Organisational Structure
Salesforce uses a cloud-based organisational model that mirrors its product architecture. Teams are organised around product clouds (Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Marketing Cloud, Platform, Data Cloud) with shared engineering, sales, and customer success functions. The acquisition of Slack, MuleSoft, and Tableau created integration challenges as each brought its own org culture and structure.
Senior Leadership Roles
These are the senior executive positions that form the top of the Salesforce org chart. For executive search firms mapping this organisation, these roles represent the primary reporting line to the board.
Business Divisions
Salesforce is organised into 9major divisions. Each division represents a distinct business area with its own leadership, strategy, and — in many cases — its own P&L.

Why Salesforce's Org Chart Is Complex
For executive search firms and consultants mapping Salesforce, understanding these structural complexities is essential for building an accurate org chart and identifying the right stakeholders.
Multiple acquisitions (Slack, Tableau, MuleSoft) each retained distinct cultures and partial autonomy
Cloud-based product org creates overlapping customer segments and go-to-market teams
AI pivot (Einstein, Agentforce) requires cross-cloud coordination
Large partner ecosystem means the org extends well beyond direct employees
How to Map Salesforce's Org Chart
Building a complete org chart for Salesforce requires combining data from multiple sources: annual reports and proxy statements for the top-level structure, LinkedIn for middle-management layers, and industry knowledge to fill in the gaps.
Because Salesforce uses a matrix structure, your org chart will need to show both solid-line and dotted-line reporting relationships. This means a simple hierarchical tree will not capture the full picture.
With OrgBrief, you can upload a CSV of known employees, map the available fields, review inferred reporting lines and export a structured chart. Confidence indicators show where the source needs a human check.
Turn your Salesforce research into a client chart
Upload the data you are authorised to use. OrgBrief maps the fields, infers the hierarchy, scores confidence and prepares the chart for review and export.
