We are seeking a Deployment Strategist, a pivotal leadership role focused on driving the successful adoption and strategic implementation of AI-powered Agentforce solutions for our key customers. This role is less about hands-on technical execution and more about solutioning, strategic oversight, and executive relationship management.

As a trusted advisor, you will be the primary front-facing contact for Agentforce deployments, bridging customer strategic needs with our product innovation to ensure long-term success and value realization. You will play a critical role in defining and steering the Agentic AI strategy and roadmap for our customers, establishing guardrails, and ensuring responsible AI usage. You'll oversee complex deployments, fostering collaboration across various stakeholders, setting strategic goals, and proactively addressing challenges. You will also connect customer needs with product development, offering valuable field insights to influence enhancements and accelerate the product roadmap, ensuring the Agentforce platform remains at the forefront of AI solutions.

A successful Deployment Strategist will deeply understand our customers' most complex business problems, facilitating workshops like agent design and jobs-to-be-done to craft innovative and impactful solutions that leverage our Agentforce platform and beyond. You will be instrumental in addressing organizational readiness for AI adoption, guiding customers through the necessary changes to maximize their investment.

• Strategic Solutioning & Design Leadership:Lead the analysis and strategic design of intelligent AI-powered agents within Salesforce environments, leveraging Agentforce, Data Cloud, Flow, and Salesforce APIs.

• Deployment Ownership & Program Management:Provide comprehensive oversight for the successful deployment of Agentforce solutions, ensuring seamless integration with existing customer infrastructure. Monitor project progress, identify potential roadblocks, and strategically guide the optimization for long-term reliability, scalability, and security, including the establishment and governance of agent behavior guardrails.
  
• Executive Customer Relationship Management:Serve as the primary front-facing contact for Agentforce deployments, building and nurturing strong, trust-based relationships with C-suite executives and key customer stakeholders. Act as a strategic partner, deeply understanding their operational challenges and strategic goals, and presenting proposals that drive measurable value and adoption.
  
• AI Strategy & Responsible AI:Lead discussions around Agentic AI strategy and roadmapping for customers. Drive the adoption of foundational Responsible AI principles, including risk mitigation, bias and toxicity testing, and the setup of robust guardrails to ensure ethical and safe AI usage.
  
• Facilitation & Workshop Leadership:Design and lead interactive facilitation and workshopping sessions, such as agent design workshops and jobs-to-be-done analysis, to collaboratively define optimal AI solutions and drive alignment across customer teams.
  
• Conversation Design & User Experience: Apply foundational Conversation Design skills to guide the creation of intuitive, effective, and user-centric conversational AI experiences.
  
• Organizational Readiness & Change Management:Assess customer organizational readiness for AI adoption and guide them through necessary process transformations and reengineering to maximize the benefits of intelligent agents.
  
• Product Evolution & Strategic Feedback:Serve as a vital feedback loop between customers and internal product/engineering teams. Field observations will directly influence future product enhancements, help shape the strategic direction of our platform, and contribute to broader scalable product improvements.
