About the Role
Salesforce is the #1 AI CRM, where ambition meets action, tech meets trust, and innovation is a way of life. We are seeking a Technical Product Strategist to join our Product Strategy & Innovation team. This role offers a unique opportunity to operate at the intersection of market dynamics, product positioning, and complex technical architecture—helping define where Salesforce invests, how we position our platform, and why.

Rather than managing sprint backlogs or short-term execution roadmaps, you will work with a team of technical product strategists to identify emerging white spaces, evaluate build-buy-partner options, and translate macro market shifts into actionable platform strategies. You will contribute to forward-looking technology theses and help ensure Salesforce invests in the right opportunities with sound commercial and technical models.

Key responsibilities include supporting long-range product strategy through market research and competitive evaluations, analyzing productization pathways for core capabilities such as trust infrastructure and agentic AI, applying build-buy-partner frameworks, translating market and technology paradigms into investment theses, mapping portfolio gaps, synthesizing cross-functional signals, assessing market viability, supporting global strategy initiatives, evaluating go-to-market models, monitoring horizon signals, and delivering executive recommendations.

Experience
5+ years of experience post-undergraduate or post-graduate degree in product strategy, technology strategy, corporate strategy, management consulting, or technical product management at a leading cloud platform or enterprise software company.
Strong understanding of enterprise AI/ML architectures, agentic systems, and platform integration patterns.
Fluency in enterprise systems of record, data platforms, and SaaS infrastructure, including AI's impact on software economics.
Experience with build-buy-partner evaluations, market entry strategies, or M&A market research.
Excellent communication and presentation skills with the ability to translate complex technical topics into clear executive narratives.
High comfort with ambiguity and strong quantitative and qualitative problem-solving skills.

About you
Strategic thinker who looks ahead of trends and can systematically analyze portfolio gaps and technical investment options.
Ability to build strategic frameworks that shape enterprise platforms.
Strong collaborator able to integrate technical research, engineering capabilities, market intelligence, and M&A trends.
Comfortable working in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment.
Excellent at drafting clear, well-structured strategic memos and presentations for senior leadership.

Qualifications
Master’s degree (MBA, MS, or equivalent) in a business or technical field is preferred.
Background in technical strategy, corporate innovation, or tech strategy consulting is a plus.
Familiarity with developer platform ecosystems, AI-assisted software development, and modern developer tooling is advantageous.
Domain exposure to enterprise supply chain automation, process agentification, or vertical AI applications is beneficial.
Experience in venture capital, corporate development, or tech investment analysis is a plus.
A builder's mindset focused on evaluating new markets, business models, and emerging paradigms rather than optimizing existing feature backlogs.
