Director, Public Affairs

Director Of Public Affairs

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Director of Public Affairs to operationalize and drive our public affairs campaign program. Reporting directly to the Vice President of Public Affairs and Strategic Relations, this role is central to translating strategic priorities into integrated, results-driven campaigns that advance the company's policy objectives, support our sales teams, protect and grow our reputation, and expand its influence with policymakers, third-party stakeholders, and the public.

The ideal candidate brings deep experience executing sophisticated public affairs strategies—spanning strategic communications, earned and paid media, coalition building, and issues management. This is a high-impact, execution-focused leadership role for a person who thrives in a fast-moving environment and can seamlessly translate policy goals into compelling public narratives and tangible advocacy outcomes.

This position is based in Washington, DC or San Francisco, CA and will work a hybrid schedule in the office 3 days a week. Candidates in either location will be considered; occasional travel between offices and to key policy events is expected (approximately 15–20% of the time).

Salesforce is an equal opportunity employer and maintains a policy of non-discrimination with all employees and applicants for employment. What does that mean exactly? It means that at Salesforce, we believe in equality for all. And we believe we can lead the path to equality in part by creating a workplace that's inclusive, and free from discrimination. Know your rights: workplace discrimination is illegal. Any employee or potential employee will be assessed on the basis of merit, competence and qualifications – without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender expression or identity, transgender status, age, disability, veteran or marital status, political viewpoint, or other classifications protected by law. This policy applies to current and prospective employees, no matter where they are in their Salesforce employment journey. It also applies to recruiting, hiring, job assignment, compensation, promotion, benefits, training, assessment of job performance, discipline, termination, and everything in between. Recruiting, hiring, and promotion decisions at Salesforce are fair and based on merit. The same goes for compensation, benefits, promotions, transfers, reduction in workforce, recall, training, and education.
