Fin, now part of Salesforce, is on a mission to help businesses provide perfect customer experiences.

Our AI Agent Fin is the highest-performing AI Customer Agent on the market today, enabling businesses to deliver impeccable, always-on customer support across the customer journey, from service, to sales, to ecommerce. Powered by our own AI models, Fin resolves complex customer issues end-to-end across every channel, with minimal set-up and integration. Fin can also be combined with our natively integrated Intercom help desk, giving modern support teams one single system.

Together with Salesforce, the #1 AI CRM, where humans with agents drive customer success, we're building the future of customer experience. Here, ambition meets action. Tech meets trust. And innovation isn't a buzzword, it's a way of life. The world of work as we know it is changing, and we're looking for Trailblazers who are passionate about bettering business and the world through AI.

Ready to level up your career at the company leading workforce transformation in the agentic era? You're in the right place. Agentforce is the future of AI, and you are the future of Salesforce.

What's the opportunity? 

As a SMB Account Executive, you’ll be at the forefront of growth. You’ll own both sides of your territory: winning new logos and growing a portfolio of existing customers to realize the full power of Fin. We’re building a world-class sales organization that is fast, ambitious and driven, and the road ahead is very exciting.

This is a seat at the center of the biggest shift selling has seen in decades. You’ll be selling AI agents to fast-growing businesses rethinking how their entire customer experience works, so the conversations are strategic, technical and interesting. You’ll also use AI every day to run your own territory, from qualification to research to how you run a deal. You won’t just talk about the technology, you’ll work with it.

At Fin, we do sales differently. We don’t just pitch; we partner. We’re asking customers to make Fin the heartbeat of their business. That takes salespeople who can think bigger, move faster and win with integrity. We invest deeply in every seller’s growth, and development is built into how we promote, learn and lead. In a high-velocity environment that rewards ownership, creativity and ambition, you’ll find room to stretch, influence and make your mark.

What will I be doing? 
  • Lead the growth and adoption of Fin across your SMB territory, with both new prospects and existing customers
  • Manage the full new business sales cycle, from prospecting to close, through a highly consultative approach
  • Own and grow a portfolio of existing customers, driving expansion, retention, renewals and long-term loyalty
  • Engage executives and operators to uncover pain points, position AI-driven solutions and tie Fin directly to business impact
  • Build data-backed territory and account plans that target new logos, upsell, cross-sell and multi-business-unit expansion
  • Manage a high volume of deals, including complex six-figure opportunities across new and existing business
  • Articulate Fin’s value and differentiation using Command of the Message and MEDDPICC. If these are new to you, you’ll be trained on them
  • Run your business with discipline through QBRs, territory planning, and weekly and monthly forecasting across new business and renewal pipeline
  • Track and communicate the metrics behind your growth, including retention, adoption and platform expansion
  • Partner with Sales Leaders, Sales Engineers, Customer Success and the wider solutions team to win flagship logos and grow strategic accounts
  • Bring the voice of the customer to R&D, Product and Marketing, turning real customer needs into product innovation and GTM alignment
  • Stay at the cutting edge of AI using the best internal tooling and enablement in the market
  • Raise the bar for the team by mentoring peers and sharing winning plays
What skills do I need? 
  • 2+ years in a quota-carrying closing role selling SaaS or DBaaS, with a track record of meeting and exceeding quota
  • Experience winning new business and managing a book of existing customers through retention, renewals and expansion. Strong experience in one with a clear appetite for the other is also welcome
  • Experience, passion and success in outbound prospecting
  • Proven success navigating procurement, complex renewals and senior decision makers 
  • Experience selling products with technical complexity or thorough implementation
  • AI fluency or a deep interest in AI tooling, with the ability to turn technical capability into customer value
  • Energized by working in a fast-moving, evolving organization across inbound, outbound and existing customer opportunities
Bonus skills and attributes
  • Experience selling AI-powered products
  • Sharp written and verbal communication, adapted to senior stakeholders and technical teams alike
  • A trusted-advisor mindset, building long-term partnerships across multiple levels of complex organizations
  • Demonstrated leadership and influence within your team and across functions
  • A growth mindset, intellectual curiosity and ambition

Policies 

Fin has a hybrid working policy. We believe that working in person helps us stay connected, collaborate easier and create a great culture while still providing flexibility to work from home. We expect employees to be in the office at least three days per week.

We have a radically open and accepting culture at Fin. We avoid spending time on divisive subjects to foster a safe and cohesive work environment for everyone. As an organization, our policy is to not advocate on behalf of the company or our employees on any social or political topics out of our internal or external communications. We respect personal opinion and expression on these topics on personal social platforms on personal time, and do not challenge or confront anyone for their views on non-work related topics. Our goal is to focus on doing incredible work to achieve our goals and unite the company through our core values.  

Salesforce is an equal opportunity employer and maintains a policy of non-discrimination with all employees and applicants for employment. What does that mean exactly? It means that at Salesforce, we believe in equality for all. And we believe we can lead the path to equality in part by creating a workplace that’s inclusive, and free from discrimination. Know your rights: workplace discrimination is illegal. Any employee or potential employee will be assessed on the basis of merit, competence and qualifications – without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender expression or identity, transgender status, age, disability, veteran or marital status, political viewpoint, or other classifications protected by law. This policy applies to current and prospective employees, no matter where they are in their Salesforce employment journey. It also applies to recruiting, hiring, job assignment, compensation, promotion, benefits, training, assessment of job performance, discipline, termination, and everything in between. Recruiting, hiring, and promotion decisions at Salesforce are fair and based on merit. The same goes for compensation, benefits, promotions, transfers, reduction in workforce, recall, training, and education.
