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.
At Salesforce, we believe that AI requires a trusted context. Join our Data Foundation Pre-Sales team as a trusted advisor helping clients envision the transformation of their businesses through Data Governance, Data Catalog and wider platform offerings coming from Informatica and MuleSoft and focussing on Data and AI within Salesforce.
You’ll work alongside Account Executives and C-level leaders, connecting deep technical capabilities with high-impact business outcomes in the age of agentic AI.
Why Join Us?
- Supportive Culture: Be part of an inclusive, highly collaborative pre-sales team with dedicated mentorship focused on your long-term career growth.
- Impactful Work: Work at the forefront of AI and data innovation, directly helping enterprises solve complex compliance, governance, and architecture challenges.
- Core Values: Work for a company that leads with Trust, Customer Success, and Equality.
What Your First Year Looks Like
Instead of measuring success by arbitrary years on a resume, we evaluate candidates on impact. Here is how your role evolves:
- In Your First 30–60 Days: You'll complete onboarding, pair with senior teammates on customer opportunities, get certified on core Data Foundation products.
- By Day 90: You’ll start to lead technical discovery, present customer demos, and own the technical sales process for the opportunities.
- Beyond: You’ll lead high-level architectural workshops with C-suite executives, architect tailored Proofs of Concept (PoCs), handle RFIs/RFPs, support public events and mentor incoming team members on best practices.
What You Bring:
- Pre-Sales & Stakeholder Management: Demonstrated experience in enterprise technical sales, consulting, or solution engineering, with a proven ability to build relationships with decision-makers, CxOs, and technical influencers.
- Data Governance Domain Expertise: Hands-on experience working with data governance, data catalog, data quality, or similar tools.
- Technical Communication & Storytelling: Strong presentation skills with the ability to translate complex data concepts into compelling business outcomes and architectural solutions.
- Education: A Bachelor's or above degree in Computer Science or a closely related technical field.
- Regional Mobility: Ability to travel as needed (up to a maximum of 50% of the time) across the UK and Ireland region.
Bonus Experience (Desired, Not Required):
- Data & Cloud Fundamentals: Practical understanding of hybrid software deployments, database design, data warehousing, or business intelligence concepts.
- Specific Product Ecosystems: Hands-on experience with other Informatica or MuleSoft tools, such as MDM, data and application integration, and APIs.
- Regulatory Frameworks: In-depth knowledge of compliance mandates (e.g., GDPR, BCBS239, EU AI Act).
- Advanced AI Concepts: Specific exposure to Agentic AI and emerging generative workflows.
- Deployment Architectures: Sound understanding of hybrid deployment models, Data Warehousing, or specific BI software ecosystems.

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.
