## Description

Salesforce is hiring Deployment Strategists - engagement leaders who serve as the operational backbone, program lead, and business strategist for high-stakes customer migrations and platform modernizations. Operating in an AI-native delivery framework, you own the end-to-end delivery lifecycle for fast-paced, high-impact engagements (typically 12 weeks or less) that transition enterprise customers to modern platforms like MC Next, Revenue Cloud, Tableau, and Data Cloud.

You're a hybrid of Program Manager, Engagement Lead, and Business Analyst. Rather than managing a schedule from the sidelines, you lead engagement strategy, direct cross-functional delivery pods, run executive governance, and use modern AI tools to accelerate discovery and execution - keeping complex migrations on track and ensuring enterprise customers see value fast.

What You'll Be Doing

 * Own engagement success end-to-end as the single point of accountability across the full lifecycle: Discovery * Migration Strategy * Execution Oversight * Value Realization & Handoff
 * Establish engagement governance, track critical-path milestones, manage scope, and proactively resolve delivery risks
 * Direct the day-to-day rhythm of cross-functional teams, including internal Migration Leads, Professional Services consultants, and SI Partners - keeping them unblocked and aligned on scope and delivery dates
 * Serve as the primary trusted contact for VP- and C-suite customer stakeholders, translating complex migration workstreams into clear business outcomes
 * Lead steering committee reviews and help customers navigate organizational change
 * Personally lead discovery workshops and "Jobs-to-be-Done" reviews, auditing legacy business processes and mapping requirements to standardized target platform patterns
 * Use AI tools (Claude, Cursor, Copilot, and automation agents) to synthesize legacy documentation, extract business logic, auto-generate project assets, and accelerate delivery workflows
 * Assess customer organizational readiness, define change enablement paths, and lead operational handoffs post-migration to support lasting adoption
