**** 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.

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.
** SVP, Research & Insights - Experience & Design Org

Reporting to the EVP, Chief Experience Officer, this executive will move Research further upstream into enterprise and product strategy while extending evaluation through implementation, production, and longitudinal use.#

* ** Human-Agent Research, Evaluation + Measurement.
** Human factors, behavioral science, trust and delegation, agent-behavior evaluation, scenario and rubric development, production-evidence interpretation, and experience-outcome measurement.
* ** Research Operations + Knowledge.
** Participant systems, customer access, governance and ethics, methods and standards, knowledge infrastructure, evidence taxonomy, tooling, vendors, and research program operations.# #

* Ensure foundational, generative, and evaluative research shape product strategy before solution direction and roadmap commitments harden.
* Create a continuous evaluation system spanning early concepts, working prototypes, implementations, shipped products, production behavior, and longitudinal customer outcomes.
* Define the research and measurement models Salesforce needs for human-agent collaboration, including trust, delegation, autonomy, authority, observability, intervention, correction, escalation, learning, and…
