About Salesforce

Salesforce, the Customer Success Platform and world’s #1 CRM, empowers companies to connect with their customers in a whole new way. We are the fastest growing of the top 10 enterprise software companies, the World’s Most Innovative Company according to Forbes, and one of Fortune’s 100 Best Companies to Work for six years running. The growth, innovation, and Aloha spirit of Salesforce are driven by our incredible employees who thrive on delivering success for our customers while also finding time to give back through our 1/1/1 model, which leverages 1% of our time, equity, and product to improve communities around the world.

Role Description

Our customers’ #1 priority is achieving accelerated and sustainable business value from their investments in Salesforce and with that taking their businesses to the digital age. Understanding the “how” has become critical for them to commit to the Customer360 Vision, and they are looking for Salesforce to partner more deeply with them to articulate a vision and deliver on that value. We leverage the Customer 360 Platform, deep experience across key industries, and expertise in technology, innovation, strategy and design to drive real change and success for our customers.

The Professional Services team focuses on delivering strategic engagements that define transformational opportunities and articulate clear plans for execution of change programs. We leverage our team’s expertise and specialisms to engage with executive-level customers to align on specific business goals and actions to unleash the full value of the Salesforce platform, and partner with our colleagues in Sales, Success Management, and Product to bring the full power of Salesforce expertise.

Our approach considers people, process, and technology — and a successful engagement includes recommendations to the business for change to support deeper, more relevant use of the Salesforce platform. We leverage design-led, human-centered approaches to work with our customers to identify and evaluate opportunities for change — then concept, co-create and develop a roadmap for making a transformed state real and self-sustaining.

Our ideal candidate thrives on questionning convention and pushing for innovation and change, grounded in solid research, strategy and design — all while guiding customers to align on vision & strategy and bridging it to execution. You are a self-starter who can work and collaborate effectively in teamsof various shapes and sizes, in pre-sales and delivery environments. You have an entrepreneurial mindset, are a strategic thinker, and are passionate about customer-centricity and digital transformation. Our team’s success relies on passionate consultants who are experts in their industry or process domain, strategic in approaching demanding circumstances, and willing to adapt and learn quickly as requirements or priorities shift. We are looking for colleagues who can think broadly about a customer’s business or industry, yet are obsessed with the details of delivering a well-considered and validated plan for transformation.

You are deeply grounded in our core values Trust, Innovation, Customer Success, and Equality.
