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&rsquo;t a buzzword &mdash; it&rsquo;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&rsquo;re in the right place! Agentforce is the future of AI, and you are the future of Salesforce.
The Global Creative team within Marketing is responsible for our brand and marketing creative. From building brand awareness campaigns to designing experiences like Dreamforce, our multi-faceted team does it all. We are a collection of thinkers, makers, and doers whose sole purpose is to bring the brand to life across our incredible portfolio of work.

About this role
Imagine if&hellip; creatives didn&rsquo;t have to say &ldquo;Imagine if&rdquo; when selling their work.

Sitting at the intersection of design and technology, this role partners closely with our global creative leaders to transform conceptual ideas into inspiring, tangible experiences. In collaboration with the Animator Storyteller - AI, you&rsquo;ll bring vision to life&mdash;whether through motion, 3D environments, prototypes, or other immersive formats&mdash; helping to reimagine event experiences, jumpstarting advertising concepts, unlocking bold new ways to pitch ideas to our leaders, and more. If they can dream it, you can make it.
As a meticulous craftsperson, you&rsquo;ll bring an exceptional eye for design detail, a deep understanding of brand systems, and the ability to translate brand principles into every visual touchpoint&mdash;ensuring each asset not only represents the best of us, but also showcases our brand in fresh, inspiring ways that energize our marketing and brand engine. No matter how quick the turnaround, your work reflects the highest standards of design excellence and consistency.
As a self-starter, you will thrive in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment, can adapt to shifting priorities, and excel when faced with ambiguity. You&rsquo;ll be a proactive self-starter&mdash;someone who takes initiative, leans forward, and can deliver exceptional work with little direction.
