Security Practices Director
California, USA · Virginia, USA · Texas, USA · Washington, USA · New Jersey, USA · New York, USA · Arizona, USA · Remote
We are looking for a seasoned Security Practices Director to join our Professional Services team, focused on delivering security and compliance engagements that help customers maximize the value of their Salesforce investments — safely and at scale. This role requires deep, hands-on knowledge of the Salesforce Platform in addition to security expertise: you'll guide customers through security assessments, control frameworks, and implementation best practices across Salesforce, including Agentforce, Data Cloud, and core platform architecture.
What You'll Do
- Lead and deliver end-to-end security engagements for enterprise customers, helping them design and operationalize secure Salesforce Platform environments
- Advise customers on security controls, governance frameworks, and compliance posture specifically within the context of Salesforce architecture (org structure, sharing model, permission sets, Shield, Data Cloud, Agentforce)
- Partner with account teams and sales leadership to drive pre-sales efforts — including discovery conversations, solution scoping, and executive presentations grounded in platform-specific security capabilities
- Act as a trusted advisor to C-suite and senior security stakeholders (CISO, CTO, VP of IT Security), translating Salesforce platform mechanics into risk and compliance terms
- Develop and refine practice delivery methodologies, accelerators, and reusable assets related to Salesforce security, leveraging deep platform fluency
- Support the growth of the security practice by contributing to thought leadership, go-to-market strategies, and team mentoring on Salesforce security best practices
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, and Trust teams to stay current on the Salesforce security and platform roadmap
What We're Looking For
- Strong, hands-on Salesforce Platform expertise — deep familiarity with org architecture, data model, sharing and security model, permission sets, Shield, and declarative/programmatic customization (Flows, Apex)
- 7–12+ years of professional experience, including a meaningful tenure at a Big 4 consulting firm (Deloitte, PwC, EY, KPMG) or equivalent Salesforce-focused professional services practice
- Understanding of security fundamentals and controls frameworks (e.g., NIST CSF, ISO 27001, SOC 2, CIS Controls) as applied specifically to the Salesforce platform
- Demonstrated ability to lead client-facing Salesforce platform assessment and implementation engagements and navigate complex stakeholder environments
- Strong pre-sales and business development instincts — comfortable presenting to customers, shaping solutions, and closing statements of work
- Experience delivering security assessments, identity & access management reviews, data classification, or compliance readiness engagements on Salesforce
- Salesforce certifications strongly preferred (e.g., Certified Administrator, Platform App Builder, Security Specialist, Data Cloud Consultant)
- Excellent executive communication and executive presence
Nice to Have
- Familiarity with Agentforce, Shield and Security Center
- Experience with zero-trust architectures or cloud security posture management (CSPM) in SaaS environments
- Additional Salesforce architect-level certifications (e.g., Application Architect, System Architect)
Why This Role
You'll be at the intersection of two of the most important trends in enterprise technology — AI-driven automation and security governance — with deep Salesforce Platform fluency as the common thread. You'll work with some of the world's largest organizations, helping them adopt Salesforce confidently and securely, while building out a practice with real strategic impact.
