This product management role will guide the future of the Inbox experience for all users in salesforce.com's award winning Sales Cloud product and extend our market leadership. This role calls for a strong, proactive leader capable of autonomously driving multiple projects in parallel and interested in delivering productivity, communications and intelligence solutions to our customers. Product managers who thrive in a fast paced, collaborative environment, and love working with the best technology team in the world should apply.
