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.

The Experience
The Agentic Talent Development team at Salesforce is building a modern leadership growth and succession ecosystem that moves beyond traditional succession planning toward a dynamic, data-driven system that continuously identifies, develops, and retains enterprise leadership talent. As the Director, Agentic Leadership Growth & Succession, you will own the enterprise strategy for leadership readiness, succession acceleration, and leadership mobility - translating talent intelligence into targeted actions that build bench strength, reduce succession risk, and strengthen Salesforce's long-term organizational capability. This is a hybrid role with three days in office each week.

What You'll Actually Be Doing

• Define and evolve Salesforce's enterprise strategy for leadership readiness and succession acceleration, translating talent review, workforce planning, and business strategy insights into targeted leadership growth investments across Director through executive populations.
• Own and scale the enterprise leadership acceleration portfolio, including rotational programs, strategic stretch assignments, and mobility mechanisms that connect high-potential and successor talent to experiences that increase scope, complexity, and enterprise exposure.
• Leverage talent intelligence, succession analytics, and AI-enabled tools to identify future leadership opportunities and risks, improve internal mobility, and scale personalized in-flow development experiences aligned to succession priorities.
• Define and own success metrics tied to leadership readiness, succession health, retention, and bench strength - partnering with Workforce Planning and Talent teams to anticipate future capability requirements and inform executive talent decisions.

You're Our Person If...

• You have 10+ years of experience leading leadership development, succession strategy, talent acceleration, or executive development in large global organizations, with proven success translating talent intelligence into measurable business outcomes.
• You have deep experience designing enterprise talent systems that accelerate leadership readiness, mobility, and retention across Director, Senior Director, Vice President, and executive populations.
• You have experience integrating AI-enabled coaching, talent intelligence, or career growth technologies into leadership ecosystems, with strong understanding of succession planning, workforce strategy, and leadership pipeline management.
• You have demonstrated ability to influence senior executives and lead cross-functional talent transformation initiatives, with strong systems-thinking and strategic planning capabilities.

Even Better If...

• You have experience working within a large technology company navigating organizational transformation or workforce redesign.
• You are familiar with AI-enabled talent platforms, coaching tools, or career marketplace technologies.
• You have demonstrated curiosity about the future of work, workforce transformation, and the evolving role of AI in leadership development.
