Commercial Cloud Account Executive - Tableau

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.
