The Experience
The Experience Services Competency within Salesforce Professional Services is seeking a Business Strategy Director. The Business Strategy Director is responsible for ensuring overall delivery excellence and quality across Salesforce Professional Services customers. Partnering with C-level customers, Business Strategists craft innovative, industry-specific strategies that clearly define the vision, metrics, and roadmap to achieve desired business outcomes.
