasks, and decide which should be handled by agents, which need a human in the loop, and which should be redesigned or retired. Build agents that work with real finance and operations data and the controls around them.
• Data Foundations for Agents: Partner with data and engineering teams to turn fragmented data into governed, reusable data products with clear definitions, lineage and ownership, so agents can be trusted in production.
• “In the Seams” Innovation and Efficiencies: Identify and bridge efficiency gaps where traditional functional ownership overlaps, and ensure new technologies integrate cleanly into the native Salesforce product ecosystem and existing systems of record.
• Customer Zero: Run our own products internally first. Feed product feedback and field-tested patterns back to Salesforce product teams, and turn what works into a repeatable model.
• Enterprise Adoption & Scaling: Partner with cross-functional leaders to scale agentic solutions, drive adoption, and eliminate operational friction across functional silos.
• Agentic ROI & Efficiency Benchmarking: Establish rigorous baselines and performance frameworks to measure productivity gains and ROI, with data-driven visibility into the efficiency captured across the organization.
• Executive Advisory: Serve as a credible partner to COFO and DET leadership, providing data-driven recommendations on where and how to apply AI-led operations.

Required Qualifications

• Product Leadership: 8-10 years of product management, product strategy or technical program leadership experience, with proven ownership of product roadmaps in technology organizations.
• Transformation Leadership: Proven track record of leading teams (20+) to deliver complex, cross-functional transformations for multi-billion-dollar SaaS and technology organizations.
• AI & Data Expertise: Deep technical experience building products and processes with GenAI, agentic AI and broader data solutions, taking them from prototype to production.
• Value Orientation: Demonstrated success defining, measuring and delivering business value, with evidence of outcomes achieved.
• Comfort with Ambiguity: Track record of driving ill-defined, fast-moving programs to results, with sound judgment under uncertainty and a bias toward testing and learning.
• Consultative Credibility: Exceptional ability to influence outcomes at the VP and executive level, with experience acting as a key product lead.

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with Salesforce’s product ecosystem and its application in driving internal business transformation.
• Experience with enterprise operations processes.
• Experience leading rapid, small-team innovation or incubation efforts.
• Proven ability to translate technical talk into business value for non-technical executive audiences, and vice versa.
