Job Details

The Experience
Location: Bellevue, San Francisco or McLean

Salesforce is seeking a Manager of Governance, Risk and Compliance Security Automation to lead the design, deployment, and scaling of compliance automation capabilities within Security. This role combines technical product leadership with hands-on engineering execution, and is built for someone who views regulatory compliance and governance as a systems-engineering challenge rather than a manual checklist.

You will own the strategic roadmap for automating compliance workflows across our Common Controls Framework (CCF) control environment and execute on high-impact initiatives while building and leading a team of engineers. Your primary objective is to institutionalize engineering-driven compliance — replacing traditional manual efforts with automated solutions for control execution, audit facilitation, and continuous reporting.

What You'll Actually Be Doing

  • Define and execute a strategic roadmap to automate manual compliance workstreams, engineering scalable processes that align with enterprise risk priorities and key business targets.
  • Lead a specialized team of compliance engineers and product specialists, establishing technical standards and an engineering culture to modernize controls within the Security environment.
  • Architect and deploy an end-to-end agentic ecosystem to autonomously manage the compliance lifecycle, transitioning from manual evidence collection to automated execution and audit facilitation.
  • Collaborate with audit partners, governance, and engineering teams to ensure automation solutions meet rigorous compliance standards, and own cross-functional integrations that normalize compliance data across enterprise domains.


You're Our Person If...

  • You have 8+ years of experience in Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC), Cybersecurity, or Software Engineering, including 3+ years leading technical teams or managing complex product initiatives.
  • You have a proven ability to design enterprise-level automation tools and API integrations, with proficiency in Apex and/or Java, Salesforce Object Query Language (SOQL), SQL, and Python.
  • You have extensive experience evaluating security control effectiveness and translating complex data into technical requirements to build automated solutions that satisfy Payment Card Industry (PCI), and Service Organization Control 2 (SOC 2) audit scrutiny.
  • You have a track record of delivering real-time dashboards and automated reporting that transform raw system data into an executive-level source of truth for continuous risk oversight.


Even Better If...

  • You have experience with the Salesforce platform, including Salesforce Platform development or similar compliance automation systems.
  • You have familiarity with agentic frameworks to automate complex workflows, synthesize unstructured data, and resolve integration discrepancies between disparate systems.
  • You have experience fine-tuning or prompting Large Language Models (LLMs) to automate audit inquiry responses, evidence mapping, or natural language reporting.
  • You hold advanced technical or security certifications such as Salesforce Certified Technical Architect (CTA), Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP), or Certified Information Security Manager (CISM).
