Senior Manager, Strategy & Operations - Missionforce
salesforce.com, inc., San Francisco, CA, United States
Job Category: Operations
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.
About the Role Reporting to the Senior Director of Strategy & Operations, you will operate as a thinking partner and execution arm on the hardest, most ambiguous problems facing the Missionforce business. This is not a functional role with clearly defined swim lanes. Instead, you work alongside the Senior Director on whatever matters most—translating complexity, driving cross‑functional workstreams, and building the materials that help leadership make decisions.
This role is an apprenticeship in executive problem‑solving. You'll get exposure to the full range of challenges facing a high‑growth government cloud business—commercial, technical, organizational—and build the judgment and versatility to operate at the next level.
What You'll Do
Own pieces of the hardest problems—from running analysis, coordinating stakeholders, drafting materials, and driving follow‑through when the Senior Director is tackling a complex, cross‑functional issue.
Build executive‑ready content—translate messy, incomplete information into clear, structured slides and narratives that executives can quickly understand and act on.
Develop solutions across functional boundaries—work across Sales, Engineering, Finance, Product, Legal, and other teams to drive progress on initiatives that don’t fit neatly into any one mandate.
Stay current on the business—proactively track major deals, technical milestones, and organizational changes to spot connections and surface insights.
Operate with increasing independence—start by collaborating closely with the Senior Director and, over time, take on problems end‑to‑end.
What We're Looking For
5‑7 years in strategy consulting, investment banking, or corporate strategy; demonstrated ability to learn quickly across very different contexts—technical, financial, and organizational.
Strong analytical and communication skills; ability to structure thinking clearly in writing and slides.
High tolerance for ambiguity and comfort working on problems without a clear roadmap.
Bias toward action and follow‑through—you don’t just identify problems, you drive them to resolution.
Experience working with or presenting to senior executives preferred.
Compensation and Benefits Base salary range: $143,400 – $216,900 annually. In select cities within the San Francisco and New York City metropolitan area, the base salary range is $172,200 – $236,700 annually. The range represents base salary only and does not include bonus, incentive, equity, or benefits. Additional benefits include time‑off programs; medical, dental, vision, and mental health support; paid parental leave; life and disability insurance; 401(k); and employee stock purchasing program.
