The Experience

This position offers an exceptional opportunity to lead within the Salesforce Product & Pricing Operations organization. As the Senior Director, you will have the unique opportunity to shape our integration strategy for acquired businesses and fundamentally transform our product launch process across the company.

Both initiatives aim to achieve more successful products and deliver superior experiences for our customers, sellers, and operators. The ideal candidate is a strategic leader and operational transformer who excels at translating complex strategies into repeatable, scalable systems.

This role reports to VP of Product and Pricing Operations within the COFO organization.

Transform the New Product Introduction (NPI) process and underlying systems to optimize speed-to-market and operational rigors; lead the transition from successful transformation of new product launches launches into long-term, scalable operations; partner closely with Product Management and Engineering to ensure accurate, high-quality operational delivery of product licensing and entitlements.

Establish executive-level governance frameworks and launch readiness councils to align cross-functional leadership across Product, Engineering, Marketing, Sales, Operations, Legal, and Finance; define, monitor, and optimize key product operations performance metrics (e.g., launch cycle time, product configuration accuracy, SKU adoption, and seller friction metrics) to measure operational impact.

Lead, build, and mentor a high-performing team of product and pricing operations professionals, fostering a culture of operational excellence, accountability, and continuous process improvement; drive comprehensive change management plans—including training, stakeholder communications, and playbooks—to ensure seamless cross-functional adoption of modernized launch and pricing processes.

Influence annual compensation planning cycles to incorporate solutions that support successful launch of new and organic products
