Senior Manager, Data Operations & Governance

Description About the Team

The Data Programs & Insights team sits at the heart of Salesforce's product data strategy, owning the operational and governance frameworks that power executive-level financial reporting across our entire product suite. Our team is the authoritative source for the product components of the company Accountability Performance Matrix (APM), the backbone of Salesforce's pipeline, ACV, AOV, and attrition reporting used in every executive review, product strategy discussion, and financial planning cycle.

When senior leadership needs to understand how the business is performing, they rely on the data frameworks our team owns and maintains.

Salesforce is currently undergoing a major data transformation: modernizing our data foundations to improve data quality, simplify revenue operations processes, rethink how we measure success, and make data available in near real-time across the company. Throughout this scope of work, we serve as the bridge between Product Strategy and Data Engineering — turning complex business needs into scalable data systems while overseeing governance of core product data across the organization.

This is a team for people who thrive at the intersection of analytical rigor, operational excellence, and cross-functional influence. Our team has direct visibility into decisions that shape Salesforce's long-term data strategy and a hand in building the future state of how we operate.
