About MuleSoft, a Salesforce Company 
MuleSoft is the world’s #1 integration and API platform. We make it easy to connect data from any system—no matter where it resides—to create connected experiences, faster. For the Public Sector, this means enabling governments to unlock data, modernize legacy infrastructure, and deliver seamless digital services to citizens. We are "productising" integration, enabling the Italian Public Administration to achieve the goals of the PNRR (National Recovery and Resilience Plan) and drive digital transformation at scale.

Role Description 
We are seeking a strategic and high-performing Account Executive to lead our growth within the Italian Central Government (Pubblica Amministrazione Centrale).

  • Orchestration: Lead the end-to-end sales process by orchestrating a cross-functional team, including Solution Engineers, Customer Success, Professional Services, and Legal.
  • Partner Ecosystem: Collaborate closely with Global System Integrators (GSIs) and local partners to leverage framework agreements (e.g. CONSIP) and drive adoption.
  • Evangelism: promote the MuleSoft/Salesforce vision through product demonstrations, participation in GovTech events, and account-specific workshops.
  • Forecasting: Maintain operational excellence with accurate monthly forecasting and pipeline management within Salesforce.
Required Skills & Experience

  • Experience: 5-10 years of technology sales experience, preferably in Software/SaaS or Middleware/Integration.
  • Public Sector Expertise: Proven track record of selling to the Italian Public Sector, specifically Central Government. Deep understanding of public procurement processes (Code of Public Contracts, CONSIP, MePA) and the current digital agenda (PNRR, Cloud First Strategy).
  • Sales Acumen: Successful history of net new business sales and consistent overachievement of quota.
  • Communication: Excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts to business leaders.
  • Language: Native/Fluent Italian and business-level proficiency in English.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Ability to develop cases and service requirements, while crafting and leading strategic alliances.

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.
