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.
The Experience
As the Enterprise Account Executive for our Data Foundation team, you are the spearhead for MuleSoft and Informatica in AGM. This isn’t just a sales role; it’s a mission to build the “central nervous system” for AGM’s most influential enterprises.
You will operate as a proven hunter within a “scale-up” environment, backed by the global power of Salesforce. Your goal: drive net-new logo acquisition and strategic cross-sell, positioning our unified Data Foundation as the bedrock for AI + Data + CRM transformations.
What You’ll Actually Be Doing
- Territory Dominance:Build and execute a sophisticated territory plan for AGM, consistently delivering against high-growth ACV and consumption targets.
- The “Hunter” Mentality: Convert whitespace into active opportunities. You will own the full cycle - from cold-opening Tier-1 accounts through executive networking to orchestrating multi-million-euro closures.
- Salesforce Ecosystem Synergy: Master the “Power of One.” Co-sell with Salesforce Core AEs, aligning Data Foundation (MuleSoft & Informatica) to the broader Salesforce Customer 360 vision.
- Strategic Value Selling: Lead complex, value-based sales cycles. You won’t just sell tools; you will challenge the status quo, lead with insights, and translate technical capabilities into board-level strategic outcomes.
- Orchestration: Act as the “CEO of your territory,” aligning Solution Engineers, Professional Services, and Partners to ensure customer success and deal momentum
- Based in CT and responsibility on Enterprise & commercial customers based there, a mix of Retails and Fintech.
You’re Our Person If…
- The Track Record: at least 4 years of enterprise software sales with a hunter’s DNA. You have a documented history of opening new accounts and overachieving multi-million-euro quotas in growth markets.
- Domain Expertise: Strong grasp of integration/API trends (REST, event-driven, Microservices) and how they fuel AI and digital agendas. Knowledge of MuleSoft/ Informatica or adjacent middleware/data clouds is highly valued.
- Salesforce Savvy: Experience co-selling or competing within the Salesforce ecosystem is a major plus. You understand how Data Foundation underpins AI Cloud and Data Cloud.
