**** 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.

The Salesforce Lightning Design System (SLDS) is the industry-defining, flagship framework that powers the user interfaces of the world's most trusted CRM. As a Senior Product Manager for SLDS, you will be the primary owner of platform health and roadmap across SLDS 1 and SLDS 2, ensuring our massive global base of developers and designers can build with confidence and give both pro-code developers and declarative builders the tools to make Salesforce their own.
This is a craft-focused, execution-intensive role. You will work closely with engineering, design, and accessibility specialists to ship consistent, high-quality increments that keep SLDS the trusted foundation it has always been.## What You'll Be DoingUI Customization Roadmap
* Shape the product roadmap for SLDS UI customization, covering both the pro-code to no-code/low-code user customization spectrum.
* Define requirements and acceptance criteria for new styling capabilities, ensuring they work consistently and support the full spectrum of customer use cases from ISV partners to enterprise admins.
* Collaborate deeply with design and engineering on strategy and execution.
* Prioritize opportunities based on user insights, data, and business objectives, adapting quickly to evolving needs and signals.

Design Systems Website
* Drive the product roadmap for the Design Systems website, the primary destination for developer and designer documentation, component references, and contribution guidance.
* Define and prioritize improvements to maximize builder self-service and reduce support burden.
* Collaborate with content, engineering, design and the broader community to keep documentation accurate, comprehensive, and up to date.

Platform Maintenance & Trust
* Own the backlog and release roadmap for SLDS 1 and SLDS 2: balancing new enhancements, bug resolution, technical debt, and ongoing compliance work to keep the system healthy and trustworthy at scale.
* Maintain absolute backward compatibility; every update must seamlessly support existing customer implementations without disruption.
* Collaborate with design tooling teams to ensure Figma UI kits, linters, and validators stay in sync with the component library.## What we’re looking for

Required Qualifications
* 5+ years of product management experience, with meaningful time on design systems, component libraries, developer tools, or frontend platforms at scale.
* Deep understanding of CSS architecture, design tokens, and component-level styling. You can speak fluently with engineers about the tradeoffs of a styling API decision.
* Genuine fluency bridging design and engineering: you understand the DOM, CSS, accessibility specs (ARIA, screen reader behavior), and Figma natively.
* Experience writing rigorous acceptance criteria, managing agile backlogs, and leading cross-functional delivery.
* Strong analytical instincts — comfortable interpreting telemetry, accessibility audits, and user research to drive prioritization.
* Clear, concise communicator across technical and non-technical audiences.

Preferred Qualifications
* Hands-on familiarity with SLDS, Lightning Web Components, or another…
