This senior Deployment Strategist role at Salesforce strongly satisfies higher-order needs (esteem and impact) and provides explicit, competitive compensation signals and high company stability. The posting is weaker on concrete benefits and operational details around remote work and travel cadence, which are important for lower-level security and physiological completeness. Overall, the role appears high-quality for candidates seeking strategic, high-visibility work, but interviewers should clarify benefits, travel logistics, team structure, and development pathways before accepting an offer.

- •Remote/onsite expectations are vague: 'Hybrid/Remote/On-site – Multiple locations' without clarity on required time in office or customer-site expectations.
- •Travel expectation of 25–50% is significant and may materially affect work‑life balance; the posting does not specify the typical travel pattern (frequency, trip length).
- •Clear, competitive salary ranges by state (explicit compensation provided).
