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.

What You'll Be Doing & Why It Matters

Tableau Software, a Salesforce company, is the market leader in the BI and Data Analytics field, recognised as the number one platform for nine consecutive years in the Gartner Magic Quadrant. We have been on an incredible journey — and we are only just beginning! We are on a mission to help our customers see and understand their data, and have been helping companies across the globe to do just that.

The beauty of Tableau is that it can be used by anyone and can benefit everyone — whether that is helping organisations to improve business efficiency, identify new revenue opportunities, or drive meaningful change across their industry. We hire based on our values: trust, respect, partnership, integrity, simplicity, and delighting our customers. We are proud to be part of the Salesforce team.

As we continue to grow, we're looking for dedicated Enterprise Account Executives to join our UKI Sales team selling Tableau solutions into our larger Enterprise level accounts. These accounts are at different stages of their digital transformation journey which offers a fantastic opportunity to make an impact in this space.

Ideally, you will have extensive enterprise software sales experience, selling SAAS/software solutions across large organisations within the industry. You're used to selling into C-level customers across multiple business areas. You have an entrepreneurial spirit, are customer oriented, a progressive, and highly collaborative solution sales professional. The beauty of Tableau is we don't sell into IT – every business area can use our platform.

This role offers you the opportunity to lead your account set and drive your GTM strategy and vision. You'll be a trailblazer, enabling your customers to access and interpret their data, and will be front and centre in helping our clients to transform their businesses for the better.

• Managing your sales cycle effectively for longer, more complex engagements in Enterprise
• Partnering with a virtual internal team to build strategic plans tailored to each account, bringing in the right people at the right time
• Collaborating with your Salesforce counterparts to identify and close joint solution sales opportunities across your portfolio

• Experience: A proven track record of quota-carrying sales experience, successfully selling software or SaaS solutions across organisations of varying size and complexity.

• Curiosity: You are inquisitive and always looking to learn and discover what your customers need; you keep track of market trends and are committed to continuously developing your own skills
• Stakeholder confidence: You are able to build trust with any stakeholder, from end users and department heads to C-level executives, adapting your style to suit the audience and the deal
• Results-driven: You are consistently motivated to meet and exceed your targets, as reflected in your track record of quota attainment across both new and existing business
• Sales excellence: You have highly developed prospecting, planning, and closing skills — whether managing a high volume of deals or a focused set of strategic accounts
• Initiative: You take initiative and are proactive in identifying and pursuing new opportunities, bringing energy and focus to both your pipeline and your customer relationships
• Communication: Networking and relationship building come naturally to you. You know what to say, and when to say it
• Collaboration: You understand the importance of winning as a team. Partnering with internal and external resources is crucial, and you know how to engage and empower colleagues and partners to maximise success
• Attention to detail: Data integrity and accurate forecasting are important to us, and you hold yourself to account
