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.
Ready to level-up your career at the company leading workforce transformation in the agentic era?

This role is reserved for proven Financial Services industry leaders who have successfully navigated complex, enterprise-wide change.
The role is a rare opportunity to engage with our region's leading organisations as they transform to become Agentic Enterprises.
You'll be bridging the gap between C-Suite strategy and the enabling technology to deliver measurable P&L impact with Salesforce.
As the CCTA, you'll serve as a trusted advisor to Customer CIO/CTO/EA functions and their teams, and be technically credible to their engineering leads, translating complex business challenges into a clear roadmap for success by leveraging Salesforce's Agentforce 360 platform.
You will work closely with Account Team leaders to co-define the long-range plans, shaping sales strategy and guiding a cross-functional multi-disciplined team of pre-sales specialists.

Accountability for Deliverables: Develop and deliver key business proposals, strategic roadmaps, Proof-of-Concepts (POCs) and education that establish the clear technology, risk and commercial rationale for the investment approval.
Orchestrate & Align: Bring together a diverse team of internal and external experts – including Sales, Pre-Sales, Success, Services and Partner resources – to collaboratively drive strategic opportunities.
