The Salesforce Platform Manager is a senior platform leadership role responsible for the long-term health, strategic direction, commercial stewardship, compliance posture, and operational governance of Emerson's enterprise Salesforce platform. This role owns the coordinated platform roadmap across Business Groups and Enterprise Areas, ensuring Salesforce capabilities are aligned to Emerson's commercial, service, channel, data, and digital transformation priorities.
Beyond day-to-day platform ownership, this role manages Salesforce licenses, entitlements, vendor relationships, release intake, platform health metrics, technical debt visibility, and enterprise-wide governance alignment. The Platform Owner partners with Enterprise Architecture, Security, Data, Business Group leaders, implementation partners, and the Salesforce Center of Excellence to balance standardization, scalability, risk management, and business agility.
You combine strategic platform ownership with hands-on operational discipline (Strategic Mindset; Drives Results). You can make sense of competing Business Group requirements, vendor inputs, compliance obligations, and technical constraints, then convert them into a practical platform roadmap (Manages Complexity; Decision Quality). You communicate platform priorities in business language, build trust with senior stakeholders, and influence teams through credibility rather than title (Communicates Effectively; Collaborates; Interpersonal Savvy). You are disciplined about governance, but pragmatic enough to support business speed when risk is understood and decisions are transparent (Balances Stakeholders; Ensures Accountability).
