salesforce.com CRM: Sr. Product Manager

Salesforce.com has evolved from a startup founded by four people in a cramped San Francisco apartment seven years ago to a company with more than 1,600 employees and $100 million in quarterly revenue today. As a pioneer in on-demand business services, we are transforming the business software industry, championing what we call the “democratization” of software—offering small companies the benefits of sophisticated business applications, a luxury previously affordable only by large enterprises. Our 24,800 customers range in size from tiny companies to global multinational corporations and represent diverse industries. Companies such as Cisco Systems, Corporate Express, AOL, and Avis and Budget have hundreds or thousands of users taking advantage of our service every day.

Working at salesforce.com presents a unique employment opportunity. First, we have transformed the software industry with our new software-as-a-service model. Since 1999, we have been tireless proponents of this new business model. Second, we have transformed the nature of the relationship between software companies and customers, partners, and developers. Salesforce.com has created what is truly an anomaly in the software industry— happy, successful customers, partners, and developers. Third, our “integrated philanthropy” model is changing the notion of what it takes to be a socially responsible company. With our 1 percent model, we have blended career and community service in a way that few other companies have. As employees, we have taken on the task to make a difference in the world at the local level, the national level, and the international level. Fourth, working at salesforce.com has helped each of us develop a very different notion of what a “job” is vis-à-vis our earlier experiences. The company has an invigorating and stimulating environment with smart colleagues and challenging work, giving all of us the opportunity to do some of the best work of our careers.
