You’ll be part of a high-energy, high-earnings team where customers are actively investing in AI, data and digital transformation. Your commercial instincts, ability to uncover whitespace and hunter mentality will directly shape your success.

Responsibilities

• Own a defined area of a strategic named account, identifying whitespace and driving net-new and expansion revenue across the customer.
• Partner closely with the lead Account Executive to develop and execute a joint account strategy, while independently owning your opportunities and pipeline.
• Build and manage pipeline by proactively identifying new stakeholders, opening new relationships and uncovering business challenges across different functions and business units.
• Develop compelling, value-based business cases that connect Salesforce’s AI, data and platform capabilities to the customer’s strategic and commercial priorities.
• Build trusted relationships with senior and C-suite stakeholders, multi-threading across complex enterprise organisations to create and progress opportunities.

• Take ownership and accountability for your pipeline, forecast and revenue performance while operating as an integral part of the wider account team.

Required Qualifications

• Enterprise or growth business (GB) sales experience, with a strong track record of achieving and exceeding quota in complex B2B environments.
• Demonstrated hunter mentality and ability to identify and create new opportunities within existing strategic accounts.
• Proven ability to prospect independently, build relationships with new stakeholders and create pipeline without relying solely on inbound or existing relationships.
• Strong value-selling and consultative sales skills, with the ability to build compelling business cases tied to customer outcomes.
• Experience navigating complex organisations and engaging multiple stakeholders, including senior and C-suite decision-makers.
• Strong collaboration skills and the ability to operate effectively as part of a broader account team.
• Evidence of resilience, adaptability and the ability to learn from setbacks.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience selling into the telecommunications, media or technology industry.
• Experience working within a strategic or named-account sales model.
