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 looking for a Senior Engagement Manager to join India PS Pre-Sales team in India. This is a senior individual contributor + team leadership role sitting at the intersection of pre-sales, solution architecture, and delivery — you will own the scoping, solutioning, and commercialisation of complex Salesforce PS engagements across the India enterprise market.

You will be the trusted technical advisor to customers and account teams during the pre-sales cycle, responsible for shaping winning
PS deals from qualification through to SPW/SOW signature.

What You'll Do

• Lead end-to-end PS pre-sales engagements — from discovery and scoping through to effort estimation, SPW/proposal creation, and deal closure.

• Architect Agentforce-led solutions for enterprise customers, designing agentic workflows, LLM orchestration, and AI automationpatterns on the Salesforce platform.

• Partner with AEs, Solution Engineers, and Customer Success to position PS as a strategic differentiator on complex, multi-cloud opportunities.

• Own the effort estimation and resource planning process — producing credible, commercially sound PS proposals that balance customer value with delivery margin.

• Conduct executive-level workshops and solution presentations with CXO stakeholders.

• Build reusable PS assets — solution blueprints, reference architectures, estimations, and proposal templates — to accelerate the team.

• Mentor junior team members and contribute to the PS Pre-Sales practice capability agenda.

What We're Looking For
Must-have:

• Overall 12 years of experience and 8+ years of Salesforce experience, with at least 3–4 years in a pre-sales or solution architecture role.

• Hands-on Agentforce expertise — you have designed and scoped agentic solutions involving Einstein Bots, Agentforce, Prompt Builder, Model Builder, or equivalent AI orchestration on Salesforce

• Strong understanding of the Salesforce PS delivery model — you know how to scope, estimate, and price professional services engagements.

• Proven experience writing SPWs, proposals, and DDs — you can own a document end to end.

• Excellent executive communication and storytelling skills — you are credible in a boardroom.

• Salesforce certifications: minimum Application Architect or System Architect; Agentforce Specialist a strong plus.

Good to have:

• Experience across multiple Salesforce clouds — Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, MuleSoft, Data Cloud.

• Exposure to India enterprise market dynamics — FSI, Manufacturing, Hi-Tech, or Public Sector.

• Prior experience managing or mentoring a pre-sales team.

Why This Role

• Work on India's most complex and strategic Salesforce PS deals.

• Be at the forefront of Agentforce go-to-market in India — one of the highest-priority growth areas globally.

• Direct exposure to senior leadership and a high-visibility role within the PS organisation.

• Opportunity to shape how PS Pre-Sales operates and scales in
