Product Management Director

About the role

Salesforce is the #1 AI CRM, where humans with agents drive customer success together. 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.

The Hyperforce Trust Platform product management team is responsible for the strategy and delivery of platform capabilities and services that enable security, availability, scale, and compliance for Salesforce products. We are looking for a Product Management leader to join the team and focus on future-proofing cryptography across Salesforce — including post-quantum readiness, encryption and key management system evolution, and modernization across Hyperforce.

Responsibilities

• Set strategic vision with executive management and define the roadmaps needed to achieve it.
• Partner with application teams consuming cryptography Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), compliance and legal stakeholders navigating regulatory requirements, and cloud infrastructure teams ensuring platform-level cryptographic primitives scale.
• Collaborate with engineering and operations peers to deliver both strategic and tactical plans and objectives.
• Own the delivery of platform products and services from planning through delivery and iteration, with strong product sense and customer focus.
• Build and ship high-quality, production-grade platform features using modern product practices, with AI as a core part of your workflow.
• Design and orchestrate complex platform programs where AI agents can integrate into engineering and compliance workflows, driving efficiency and innovation at scale.
• Contribute to building and maintaining shared system context — an explicit repository of platform designs, constraints, and standards — that enables engineering and AI tooling to operate accurately and reliably.

Requirements

• Shipped cryptographic platform services (Key Management System (KMS), HSM, encryption APIs) consumed by 100+ engineering teams.
• Navigated Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS)/FedRAMP cryptography audits through remediation and certification.
• Led cross-cloud platform initiatives requiring consensus across infrastructure, security, and compliance.
• Translated regulatory requirements (NIST standards, industry mandates) into actionable engineering roadmaps.
• Strong matrix leadership skills — building consensus across cloud infrastructure, application teams, security, legal, and compliance stakeholders.
• Communicate with executives effectively — distilling cryptographic complexity into business impact for non-technical audiences.
• Demonstrated, genuine AI-first approach to product management — using AI to move faster, synthesize complexity across the stack, and contribute beyond your core specialty.
• Experience using AI tools (e.g., Claude, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, etc.) in your day-to-day product workflows.
• Apply advanced prompt engineering skills — writing precise, structured prompts and cultivating the system context that makes AI outputs reliable, accurate, and production-ready.
• Hold a bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Engineering, Product Security, or related fields.

Qualifications

• Led post-quantum cryptography (PQC) migration planning or contributed to NIST PQC standardization efforts.
• Built cryptography services at hyperscaler scale (Amazon Web Services (AWS) KMS, Azure Key Vault, Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Cloud KMS equivalents).
• Background in cryptographic agility — designing systems that can swap algorithms and keys without service disruption.
• Led FIPS 140-3 or Common Criteria certification from scoping through Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP) approval, or contributed to NIST PQC standardization or early-adopter migration planning.
• Proven understanding of cloud infrastructure platforms including the major hyperscalers (AWS, GCP, Azure).
