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.

This business is foundational to how customers connect data, systems, and experiences across their organizations.
Salesforce is seeking a senior commercial leader to serve as the ANZ Country Leader for Data Foundations. This role goes beyond traditional second-line sales leadership. It is a strategic market ownership position responsible for defining and scaling the ANZ go-to-market strategy in close partnership with Core Sales and cross-functional executive stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications:
Experience working with business owners to support their technology needs.
Experience managing high velocity high volume complex sales territories.

Managing up remotely
Influence and informal leadership
Deep understanding of ANZ market as well as Mule (or similar product)
