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.

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.

We are seeking a dedicated and forward-thinking Senior Manager to join our management-led SOX 360 Program Office team. The role will report to the Senior Director of the SOX team and in this role, you will reduce the long-term testing burden of our control environment while ensuring our testing function runs cleanly, efficiently, and on time.

The ideal candidate pairs deep SOX/internal audit technical fundamentals with a builder’s mindset: comfortable evaluating which controls are ripe for automation, partnering with control owners, AI, and tooling teams to implement monitoring solutions, and leveraging data analytics to increase testing precision, reduce reliance on point-in-time sampling, and optimize program spend.

• Build Business Cases & Track Metrics:
  Quantify the ROI for continuous monitoring investments (effort saved, risk coverage, testing velocity) and socialize results with leadership. Track continuous monitoring coverage as a standing metric of program health.
• External Audit Reliance Alignment:
  Partner with external auditors to ensure continuous monitoring outputs, automated scripts, and Information Produced by Entity satisfy audit reliance standards.
• Outsourced Testing & Vendor Optimization Testing Oversight:
