  • Lead business development – from early engagement to deal closure, you’ll define strategies, guide proposals, and coach teams to success.
  • Be the voice of innovation – leverage your Salesforce expertise and understanding of AI/GenAI to help clients stay ahead in a rapidly evolving market.

 

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven leader: 12+ years in consulting or IT services, with a focus on Salesforce solutions in industries like Manufacturing, Hi Tech, CPG, Automotive, Retail, Power & Utilities, Travel & Hospitality, Media, Transportation, or Communications.
  • Salesforce strategist: 8+ years of enterprise sales and business development with multiple Salesforce Clouds (Sales, Marketing, Commerce, Service, Experience, Analytics).
  • Innovator: 2+ years’ experience applying GenAI/AI technologies within Salesforce.
  • Client-centric mindset: a track record of building trusted executive relationships and achieving revenue targets through consultative, value-driven selling.
  • Preferred: Salesforce certification(s) and strong industry expertise.

 

What You Bring

  • A consultative, results-oriented approach to solving complex client challenges.
  • The ability to balance strategy and execution, influencing stakeholders while keeping an eye on delivery.
  • Strong negotiation, problem-solving, and escalation management skills.

Why Join Us?
