• Executive Presence: Present findings to senior leadership and provide real-time deal support for high-priority global sales opportunities.

• Domain Knowledge (Preferred): Familiarity with e-commerce, Digital Experience Platforms (DXP), or retail technology is helpful but not required.
• Strategic Capability: Strong analytical skills with the ability to turn market signals into clear, persuasive sales messaging.
• Communication: Exceptional writing and presentation skills; ability to simplify technical concepts for a sales audience.
• Global Mindset: Experience working in a global environment and navigating different regional business cultures.

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.
