The Experience
The Named Account Executive is part of our Enterprise Sales team, responsible for owning and growing a defined set of named accounts across the Austrian market.

We are looking for a Named Account Executive who combines strategic account management with a consultative, value-based selling approach and the ability to build lasting C-level relationships.
What You'll Actually Be Doing

Collaborate with cross-functional teams including Sales Engineers, Solution Specialists, Marketing, Services, and Partners to deliver a cohesive customer experience and maintain accurate pipeline forecasting.
You're Our Person If...
You have a proven track record of selling enterprise software solutions in a quota-carrying role, with consistent performance against revenue targets and experience developing quantitative business cases and return on investment (ROI) analyses.
You are skilled at strategic account planning — mapping complex stakeholder landscapes, prioritising opportunities, and coordinating cross-functional teams to deliver results.
You are fluent in German and English and can engage confidently across presentations, negotiations, and executive-level interactions.
You are a strong problem solver with excellent organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
Even Better If...
You have experience selling into a specific vertical such as Financial Services, Manufacturing, or Retail.
You have sales methodology training or certifications, and a history of collaborating with extended teams and partners to close large, strategic deals.

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. Know your rights: workplace discrimination is illegal.

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.
