The world of work as we know it is changing and we're looking for Trailblazers who are passionate about bettering business and the world through AI, driving innovation, and keeping Salesforce's core values at the heart of it all.

This executive will lead a high-performing global Solutions Engineering organization and shape a differentiated go-to-market strategy that reinforces Tableau as a strategic platform within Salesforce. The SVP will further position Tableau as the semantic intelligence layer for the AI-first enterprise, accelerating adoption and expansion across Data360, Agentforce, and Customer 360.

The role will be instrumental in aligning Sales, Industry, Product, Customer Success, Marketing, and Strategy, while serving as a senior executive in strategic customer engagements and large-scale initiatives. As the head of Global Solution Engineering, the SVP will foster a strong, values-driven culture, build trusted customer relationships, and serve as a Tableau evangelist across the broader Salesforce ecosystem.

• Drive continuous innovation in solution-selling strategies, ensuring teams deliver differentiated, industry-specific value propositions aligned to customer needs.
• Build and sustain trusted C-level relationships with strategic customers, guiding complex digital transformation initiatives and delivering measurable business outcomes.
• Partner with Sales leadership (i.e., regional SVPs, EVPs, OU leaders) to execute growth-focused go-to-market strategies and embed Tableau across the field as a core growth priority.
• Partner closely with Product, Engineering, and Innovation teams to align to the product roadmap and enable the field to clearly articulate and deliver Tableau's value - particularly across Tableau Next, the semantic layer, and the Agentforce integration story.
• Champion diversity and inclusion while driving talent development, performance management, and succession planning to ensure leadership continuity and career growth.
• Serve as a cultural ambassador and role model for Salesforce values, setting a high bar for leadership excellence across the global organization.
