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.

We are hiring a dynamic Principal designer to join our AgentExchange UX team. AgentExchange is the world's largest B2B marketplace, powering the Salesforce ecosystem with thousands of prebuilt AI solutions and tooling, apps, components, data solutions, and consulting services. We're redefining how customers discover, evaluate, and adopt technology to extend Salesforce.

We're a tight-knit team working at the intersection of marketplace design, enterprise scale, and AI-powered innovation. We value systems thinking, thoughtful storytelling, collaboration and drive. To be successful in this role, you will bring proven creative leadership, top-notch visual design skills, and the demonstrated ability to influence senior leadership in an enterprise environment.

About Salesforce UX
Our teams craft Salesforce's enterprise and consumer products, create new design patterns and guidelines, and partner with cross-disciplinary teams to bring human-centered experiences to life. These roles are an opportunity to solve meaningful problems at scale, design for inclusivity and accessibility, and make life better for our users and customers.
You'll set and articulate the product and feature vision by leveraging your skills in visualization, influence, and empathy, guiding the team through its implementation. You'll partner closely with product and technology leaders as a trusted, senior stakeholder in our release roadmap. You'll immerse yourself in the end-to-end experience of your work, creating a variety of design artifacts to communicate ideas and direction and to persuade senior audiences. Ultimately, you'll make products people love to use — tools that make a salesperson's day more productive, a marketer's campaign more powerful, and a developer's app more feature-rich. If you want to use your UX skills to set the creative vision, inspire teams, and transform the way business gets done, we would love for you to join us!
