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.

Through our #1 CRM, Customer 360, we help companies blaze new trails and connect with their customers in a whole new way. And, we empower you to be a Trailblazer, too — driving your performance and growth, charting new paths, and improving the state of the world.

• Stay sharp on competitive dynamics, market trends, and product evolution.
• Define new approaches and playbooks that raise the bar for productivity and results.

• 8+ years of quota-carrying Account Executive experience, ideally in complex enterprise software or SaaS.
• Consistent overachievement of revenue goals — you don't just hit quota, you exceed it.
• Proven track record of building satisfied, loyal, and referenceable customers.
• A natural relationship-builder with experience influencing at the C-level.
• Strong pipeline generation discipline — you know how to create and convert opportunity.
• Operationally sharp: you use data and process to drive decisions, not gut alone.
• Thrives in a matrixed environment and knows how to orchestrate a team to win.
• Entrepreneurial spirit with the energy and courage to design your own path.

 What's in it for you...
 

• A clear career path into senior individual contributor and leadership roles.
• World-class training & development across product knowledge and professional growth.
• The chance to work alongside some of the best enterprise sales professionals in the industry.
• Freedom to design your go-to-market strategy and own your business like a true founder.
