You will be in charge of developing and growing Enterprise business customers. Account Executives plan and engage with prospects, customers and new leads to sell the entire Tableau platform. They build positive, trusted relationships with both key team members and c-suite decision makers within their patch, and become naturals at helping customers realize value from their Salesforce investments, particularly on the analytics.

• Develop key customer stakeholder relationships and drive customer satisfaction
• Assist with the development and execution of overall long-term strategy for the account, aligned to customer business objectives
• Coordinate internal resources including product support, customer success, and sales engineering to meet customer business needs
• Assist with account planning at assigned accounts, coordinating with other sales resources (Salesforce Core AE's, Prime AE's, Cloud AE's, etc.) to ensure strategic alignment
• Manage sophisticated sales-cycles and present to C-level executives the value proposition of Tableau platform
• Define and complete territory / account sales plans for assigned territory and then meet and exceed sales goals (quotas) through prospecting, qualifying, managing and closing sales opportunities.

Posting Statement

Salesforce is an equal opportunity employer and maintains a policy of non-discrimination with all employees and applicants for employment. What does that mean exactly? It means that at Salesforce, we believe in equality for all. And we believe we can lead the path to equality in part by creating a workplace that's inclusive, and free from discrimination. Know your rights: workplace discrimination is illegal. Any employee or potential employee will be assessed on the basis of merit, competence and qualifications - without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender expression or identity, transgender status, age, disability, veteran or marital status, political viewpoint, or other classifications protected by law. This policy applies to current and prospective employees, no matter where they are in their Salesforce employment journey. It also applies to recruiting, hiring, job assignment, compensation, promotion, benefits, training, assessment of job performance, discipline, termination, and everything in between. Recruiting, hiring, and promotion decisions at Salesforce are fair and based on merit. The same goes for compensation, benefits, promotions, transfers, reduction in workforce, recall, training, and education.
