Why Join Us?

The Salesforce Analytics platform is a key innovation driver in the Agentic world, and is as much a philosophy as it is an amazing suite of tools, including Tableau and CRM Analytics. We enable people to transform data into something visual and understandable, empowering them to make important decisions based on those insights. Our products are key in helping organizations with data to see, understand, and act on data. Our core values—trust, customer success, innovation, equality, and sustainability—guide all our actions as a company and as individuals.

• Innovation Management: Act as a bridge between the customer’s current state and their future data-driven goals, recommending practical next steps and long-term IT roadmaps.

• Cross-Functional Orchestration: Lead technical strategy for complex accounts, collaborating with Product and Professional Services teams to ensure a seamless customer journey.

What We Are Looking For (Competencies & Skills)

• Data Storytelling: Exceptional ability to translate technical features into business outcomes through live product demonstrations and executive-level presentations.

• Analytics Foundational Knowledge: A strong understanding of the analytics landscape, including data modeling, relational databases, and modern BI architecture (e.g., Tableau, CRM Analytics, or similar platforms).

• Sales Acumen: Experience in a pre-sales environment or a strong desire to transition into a role where your technical skills directly drive revenue and customer success.

• Agility & Curiosity: A "challenger" mindset with the ability to quickly learn and master new technologies within the evolving Salesforce and Tableau ecosystems.
