About Salesforce

Salesforce is the #1 AI CRM, where humans with agents drive customer success together. 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, driving innovation, and keeping Salesforce's core values at the heart of it all.

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.

Role Summary

Our Enterprise Business team focuses on driving strategic, platform-level transformation with our most complex customers—organizations with 10,000+ employees. In an era of AI-driven transformation, the gap between 'business value' and 'technical feasibility' is closing. We are looking for individuals who can bridge that gap in the first meeting, not the fifth.
We are seeking Technically Fluent Account Executive's to operate as a true technology advisor. This role is crucial for building immediate credibility and trust with today’s Technical Buyer. You will have the core responsibilities of an AE (developing account strategy, driving revenue, and managing executive relationships) with the deep technical acumen. This role is designed for the technical expert who wants the autonomy and upside of a full sales cycle owner without abandoning their architectural roots.
You will be empowered to articulate the architectural vision and competitive differentiation of the entire Salesforce Customer 360 platform, driving sales cycles with less reliance on pre-sales resources for early-stage and foundational technical conversations. This role is key to advancing our AI-first vision and requires a strong interest in, and ability to explain, emerging technologies. This role is ideal for individuals with a strong background in solution architecture, technical consulting, or sales engineering who are ready to own the full sales cycle.

2. Value-Based Selling & Platform Proficiency:

• Utilize a consultative, challenger approach to diagnose business challenges, articulate the technical "how," and focus on driving value realization through our technology.

3. Strategic Account & Sales Execution:

• Develop and drive the overall long-term strategy for a defined account or territory, focusing on platform adoption and alignment to complex customer business objectives.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Proven ability to excel at discovery and communicate complex concepts simply, creating stronger trust and more impactful sales outcomes.

• Proven ability to explain complex technical models and architectural blueprints to both non-technical business executives and technical stakeholders.
