Join us in shaping the evolution of the Digital Customer Experience as a Sr. Program Manager, Creative Design. You’ll help design the operational future of how the Creative Design team delivers impact at scale — creating conditions where designers, researchers, and strategists can focus on what they do best: building meaningful, accessible digital experiences for millions of customers.

The Role:

We’re seeking an experienced Program Manager to drive operational excellence, program delivery, and process improvement for the Creative Design team within the User Experience & Creative Design (UXCD) organization. This role will focus exclusively on the Creative Design function — acting as the operational hub for the team. You’ll manage project flow, vendor partnerships, documentation, and tooling alignment to ensure the Creative Design team delivers consistently high-quality, on-brand work that supports the digital ecosystem. This role requires exceptional organizational and prioritization skills to manage a high-volume, cross-modality portfolio of creative projects across editorial, video, and graphic design.

Responsibilities:

• Drive the strategic operations of the Creative Design team by coordinating project requests, creating workback schedules, and monitoring deliverables.
• Lead weekly scrum meetings to reinforce clarity, maintain strategic alignment, and remove barriers to high-impact deliverables.
• Oversee project intake, prioritization, and capacity planning in partnership with program and creative leads, ensuring alignment through well-structured discovery and kickoff sessions.
• Design and scale processes, templates, and playbooks that streamline execution and improve visibility.
• Partner with leadership on strategic planning, offsites, quarterly business reviews, and org-wide initiatives to drive continuous improvement and operational excellence.
• Cultivate strong cross-functional partnerships with teams such as PMO, DET, and Digital Success Ops to ensure alignment, resource efficiency, and program delivery across shared initiatives.
• Manage vendor relationships and research tool procurement in partnership with DesignOps and Finance.
• Maintain operational tooling and reporting across systems.
• Partner with UXCD leadership to forecast resourcing needs, model team capacity, and maintain sustainable workloads.
• Deliver executive-ready dashboards, reports, and communications that clearly articulate program health and outcomes.
• Champion collaboration, inclusion, and creative excellence across Digital Success and the Customer Success organization.

Experience:

• 5+ years of program or operations management experience, including 3+ years supporting creative editorial, video, or graphic design organizations.
• Proven success managing cross-functional initiatives with multiple stakeholders and competing priorities.
• Strong understanding of editorial, video, and graphic design creative processes, project workflows, and operations.
• Experience managing vendors, creative partners, and external resource budgets.
• Skilled in program governance, documentation, and process optimization.
• Proficiency with Smartsheet, Asana, JIRA, or similar project management tools.
• Experienced with collaboration platforms (Slack, Confluence, Miro, Google Workspace, Figjam, LucidChart).
• Proficiency with functions and formulas in Google Sheets, as well as workflow logic.
• Ability to develop and maintain dashboards for visibility into project health, capacity, and delivery.
• Exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills.

Nice-to-Have:

• Experience in Digital Customer Success, DesignOps, or Customer Experience organizations.
• Background working with distributed global teams across time zones.
• Experience supporting creative production pipelines across graphic design, motion, and design system outputs.
• Experience using Salesforce products and understanding digital experience platforms.
• PMP, Agile, or equivalent program management certification.
• Strong interest in AI-driven customer experiences and data-informed design.

Posting Statement

Salesforce is an equal opportunity employer and maintains a policy of non-discrimination with all employees and applicants for employment. What does that mean exactly? It means that at Salesforce, we believe in equality for all. And we believe we can lead the path to equality in part by creating a workplace that’s inclusive, and free from discrimination. Know your rights: workplace discrimination is illegal. Any employee or potential employee will be assessed on the basis of merit, competence and qualifications – without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender expression or identity, transgender status, age, disability, veteran or marital status, political viewpoint, or other classifications protected by law. This policy applies to current and prospective employees, no matter where they are in their Salesforce employment journey. It also applies to recruiting, hiring, job assignment, compensation, promotion, benefits, training, assessment of job performance, discipline, termination, and everything in between. Recruiting, hiring, and promotion decisions at Salesforce are fair and based on merit. The same goes for compensation, benefits, promotions, transfers, reduction in workforce, recall, training, and education.

In the United States, compensation offered will be determined by factors such as location, job level, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. Certain roles may be eligible for incentive compensation, equity, and benefits.
