About Salesforce

We’re Salesforce, the Customer Company, inspiring the future of business with AI+ Data +CRM. Leading with our core values, we help companies across every industry blaze new trails and connect with customers in a whole new way. And, we empower you to be a Trailblazer, too — driving your performance and career growth, charting new paths, and improving the state of the world. If you believe in business as the greatest platform for change and in companies doing well and doing good – you’ve come to the right place.

Salesforce Professional Services focuses on delivering high value and innovative engagements for our most strategic customers, inspiring them to transform on our platform and helping them to articulate clear plans for change. We rely on our team’s expertise to engage with executive-level customers to agree on specific business goals and deliver incredible business outcomes.

Our approach considers people, process, and technology — and a successful engagement includes recommendations to the business to support deeper, more relevant use of the Salesforce platform.

Role Description

We are currently seeking a dynamic, motivated and collaborative sales executive to join a team of Professional Services Account Partners (APs) operating in the rapidly growing Public Sector territory within the UK&I region.

Our mission is to empower public sector organisations to deliver exceptional services, drive operational excellence and build stronger connections within their communities.

The AP is a consultative sales professional with responsibility for selling the full portfolio of Salesforce advisory and implementation offerings to help new and existing customers leverage the full potential of our technology.

Account Partners must be strategic problem solvers with strong commercial skills and have the ability to craft visions and services propositions that drive customer value through clearly defined outcomes.

They will be expected to understand and lead our customers, enabling them to successfully transform using the Salesforce platform, working alongside colleagues in license sales and Customer Success.

Do you want to help public sector organisations to create positive, lasting impacts on the lives of the people they serve ? Would you like to work at the forefront of Digital Innovation at one of the most exciting technology companies ?

Your Impact

The AP is committed to earning the right to be an advisor to the customer, with the primary goal of helping customers quickly generate significant value from their Salesforce investment.

The primary measurement of success for this role will be annual services bookings (aka closed business) and bid margin aligned with agreed goals, targets and quotas.
