**** 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.

Applications will be accepted until 06/30/2026.The ideal candidate is a Transformation executive and strategic seller who can shape and secure our Tech, Media and/or Telecommunications programs. This isn't a traditional sales role; it is a 'player-coach' position for a strategist who can command a boardroom, navigate complex environments, and convert abstract visions into multi-million dollar commercial mandates.

As a high-octane problem solver, you will engineer the commercial roadmap and services propositions that accelerate tangible business outcomes. You are the strategic orchestrator of the account, possessing the organizational rigor to document complex work streams and the professional bravado to align C-Suite stakeholders. By conducting a unified "One Salesforce" pursuit, aligning License Sales, Product, and Customer Success, you chart a clear path for how Salesforce can operate as the primary engine for our customers' digital and agentic evolution.

The Director/Senior Director Account Partner leverages their prior experience leading customer experience, digitization, or sales/service/marketing transformation programs (preferably utilizing the Salesforce platform) as an internal leader or as an external consultant. APs ideally have led multiple transformation programs where they have not only helped paint the picture of the customer's vision but have also driven execution to achieve the desired value and outcomes.

The candidate is confident, experienced, and credible in the C-Suite, with an unwavering ability to influence action and results up, down, and across the organization.

Your goal is to engineer and secure strategic services programs that ensure customers realize the full ROI of their CRM, AI, and Data investments.
