About the Role
Salesforce is hiring Deployment Strategists who are customer-facing advisors defining AI strategy, shaping agentic solutions, and driving measurable adoption for enterprise customers. You will translate complex business challenges into agentic AI deployments that go live and generate real value, with engagements typically lasting 12 weeks or less. Your impact ensures customers realize lasting, scalable value from the solutions your team builds. This role specifically assesses candidates for Global Public Sector (Government, Nonprofit and/or Education) opportunities.
Responsibilities
- Lead end-to-end customer engagement across the complete value lifecycle — Identify → Commit → Deploy → Consume — owning outcomes at every stage.
- Define the customer's Agentic AI strategy and roadmap, leading design workshops, agent design sessions, and jobs-to-be-done analysis.
- Architect solutions spanning Salesforce's agentic AI platform, Data Cloud, and enterprise systems, with responsible AI governance.
- Manage engagement delivery end-to-end timelines, stakeholder communication, risk escalation, and progress reporting.
- Own adoption, consumption, and expansion metrics within your engagement scope, identifying blockers and developing strategies for value realization.
- Partner closely with Forward Deployed Engineers to align strategy with technical execution, keeping the team focused and on track.
- Develop customer solutions supported by AI tools like Cursor, Claude, and Salesforce's coding products.
- Serve as the primary customer-facing contact for Government, Nonprofit, and/or Education customers, building trust-based relationships with senior stakeholders.
- Present proposals, decisions, and outcomes in terms of business value, not just technical detail.
- Assess customer readiness for AI adoption and guide change management and process transformation.
- Synthesize field insights and translate them into actionable product feedback for Salesforce's Agentic AI platform roadmap.
Requirements
- A degree in Computer Science or a related field.
- 4+ years of experience in strategic solutioning, technical advisory, or delivery leadership or program management for enterprise cloud or SaaS technology.
- Proven experience managing and delivering customer-facing projects within Public Sector, Higher Education, or Nonprofit environments.
- Prior customer-facing delivery experience (consulting, professional services, or technical advisory).
- Demonstrated understanding of the Salesforce platform and ecosystem, including Agentic AI capabilities and Data Cloud.
- Working knowledge of one or more programming languages: Python, JavaScript, Java, or Apex.
- Proven ability to lead and own complex, ambiguous engagements end-to-end — from discovery through to measurable outcomes.
- Experience leading AI/LLM solution design, including agentic AI strategy, conversation design, and responsible AI practices.
- Strong project and program management skills — ability to run multiple work-streams, manage stakeholder expectations, and keep delivery on track in ambiguous environments.
- Ability to travel 25% of the time to customer sites.
