About Salesforce

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.

As a key member of Salesforce’s Employee Success – Global ES Operations team, this role shapes a world-class employee experience.

In this role, you will support Salesforce’s global Hire-to-Retire and Payroll transformation, driving process excellence, compliance, and continuous improvement while providing operational support to our Centers of Expertise. You will be a go-to specialist for complex Leave of Absence, Benefits, and other key aspects of the employee lifecycle, ensuring policies are applied with care, accuracy, and empathy.

Success in this position means thriving in a fast-paced environment, managing highly sensitive information with discretion, and acting as a proactive teammate who enjoys solving complex problems in an ambiguous environment.

Build trusted, consultative relationships with operational management and Employee Success partners at all levels to align on process, policy, and operational impacts.
Support development and maintenance of end-to-end SOPs and process maps in partnership with cross-functional stakeholders (Benefits/LOA, Payroll, Employee Relations, Legal/Compliance) to harmonize and standardize global operations.

Serve as liaison between Benefits/LOA vendors and Salesforce employees, while functioning as the primary escalation point for LOA specialists, managers, Total Rewards COE, and other stakeholders.
Act as subject matter expert on leave policies and regulations, interpreting Salesforce practices to provide expert advice, guidance, coaching, and case management for complex individual leave scenarios.
Partner with global stakeholders as a thought leader to design seamless, end-to-end experiences for high-visibility LOA and Benefits programs that prioritize employee experience.

Posting Statement

Salesforce is an equal opportunity employer and maintains a policy of non-discrimination with all employees and applicants for employment. What does that mean exactly? It means that at Salesforce, we believe in equality for all. And we believe we can lead the path to equality in part by creating a workplace that’s inclusive, and free from discrimination. Know your rights: workplace discrimination is illegal. Any employee or potential employee will be assessed on the basis of merit, competence and qualifications – without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender expression or identity, transgender status, age, disability, veteran or marital status, political viewpoint, or other classifications protected by law. This policy applies to current and prospective employees, no matter where they are in their Salesforce employment journey. It also applies to recruiting, hiring, job assignment, compensation, promotion, benefits, training, assessment of job performance, discipline, termination, and everything in between. Recruiting, hiring, and promotion decisions at Salesforce are fair and based on merit. The same goes for compensation, benefits, promotions, transfers, reduction in workforce, recall, training, and education.
