Venture Capital Operations Sr. Lead

Salesforce Operations Role

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.

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.

Launchpad — our startups program — is growing, and with that growth comes the need to build the operational foundation that makes everything else possible. This is a high-impact, infrastructure-building role that sits at the intersection of strategy, data, and operations. You will work directly with the Head of Startups and collaborate closely with the broader Sales Strategy and Launchpad teams to design, build, and scale the systems, processes, and artifacts that power Launchpad's go-to-market motion.

This is not a role for someone who wants to be handed a playbook. You'll be creating the playbook. You'll connect the dots between territory planning, forecasting dashboards, business plans, deal tracking, and GTM strategy — ensuring that the decisions we make in one area are reflected correctly across all others. You'll bring both operational rigor and strategic curiosity, and you'll embrace AI-native, agent-first ways of working to build processes that are efficient and scalable from day one.

If you're someone who thrives in ambiguity, loves building structure from scratch, and wants to grow into a strategic leader — this is your role.
