Own the end-to-end sales cycle through engagement of appropriate resources including core sales teams, Solution Engineers, Professional Services, Executives, and Partners.
Maintain accurate weekly, monthly, and quarterly forecasting and revenue delivery while strengthening client relationships through regular engagement and in-person meetings.
You're Our Person If...

You have strong sales forecasting abilities and credibility with both customers and internal stakeholders, with experience managing complex sales cycles across enterprise accounts.
You are fluent in German and English (spoken and written) and are based in Switzerland.
You bring energy, drive, and a genuine passion for helping customers grow their businesses through technology.
Even Better If...

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.

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.
