Manager / Senior Manager, GTM Growth Strategy
salesforce.com, inc., Chicago, IL, United States
In order to reinforce Salesforce's position as the trusted #1 AI CRM in the era of the Agentic Enterprise, Salesforce is hyper-focused on activating high-impact levers to drive sustainable, scalable, and accelerated growth. We are seeking an experienced Manager / Sr. Manager to join the GTM Growth Strategy team and help fuel this long-term growth.
You will partner with Sales leaders and cross‑functional leaders to define, activate, and execute revenue‑unlocking initiatives that catalyze growth beyond business as usual. This will involve conducting current state analysis, developing revenue models, and optimizing our GTM model to unlock growth in underpenetrated markets/segments and drive focus on our most impactful growth opportunities. Projects will include leading strategic programs and initiatives, multi‑product GTM design for AI and consumption offerings, GTM framework development, market segmentation, pipeline analysis, performance measurement, and external research. Key deliverables will include robust analysis and the packaging of recommendations into presentation‑ready slide decks for executive leadership.
We are looking for a "strategic doer" who thrives at the intersection of strategy and execution—you don't just analyze a problem; you drive it through to impact. You have the curiosity and initiative to turn complex data and cross‑functional inputs into clear recommendations on highly impactful projects, balancing quantitative rigor with qualitative insight. You foster collaboration and bring others to the table, build coalitions and trust with cross‑functional peers and leaders, demonstrate the value of our work, and secure the buy‑in needed to turn recommendations into lasting impact. You will also clearly and confidently articulate recommendations to senior leadership. You are highly driven, organized, and thrive in a fast‑paced environment.
