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.

Wenn du deine Karriere in der deutschen Versorgungswirtschaft verbracht hast – bei Stadtwerken, Verteilnetzbetreibern (VNB), Energieversorgern – kennst du die aktuellen und kommenden Herausforderungen bereits: Netzausbau und -modernisierung skalieren, die Energiewende Realität werden lassen, NIS2/KRITIS, EEG und regulatorische Veränderungen effizient umsetzen, Digitalisierungsvorgaben die interne Kapazitäten oft übersteigen.
Diese Rolle multipliziert deine Kreativität und dein Wissen – du verwandelst deine Erfahrung in der Branche in echte Transformationsmöglichkeiten bei Unternehmen, die die Customer-360-Plattform von Salesforce noch nicht für sich genutzt haben. Wir suchen keinen klassischen "Hunter". Wir suchen jemanden, dem die deutsche Versorgungswirtschaft als echtem Partner vertraut, der ihre Ziele vorantreibt.
Die Rolle
Als Enterprise Account Executive, New Business, verantwortest du die Neukundengewinnung in der deutschen Versorgungswirtschaft – du baust Beziehungen zu Entscheidern auf C-Level bei Stadtwerken, Verteilnetzbetreibern und Energieversorgern auf, die sich mit Netzausbau und -modernisierung, Sektorkopplung und veränderten Kundenerwartungen auseinandersetzen. Du wirst dabei in jeder Phase von den Presales-, Partner- und Enablement-Teams von Salesforce unterstützt.
Deine Aufgaben

  • Baue deine eigene Neukunden-Pipeline auf – über dein bestehendes Branchennetzwerk, Partnerbeziehungen und gezielte Ansprache. Deine Reputation in der Branche verschafft dir Gehör, wo reine Kaltakquise nie hinkommen würde.

  • Übersetze operativen Druck in Business Cases. Netzausbau/-modernisierung, Sektorkopplung, Digitalisierungsvorgaben – du machst daraus ein klares, ROI-orientiertes Argument, warum Customer 360 jetzt die richtige Plattform ist.

  • Verantworte Deals von Anfang bis Ende – vom Erstkontakt bis zum Vertragsabschluss – und orchestriere dabei das Account-Team von Salesforce (Solution Engineers, Partner, Führungskräfte), um in jeder Phase die stärkste Position aufzubauen.

  • Vertritt die deutsche Stadtwerke-Branche intern und präge, wie Salesforce die Branche unterstützen kann.

Was du mitbringen solltest
 

Am wichtigsten

  • Echte Reputation in der deutschen Versorgungswirtschaft – als Praktiker, Berater oder Lieferant, die dir auf Vertrauen basierende Gespräche mit Entscheidern ermöglichen.

  • Fundiertes Wissen darüber, was Versorgungsunternehmen aktuell tatsächlich bewegt: Netzausbau und -modernisierung, Sektorkopplung, Digitalisierungsvorgaben, EEG und regulatorische Veränderungen.

  • Sicherheit auf Führungsebene: Du behauptest dich im Gespräch mit der Geschäftsführung, durchdringst komplexe Organisationsstrukturen und erkennst, wer tatsächlich über Budget und Mandat verfügt.

  • Verhandlungssicheres Deutsch und Englisch – für Gespräche auf Führungsebene, Discovery Calls und schriftliche Kommunikation im Executive-Umfeld.

Erlernbar, keine Voraussetzung:
 

  • Formale Erfahrung im quoten-basierten Enterprise-Vertrieb ist von Vorteil, aber keine Voraussetzung. Wir investieren in strukturiertes Onboarding, Vertriebsmethodik-Trainings und Mentoring durch erfahrene Account Executives während der Einarbeitung.

  • Was wir nicht vermitteln können, ist das Vertrauen, das du dir in der Branche bereits erarbeitet hast. Was wir vermitteln können, ist, wie man einen formalen Enterprise-Vertriebsprozess führt.
