You're in the right place! Agentforce is the future of AI, and you are the future of Salesforce.Role Purpose & Ecosystem ContextAs an elite, high-touch commercial overlay and marketplace specialist driving the transactional evolution of the Salesforce ISV ecosystem, the Principal Marketplace Business Development Manager sits at the direct intersection of Revenue, Strategy, and Partner Operations. This role is responsible for marketplace GMV velocity, owning the adoption of evolved marketplace functionality to deliver meaningful incremental ACV growth and accelerating overall GTM automation and transformation.Convincing established enterprise partners to commit their core products, services and revenue streams to a nascent marketplace is an exceptionally difficult, deeply sophisticated sales pitch. This role is not a traditional partner management function; it is a senior, strategic co-selling position.Furthermore, as the GTM App evolves, this individual will architect a brand-new commercial capability for Salesforce: building the end-to-end framework that allows partners to list and transact their entire solutions-comprising both software products and attached professional/managed services-directly with customers.

Partner Revenue Transformation & Advisory * C-Suite Business Advisory: Act as a trusted strategic consultant to partner C-suites (CEOs, CFOs, CROs), guiding them through the intense revenue model, billing infrastructure, and internal sales compensation transformations required to successfully shift to a marketplace-first business model. * Change Management Execution: Treat the roll-out of the GTM App as a profound change management program rather than a simple feature launch, directly addressing partner friction regarding margin preservation and field sales alignment.3. Feedback Loops & AI-First Operational Governance * Structured Product Advocacy: Act as the strategic feedback loop between strategic partners and the Product organization. Collect and prioritize input on missing features (especially regarding services monetization), building data-driven business cases that separate true roadmap priorities from one-off requests. * AI-First Infrastructure: Own the pipeline tracking, KPIs, reporting, and roadmap reviews for this motion.
