We’re looking for Trailblazers who are passionate about bettering business through AI and keeping our core values at the heart of it all.

Overview of the Role The Sales Strategy team at Salesforce UKI is a high-performance group of trusted advisors embedded with senior leaders to drive strategic clarity and sustainable growth. In this role, you will sit at the intersection of strategy and execution, connecting dots across Sales, Finance, Marketing, and Operations.

  • Rhythm of Business: Drive forecast management excellence to ensure sustained, predictable growth; coordinate weekly forecast calls and rigorously inspect pipeline health

  • Business Analytics: Provide the analytical bedrock for leadership decisions by building dashboards and reports that track key performance metrics and running ad-hoc analyses to diagnose business health.

  • Cross-Functional Execution: Navigate organisational complexity to drive execution of long-term transformational initiatives.

Required Qualifications

  • Proven Experience: strong experience in management consulting, sales strategy, or business operations within a SaaS or high-growth environment.

  • Analytical Rigour: Strong quantitative analysis and financial modelling skills, with advanced proficiency in Excel or Google Sheets.

  • Strategic Problem Solving: Ability to structure complex problems, diagnose root causes, and deliver data-driven recommendations to senior audiences.

  • Communication: Excellent storytelling skills, able to distill complex information into clear narratives for executive stakeholders.

  • Self-Leadership: Self-motivated with a highly collaborative style and strong influencing skills; comfortable operating with autonomy in a rapidly changing environment

Preferred Qualifications

  • Platform Expertise: Salesforce (CRM) experience and proficiency with data visualisation tools like Tableau or CRM Analytics.

  • Technical Skills: Experience with SQL (or equivalent database querying language) is a plus.
