Senior Manager, Solutions Builder

Salesforce Portfolio Leader

Production leadership required. Builder mindset non-negotiable.

Salesforce is hiring a Portfolio Leader to directly manage and grow a team of technical AI specialists deploying Agentforce solutions inside complex customer environments. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who can drive engineering excellence while operating at the executive level. This is not a traditional people manager, but a mission-critical multiplier on the agentic frontier. You will lead a blended delivery team made up of two specialist functions:
Forward Deployed Engineers (Technical Builders - who design, build, and deploy AI Agents directly in customer environments) and Deployment Strategists (Strategic Builders - customer-facing advisors who shape AI strategy, define use cases, and drive adoption). Together, these teams work alongside customers to co-build and deliver agentic AI solutions on a single large enterprise account or across multiple engagements simultaneously. You'll set the engineering standards, unblock complex customer deployments, and scale the talent that's shipping production AI today.

• Delivery Team Coordination:
  You own the capacity planning, talent acquisition, and staffing that ensures your cross-functional squads have the horsepower to deploy Agentforce at enterprise scale.

• AI-Augmented Leadership:
  Your team ships solutions using a best-in-class suite of AI tools (Cursor, Claude, and Salesforce coding products like Vibes). You will foster an inclusive, high-energy, and psychologically safe engineering culture where builders iterate fast and continuously level up.

• Direct Product Influence:
  You stand at the center of the product feedback loop. Partner directly with the Product and Engineering organizations on pilot programs and beta rollouts, turning raw field insights from high-stakes deployments into features on the Agentforce core roadmap.

• Scale Elite Talent:
  Recruit, mentor, and develop the next wave of Technical and Strategic Builders. Drive technical excellence, structure career growth, and foster an environment where shipping high-quality, production-ready systems is the norm.

• Maintain Operational Velocity:
  Monitor key delivery metrics, coach your teams on optimization, and run hard on complex customer escalations. You ensure your teams move from sketch to deployable in weeks, not months.

• Ultimate Technical Authority:
  Serve as the final technical escalation point for your portfolio. Maintain deep architectural judgment across the Salesforce platform, advanced LLM techniques, data pipelines, and agentic orchestration.

• Guide Enterprise Implementations:
  Unblock complex data readiness, tool integration, and multi-agent orchestration challenges. Step in directly to help your teams assess customer technical readiness, remove deployment barriers, and codify standardized, repeatable delivery methodologies.

• Drive Agentic Adoption:
  Build and anchor strong executive-level relationships within your customer portfolio, ensuring flawless Agentforce activation, rollout, and sustained production value.

• Accelerate Portfolio Performance:
  Operationally run your account portfolio with engineering rigor - monitoring health, delivery velocity, and core consumption metrics to accelerate progress toward customer business outcomes.

• Cross-Functional Alignment:
  Partner lock-step with Services, Account Success, and Product teams to help enterprises activate and consume Agentforce quickly, moving customers from pilot to production at hyper-speed.

• You Have Proven Leadership: 4+ years of direct people management or high-impact technical leadership steering cross-functional engineering or technical teams. You have a track record of hiring, mentoring, and scaling technical talent.

• Your fluent in GERMAN & ENGLISH

• You Bring Advanced Technical Depth:
  Deep architectural understanding of AI, LLMs, and the Salesforce ecosystem. You have hands-on experience with enterprise software implementation, data modeling, API…
