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.

About the Salesforce Platform
The Salesforce Platform is the world's leading Secure Agentic Platform. We are moving beyond simple assistants to a world of Autonomous Agents that take action. Our platform allows businesses to build, deploy, and scale these agents using a No-Code/Low-Code approach, all while staying anchored in the Salesforce Trust Layer — the gold standard for enterprise security and data resilience.
 
Role Description
As a Cloud Account Executive within the Platform & Security team, you sit at the intersection of Innovation and Protection. Your mission is twofold:
Empower Action: Drive the adoption of Agentforce, enabling customers to build sophisticated AI agents through a seamless, low-code interface where "vision becomes code" — complementing and reinforcing Salesforce C360.
Ensure Resilience: Sell the Security & Governance portfolio (Salesforce Shield, Event Monitoring, Data Mask, Backup & Restore) to ensure these agents operate within a secure, compliant, and indestructible data environment.
You are the architect of "Secure Agility," helping organizations move fast — without breaking things.
Key Responsibilities
  • The Agentic Evangelist: Showcase how Agentforce automates complex business processes using no-code tools, making AI accessible to every business user across the DACH market.
  • The Guardian of Trust: Position Salesforce Shield and Event Monitoring as the essential "armor" for any AI deployment — ensuring data privacy and threat detection are native to the build.
  • Vibecoding Champion: Promote the speed and ease of our low-code/no-code platform, enabling customers to iterate at the speed of thought while maintaining enterprise-grade resilience.
  • Strategic Growth: Partner with Account Owners to drive revenue by identifying "Agentic" use cases that demand the highest levels of data protection and compliance.
  • C-Level Bridge: Engage with CIOs/CISOs on security and resilience — and with COOs/CEOs on ROI through agentic automation.
Essential Requirements
  • Solution Selling Rockstar: Proven experience in SaaS sales, specifically in Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), Cybersecurity, or AI.
  • The "Build" Mindset: Strong interest in the No-Code/Low-Code ecosystem with the ability to translate complex technical architectures into clear business value.
  • Security Savvy: Solid understanding of data protection regulations (GDPR,, etc.) and why resilience — including Backup & Restore — is the backbone of any modern IT strategy. Experience with the German regulatory landscape is a strong plus.
  • Storyteller: Proven ability to present a compelling vision where AI agents and Cybersecurity coexist to drive business transformation.
  • Bilingual: Fluency in German and English is required.
Preferred Requirements
  • Innovation Enthusiast: You follow the "Vibecoding" trend and understand how generative AI is shifting the development paradigm.
  • Salesforce Expert: Familiarity with the Salesforce ecosystem, particularly Agentforce, Shield, and the Data Cloud foundation.
  • DACH Market Knowledge: Understanding of the enterprise technology landscape in German-speaking markets and the unique compliance and security expectations of customers in the region.
