Salesforce is seeking a Principal UX Conversation Designer to define the systems, standards, and strategic direction for AI agents across the platform. In this pivotal role, you will lead cross-functional strategy for agent quality, establishing the logic, guardrails, and frameworks that unify AI-driven customer experiences.
What You'll Do
- Guide cross-cloud teams in defining agent behavior, communication, and recovery across long tasks and multi-surface experiences.
- Set standards that unify flows, context models, handoffs, and guardrails across product lines.
- Define the conversational structures, escalation paths, and fallback models used company-wide.
- Shape the intent, topic, and recovery systems that support complex enterprise workflows.
- Develop prompt frameworks and instruction patterns used across clouds.
- Decide when prompts stay in natural language and when they move into deterministic rules, configs, or orchestration layers.
- Partner with engineering and product leadership to establish a compiler-like foundation for agent behavior.
- Translate high-risk scenarios into enforceable logic that protects safety, compliance, and brand trust.
- Create tone, persona, and behavior guidelines adopted by multiple teams.
- Ensure agents behave consistently, even when built by different groups with different constraints.
- Build enterprise-ready libraries of prompts, behaviors, and templates.
- Document reusable structures that scale across verticals, roles, and agent actions.
- Partner with data science, observability, and engineering to connect heuristics to measurable signals.
- Use performance data to refine flows, strengthen system behavior, and drive org-level improvements.
- Work with VP-level leaders across Clouds, Trust, Data, and Platform to guide the roadmap for agent quality and governance.
- Shape cross-cloud strategies that influence investment decisions and organizational planning.
- Lead alignment across engineering, product management, trust, AI research, and design leaders.
- Drive clarity on roles, boundaries, and implementation approaches for agentic experiences.
What We're Looking For
- Deep experience designing conversational systems, generative interactions, or multi-turn AI agents across complex environments.
- Expert writing and linguistic skill with the ability to scale tone, safety, and clarity across many products.
- Strong understanding of intent systems, context management, orchestration, and RAG-based interactions.
- Ability to influence cross-cloud leaders and drive org-level alignment.
- Strength in systems thinking, governance design, and scalable patterns.
- Experience in regulated, safety-critical, or multi-agent ecosystems.
Benefits & Compensation
- Competitive salary range: $211,500 - $306,600 annually.
- Medical, dental, and vision coverage.
- Mental health support programs.
- Paid parental leave.
- Life and disability insurance.
