Event Senior Manager- Qualified

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.

Powered by AI Agents, Qualified helps revenue teams identify their most valuable buyers, engage them in real time, and convert interest into pipeline. As part of Salesforce, Qualified operates as a dedicated business unit focused on helping marketing and revenue teams transform how they generate pipeline in the age of AI.
