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.

The Experience
You'll join the Central Marketing Planning and Strategy team, the group that operationalizes and drives end-to-end marketing planning, strategy, operations, and critical initiatives for the broader marketing org. This is a role for someone who can take an ambiguous problem and build the process or framework from scratch, working closely with Finance & Strategy and senior marketing leadership to shape how the business runs. This is a hybrid role with three days in office each week.
What You'll Actually Be Doing

  • Independently define and build new planning frameworks and processes where none currently exist, rather than executing against an established plan.
  • Own and evolve the end-to-end outlook and actuals reporting process, ensuring alignment between internal marketing systems and corporate Finance & Strategy (F&S) data.
  • Drive annual planning, quarterly close, and other strategic initiatives critical to the marketing organization's success, from framing the approach through execution.
  • Design and lead data integrity and governance standards across global marketing, partnering with systems owners to clean and simplify data across multiple systems of record and reduce manual work as the org scales.
  • Lead financial reporting adjustments and historical data restatements following organizational changes to maintain continuity and accuracy.
  • Build and own spend reports and executive decks, using Salesforce tools to surface trends and analysis for senior leadership.
  • Partner with Functional Strategy & Planning and Finance & Strategy teams to manage budget execution and track quarterly spend trends.
  • Act as a key insights resource for business partners across marketing, developing enablement materials that scale knowledge and support informed decision-making.

You're Our Person If...

  • You have 5-7 years of experience in Finance, Analytics, and/or Business Operations.
  • You've owned a project or initiative end-to-end, from ambiguity to execution, rather than supporting someone else's plan.
  • You operate with minimal oversight, translating ambiguous business needs into structured deliverables.
  • You're a proactive self-starter who can own initiatives end-to-end with minimal oversight.
  • You have advanced proficiency in Excel, PowerPoint, and Google Suite, and pick up new systems quickly.
  • You have strong analytical and financial modeling skills and can translate data into actionable insights.
  • You've influenced cross-functional stakeholders and communicated effectively with senior leaders.
  • You have excellent organizational, time management, and prioritization skills in a fast-paced environment.
  • You bring a structured, proactive approach to problem-solving and spotting opportunities.
  • You have high attention to detail and a commitment to quality execution.
  • You're able to work PST hours.

Even Better If...

  • You have experience with data visualization and analytics tools like Tableau or Salesforce Analytics.
  • You hold a Salesforce or Tableau certification.
  • You have knowledge of GAAP-based accounting recognition policies.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
