The Experience

Salesforce is seeking elite sales talent to join our high-performing Commercial Sales team. This is an opportunity for accomplished Account Executives who thrive in complex environments, operate with a "CEO of your territory" mindset, and want to partner with customers on meaningful, long-term business transformation.

As a Commercial Account Executive at Salesforce, you will own, progress, and close opportunities across the full Salesforce Customer 360 platform. You will work across a broad and diverse customer base, engaging organisations of varying size, maturity, and complexity across multiple industries.

You will work with customers' complex business challenges, navigating multi-product environments where solutions must be tailored, integrated, and aligned to broader organisational strategy. Success in this role requires comfort selling sophisticated, interconnected products and the ability to continuously learn and articulate the value of evolving technology across different industry contexts.

As a trusted advisor, you will build relationships across the C-suite, influence senior stakeholders, and lead complex, multi-threaded sales cycles from first conversation through to contract signature. You will be accountable for generating and converting high-quality pipeline, while partnering closely with other Salesforce teams to drive customer success and long-term growth across your portfolio.
