Salesforce Strategic Events is searching for an experienced Strategic Events Senior Manager to join our Dreamforce team, reporting to the Strategic Events Director, Dreamforce.

This is a dual-mode role that shifts in focus across the event lifecycle. Earlier in the year, you’ll operate as a strategic right hand to the Director, helping get the event off the ground by driving enablement, staffing strategy, executive narrative, and data/reporting rigor across the full program.

  • Own the integrity of event-wide metrics and reporting cadence, including post-event surveys, ROI analysis, and wrap-up reporting.

Requirements

  • 8-10+ years of progressive Event Operations and/or Marketing experience, ideally in large-scale B2B high-tech environments.
  • Demonstrated ability to operate across the full event lifecycle, from strategic planning through hands-on execution.
  • Track record of leading cross-functionally in a complex, matrixed organization.
  • Strong narrative and executive communication skills, working knowledge of AI tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Slackbot.
