Description
About the Role
The Partner Security, Governance, and Guardrails Platform is a new and critical frontier at Salesforce — ensuring that partner-deployed technology, especially AI agents, operates securely, predictably, and responsibly across every enterprise environment. As the Director of Product Management for this domain, you will define the zero-to-one strategy for a platform that gives Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) the tools they need to enforce trust, maintain operational control, and govern AI at scale. This role sits at the intersection of enterprise security, agentic AI, and partner ecosystems — and the work you do here will shape how Salesforce's broader partner community safely innovates with AI.
What You'll Be Doing
Own the platform vision and roadmap across strategic pillars including Permission Enforcement, Agent Learning & Data Governance, Cross-Org Policy Enforcement, and Cost Control & Resource Governance
Pioneer dynamic permission models that transition AI agents from static, user-inherited permissions to task-driven access envelopes, giving agents secure and distinct identities at runtime
Build data governance controls that precisely define what partner-deployed agents can ingest, retain, or learn from customer data — including strict egress policies for external AI endpoints
Design cross-org policy architecture that enables ISVs to declare baseline security policies that automatically propagate across all subscriber organizations where their packages are installed
Deliver cost and resource governance tooling including a two-tier governance mesh that lets ISVs configure default caps and throttling rules for flex credit consumption, preventing runaway agent costs and unexpected customer bill-shock
Manage end-to-end service lifecycle for key platform services including the Partner Guardrail Service, Partner Security Assistant, Permission Enforcer, Cost Control Framework, Partner Agent Learning Governance Service, and Action Constraint Policy Engine
Collaborate across functions — Engineering, Security, Legal, Go-To-Market, and external ISV partners — to deliver mission-critical trust infrastructure that scales across the Salesforce ecosystem
What We're Looking For
Required Qualifications
10+ years of progressive product management experience, with a proven track record in Director-level or equivalent leadership roles
Deep domain expertise in enterprise security, trust, identity, data governance, and platform product management
Demonstrated experience working with ISVs, partner ecosystems, or B2B developer platforms
Strong understanding of AI technologies and agentic architectures — including LLMs and generative AI — and the unique security and compliance challenges they introduce
Proven success securing resources and launching greenfield enterprise or platform products from zero to one
Ability to engage deeply in complex architectural discussions with engineering counterparts and translate them into clear, customer-centric product requirements
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with experience aligning diverse cross-functional teams around shared outcomes
Preferred Qualifications
Practitioner experience with analytics tools such as Snowflake
Familiarity with ISV app distribution models, AppExchange, or Salesforce platform packaging
Experience building compliance, policy enforcement, or runtime governance products
Background in developer platform or infrastructure product management
A related technical degree
Why Join?
This is a rare opportunity to build something entirely new — a platform that will become foundational to how Salesforce's partner ecosystem deploys AI responsibly. You'll work with some of the most forward-thinking engineers and partners in the industry, defining the standards for agentic AI governance before those standards are written. If you're energized by solving hard, ambiguous problems at the frontier of AI safety and enterprise trust, this role was designed for you.
