Salesforce is the #1 AI CRM, where humans with agents drive customer success together. Here, ambition meets action. Tech meets trust. And innovation isn’t a buzzword — it’s a way of life. 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.

Ready to level-up your career at the company leading workforce transformation in the agentic era? You’re in the right place! Agentforce is the future of AI, and you are the future of Salesforce.

*Please note we are seeking Spring 2027 or Winter 2026 grads. Start date for this role is August 2027.

About the Associate Product Manager Program

Calling all Trailblazers to join the Salesforce Product Management team!  Trailblazers drive innovation, disrupt industries, and shape the world around us. Whether it’s architecting agentic workflows, leveraging real-time data to drive business acumen, or delivering "AI-first" user experiences, Trailblazers propel the future of technology.

At Salesforce, nothing is more important than the success of our customers. The Product organization has been focused on delivering customer success since Day 1. Today, that means building the world’s most trusted AI + Data + CRM platform. We deeply understand our customers and constantly seek their input on our products and gather their feedback to improve what we do. We rely on data, experimentation, and AI research to validate our assumptions. We partner with engineering, UX, data science, research, marketing, finance, and customer success to rapidly deliver innovative products and next-generation technologies that change how our customers connect to their customers. Our B2B AI focus creates unique and exciting challenges for delivering the future of technology at scale, requiring us to package and design our products for adoption by thousands of top companies across the world.

We do all of this while giving back to the communities where we work and live. With our 1-1-1 Model we give 1% of our time, 1% of our product, and 1% of our equity back into the community. We believe that business is the greatest platform for change and are working toward a more equal world. And with our partners, customers, and Trailhead learning platform we are creating millions of jobs and skilled workers around the world.

The Role

As an Associate Product Manager, you will play a critical role in shaping the AI-driven future of technology.  You will join our product organization in an intensive 2-year rotational experience that allows you to develop your skills as a hands-on, technical AI product manager and learn to "PM the Salesforce way." You will gain experience building and managing products across diverse teams, get direct exposure to senior executives, and work with formal mentors to build your career in the AI era.

Responsibilities

• Embed within a small AI pods to rapidly prototype, test, and iterate on agentic features — moving from customer problem to working solution in tight cycles

• Understand and analyze user needs to define how autonomous agents can solve complex, multi-step business problems — including edge cases, failure modes, and trust boundaries

• Define success criteria and evaluation frameworks for agentic behaviors, including agent telemetry, grounding quality, and escalation paths

• Analyze market trends, competitor frameworks, qualitative customer research and quantitative product usage and agent performance signals to drive fast, informed iteration 

• Help define a product strategy that moves beyond static features toward autonomous, context-aware collaborators.

• Partner with designers to create intuitive user experiences where humans and AI agents work together seamlessly.

• Work with engineers and designers to build and launch features

• Help evangelize product vision through presentations to stakeholders

• Ability to deliver on commitments and thrive under the pressure of rapid AI release cycles.

• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, organizational, presentation, interpersonal, written and verbal communication skills.

• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and adapt to shifting technology landscapes.

Experience/Skills Desired

• Proven ability to deliver on commitments in high-growth environments

• Demonstrated ability to collaborate in small, fast-moving teams and drive decisions with incomplete information

• Comfort working in rapid iteration cycles — prototyping, testing with users, and adjusting quickly based on signal

• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, organizational, presentation, interpersonal, written and verbal communication skills.

• Familiarity with agent orchestration concepts (e.g., tool use, MCP, A2A, Skills, Agent Harnesses, memory, multi-agent coordination) and lifecycle concepts (evaluations, observability, optimization)

• Product management or design experience with a focus on software products and AI technologies.

• A track record of taking ownership end-to-end in ambiguous environments — from problem discovery through launch

• Exposure to responsible AI practices, including trust, safety, and ethical use considerations

• Experience building with or on top of AI APIs and developer tools (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, LangChain)
