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.

Applications for this position will be accepted on an ongoing basis.

The Forward Deployed (Value Acceleration) Consultant / Senior Consultant sits at the intersection of customer engagement and platform innovation. This role is responsible for designing, implementing, and optimizing automated business process solutions ("Blueprints") using Agentforce platform capabilities — while also owning the roadmap and feature lifecycle for scalable process solutions that drive measurable customer value.

You will partner closely with customer-facing teams, AI agents, engineering, and design to transform manual, fragmented workflows into automated solutions. You are customer-obsessed, execution-focused, and passionate about solving big problems with creative solutions at speed and quality.

Responsibilities

Blueprint Design & Execution

  • Partner with customer-facing team leaders to map and analyze customer requirements for new solutions
  • Build solution blueprints and workflow automations using current platform features
  • Work directly with AI agents and prompting tools to design automated, enterprise-grade solutions
  • Validate, test, and iterate blueprints for accuracy, consistency, and performance

Technical Specification & Delivery

  • Translate high-level strategic goals and customer requirements into clear Product Requirement Documents (PRDs), user stories, and technical acceptance criteria
  • Manage the product backlog, prioritize sprints, and drive consistent delivery using Agile methodologies
  • Document solution architecture, demonstrations, and implementation guidelines

Customer & Market Research

  • Conduct user interviews and quantitative analysis to deeply understand customer pain points and identify product opportunities
  • Act as the voice of the customer within the development process

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Partner with Engineering and Design (UX/UI) to ensure technical feasibility and intuitive user experiences
  • Provide structured, detailed feedback to Product Managers regarding feature gaps and enhancements needed to support scalability
  • Support rollout and enablement of blueprint solutions across teams and customers

Required Qualifications

  • 3-8+ years of experience in Product Management, Process Automation, Business Analysis, or Solutions Consulting
  • Experience building external-facing products in enterprise B2B SaaS environments
  • Strong understanding of business workflow mapping, process modeling, and process improvement methodologies
  • Proven experience translating business requirements into structured automated workflows or solutions
  • Hands-on technical experience with automation tools, workflow builders, AI prompting, or low/no-code platforms
  • Excellent spoken and written communication with ability to present complex ideas clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences
  • Proven ability to collaborate with virtual and global cross-functional teams including engineering, design, and customer success
  • Rigor and consistency in managing product backlogs and executing delivery

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in SaaS, AI automation, supply chain operations, contact center operations, or customer experience technology
  • Experience with prompt design or agent-based automation solutions
  • Familiarity with the Salesforce platform ecosystem (e.g., APIs, platform services)
  • Experience with network effects and cold start strategies
  • Familiarity with feature prioritization and product feedback processes
  • Lean, Six Sigma, or related process improvement certification
  • A related technical degree
  • Experience within the Supply Chain or Financial Services sector highly preferred

Success Metrics

  • Efficiency improvements and measurable reduction in manual work for customers
  • Blueprint adoption, usage outcomes, and tangible business value delivered (e.g., cost savings)
  • Quality and clarity of roadmap feedback influencing platform improvements
  • Time-to-value and scalability of solution deployments
  • Customer satisfaction and depth of engagement with deployed solutions

Questions you could be asked

  1. How do you structure and test a prompt to get consistent output from a language model?
  2. How do you decide when an AI agent can act on its own versus asking for approval first?
  3. Tell me about a workflow you automated with AI tools, end to end.
  4. Describe a typical day in a role like this one: which parts run through AI directly?
  5. If you removed AI from this role, what would be left, and how do you decide what still needs a human?

Adapt your resume

  • List these exact terms on your resume: Prompt engineering, AI agents, and AI Automation. An applicant tracking system matches the wording, not the idea.
  • Attach one line of real, concrete experience to at least one of them. A tool named with nothing behind it rarely survives a human read.
  • Show where AI is part of your daily process, not a one-off project. This role expects it to be a running habit.
