This role requires a rare blend of strategic acumen, technical depth, and disciplined prioritization to ensure the Workforce Intelligence team remains focused on highest‑value opportunities that directly impact employee outcomes and Salesforce’s business objectives.

You will lead a large, multi‑disciplinary organization with team members who blend data science, advanced analytics, AI, product design, and HR strategy skills and partner closely with the Chief People Officer, Digital & IT Officer, Customers, Product leaders and ES Leadership.

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver ongoing insights related to the external market - covering topics such as AI fluency, labor market dynamics, emergent tech trends, and innovative Employee Success practices and designs. By uniting deep internal workforce insights with broad external competitive context, ensure Salesforce remains agile, strategic and ahead of the curve.
