  • Strategic Roadmap Creation: Build and articulate clear customer journey strategies and IT roadmaps, demonstrating how Salesforce's AI-powered platform delivers measurable business value and ROI.

  • Cross-Industry Consulting: Apply your understanding of Financial Services and Public Sector challenges to position Salesforce as the best solution for AI-driven transformation in areas like customer service, risk management, and field operations.

  • Sales Cycle Support: Work closely with the Account Executives to support the sales process by developing strong business cases, responding to customer requests, and building impactful demo environments that feature AI solutions.

  • Thought Leadership: Guide large enterprises on CRM and Agentic Workforce Transformation, becoming a trusted advisor who helps them adopt AI and unlock new levels of customer success using the Salesforce ecosystem.

  • Collaboration: Partner with client Business and IT teams to identify challenges and build creative, out-of-the-box solutions on the platform.

  • Territorial Engagement: Travel as required for high-impact client meetings and workshops.

We are seeking individuals who understand the why behind the technology, focus on the business outcome and are able to translate this into convincing messaging for our clients.

Required Experience

  • Experience: 5+ years of experience in a customer-facing role like Pre-Sales Consultant, Solution Engineer, or Customer Success, ideally supporting large enterprise accounts.

  • Industry Focus: Proven experience or familiarity within Financial Services (Banking, Insurance, Fintechs, Wealth/Asset Management, or Commodity Trading) AND/OR the Public Sector, specifically with Transportation or Utility companies.

  • Business Acumen: Strong ability to connect customer needs to solutions, develop compelling customer journey maps, and justify the ROI for business-focused investments.
