Commercial Account Executive, General Business in Sydney

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.

The Experience

Salesforce’s General Business segment represents a critical growth engine within our Australian go‑to‑market strategy. Serving organisations with 500–2,000 employees, this segment operates at the intersection of enterprise‑level complexity and commercial agility. These customers are established, strategically significant organisations with layered decision‑making structures, multi‑cloud opportunity, and transformation agendas that require sophisticated solution design.

What You’ll Actually Be Doing

• Drive new business and expansion across a portfolio of established organisations (500–2,000 employees).
• Represent the full Salesforce Customer 360 platform, connecting multiple clouds to address complex, cross‑functional business challenges.
• Develop thoughtful account strategies that balance immediate revenue opportunities with long‑term customer value.
• Build trusted, multi‑level relationships within customer organisations, including executive stakeholders.
• Identify whitespace opportunities and expand Salesforce’s footprint through strategic cross‑cloud positioning.
• Lead sophisticated, multi‑product sales cycles end‑to‑end — from discovery and qualification through deal strategy, negotiation, forecasting, and close.
• Engage in executive conversations, industry forums, and customer roundtables to shape transformation agendas.
• Continuously build platform fluency across Salesforce’s evolving product suite and the broader enterprise technology landscape.
• Define territory and vertical strategies, identifying priority accounts and executing structured go‑to‑market plans.
• Maintain disciplined pipeline management and forecasting accuracy within a complex, multi‑opportunity environment.
