Job summary

Salesforce is seeking a Project Manager to lead day-to-day planning and execution of Recruiting Transformation projects, turning program-level strategy into scoped plans, milestones, and delivered outcomes, in close partnership with program leads and cross-functional stakeholders.

This role requires strong project management fundamentals, excellent communication, and the ability to manage multiple moderate-to-high complexity projects across business and technical teams.

Qualifications

• Proven experience managing projects from initiation through close-out.
• Expert planning, capacity planning, and methodologies (Agile, Waterfall, or hybrid).
• Familiarity with recruiting/talent acquisition processes is strongly preferred.
• Excellent written and verbal communication, with ability to present to senior stakeholders.
• Strong critical-thinking and problem-solving across cross-functional contexts.
• Ability to work effectively with virtual and global teams.
• Strong influencing and negotiation skills with large, complex projects.
• Experience with data gathering and translating data into status insights.

Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end planning and execution of assigned Recruiting Transformation projects: define scope, milestones, dependencies, resourcing, and success criteria; own the project plan, schedule, issues, and risks — managing multiple concurrent projects of moderate-to-high complexity across business areas and owners.
• Build and maintain detailed project plans, timelines, and RAID logs; proactively identify and mitigate risks, and manage project intake, prioritization, and change control, ensuring scope changes are documented, assessed for impact, and approved.
• Coordinate cross-functional workstreams (SMEs, Optimization, Compliance, Enablement) and manage dependencies with other teams and business functions to keep deliverables on time, in scope, and on budget.
• Interact daily with development, support, and cross-functional business teams and global process owners to shape program plans and schedules and ensure smooth delivery of solutions and deliverables.
• Track and report project status, metrics, and health (RAG status) to stakeholders and leadership on a regular cadence.
• Own project documentation: charters, status reports, meeting notes, decision logs, and process/change-management artifacts.
• Drive clear, consistent communication across teams and stakeholders — status updates, escalations, and readouts — and support change management and enablement planning for project rollouts, including stakeholder socialization.
• Facilitate project meetings, working sessions, and reviews; drive decisions and follow-through on action items, and provide leadership to local and virtual project teams, building a collaborative, productive environment.
• Conduct post-project reviews/retrospectives to capture lessons learned, and assist in developing/delivering presentations and status readouts for leaders and senior executives.
