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.

Overview of the Role:
As an Account Executive on our Small, Medium and Growth Business (SMB) team, you will sell the entire Salesforce Customer 360 platform — or a specialized cloud solution — to a mix of existing customers and new logos. You will build trusted relationships with C-Suite decision makers, uncover business challenges, and match them to Salesforce solutions that drive measurable return on investment. With Agentforce woven into every layer of our platform, you will help customers understand how AI-powered agents can automate the repetitive, elevate the strategic, and accelerate their business outcomes.
You may be aligned to one or more verticals including Financial Services, Healthcare and Life Sciences, Manufacturing, Retail and Consumer Goods, Communications Media and Technology, or Consumer Business Services. Some roles focus on the full Salesforce platform while others specialize in a specific cloud or product, such as Agentforce, Data Cloud, or Service Cloud.
Responsibilities:
  • Develop a deep understanding of how businesses operate and the priorities that drive C-Suite decisions, using that knowledge to build credibility and influence buying decisions.
  • Create demand by uncovering business problems, mapping solutions across multiple lines of business, and selling on value and return on investment.
  • Generate and manage pipeline through both existing account growth and new logo prospecting, driving toward quota attainment.
  • Build and deliver compelling presentations and business cases tailored to customer needs and business objectives.
Required Qualifications:
  • 2–5 years of full-cycle sales experience, including at least 1 year in a field sales role with a proven track record of success.
  • Experience selling to C-Suite stakeholders and navigating complex buying decisions.
  • Demonstrated ability to build a business case and articulate return on investment to customers.
Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience managing and growing existing accounts as well as acquiring net new logo accounts.
  • Ability to strategize and collaborate effectively with a large extended internal team.
  • Experience will be evaluated based on core competencies for the role (e.g., extracurricular leadership, military experience, volunteer experience, work experience).

Unleash Your Potential

When you join Salesforce, you’ll be limitless in all areas of your life. Our benefits and resources support you to find balance and be your best, and our AI agents accelerate your impact so you can do your best. Together, we’ll bring the power of Agentforce to organizations of all sizes and deliver amazing experiences that customers love. Apply today to not only shape the future — but to redefine what’s possible — for yourself, for AI, and the world.

Posting Statement

Salesforce is an equal opportunity employer and maintains a policy of non-discrimination with all employees and applicants for employment. What does that mean exactly? It means that at Salesforce, we believe in equality for all. And we believe we can lead the path to equality in part by creating a workplace that’s inclusive, and free from discrimination.

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.

In the United States, compensation offered will be determined by factors such as location, job level, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. Certain roles may be eligible for incentive compensation, equity, and benefits. Salesforce offers a variety of benefits to help you live well including: time off programs, medical, dental, vision, mental health support, paid parental leave, life and disability insurance, 401(k), and an employee stock purchasing program.
