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.

Ready to level-up your career at the company leading workforce transformation in the agentic era? You're in the right place! Agentforce is the future of AI, and you are the future of Salesforce.

• Platform Value Proposition & Storytelling: Articulate and evangelize the platform's unique value proposition to prospective and existing ISV partners, crafting compelling narratives that highlight benefits such as accelerated speed-to-market, predictable and lower operational costs, faster application development, and the ability to shift focus from infrastructure maintenance to core innovation.
• Bespoke Solution Design & Demonstration: Develop and deliver highly customized, technically engaging demonstrations and proof-of-concept scenarios that showcase how the platform can specifically address an ISV partner's strategic goals and enhance their product offerings.
• AI-Accelerated Build & Prototype: Use AI-assisted tools (Cursor, Claude, Gemini, Agentforce, or equivalent) to rapidly scaffold demos and vision prototypes turning a discovery conversation into a clickable, working 0 → 1 prototype that makes the partner's vision tangible for their executive team.

Leverage this curiosity to uncover unspoken partner needs, identify novel applications of the platform, and discover innovative solutions that drive mutual success.

This includes strong presentation skills, comfortably delivering engaging product demonstrations and technical pitches to both technical and business stakeholders.
• Discovery & Solution Scoping: Exhibit excellent active listening and questioning skills to uncover partner needs, pain points, and strategic objectives. This enables helping partners define initial application scope and value propositions on the platform effectively.
• AI-First Builder Mentality: You don't just consume AI, you build with it. Demonstrated history of shipping tools, automations, agents, or prototypes using AI or low-code platforms (e.g., Cursor, Lovable, Claude, Slackbot skills, custom demo orgs); comfortable embracing ambiguity and building the plane while flying it.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Show a demonstrated ability to work effectively with internal teams, such as Partner Account Managers, Product, and Engineering, to align on partner solutions and advocate for partner needs.
