About Salesforce

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. 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? You’re in the right place! Agentforce is the future of AI, and you are the future of Salesforce.

Revenue Cloud is redefining how organisations manage their revenue lifecycle — from configure-price-quote to billing, subscriptions, and beyond. As part of Salesforce, Revenue Cloud empowers businesses to streamline their revenue operations, eliminate friction in the quote-to-cash process, and accelerate growth with a unified, intelligent platform.

We're on the lookout for results-driven SaaS sales professionals who thrive on solving business challenges and influencing change. In this role, you'll deliver exceptional customer experiences while driving new and existing business within the aligned vertical. This is a unique opportunity to drive transformative change for customers across the African continent, whilst contributing to the success of one of Salesforce's most strategic and fastest-growing solutions.

What You'll Do:
 

• Build trusted relationships with senior business and finance leaders across Africa, identifying critical revenue operations challenges and positioning Revenue Cloud as the solution to drive transformation

• Partner closely with Salesforce Core Account Executives to co-sell and unlock new Revenue Cloud opportunities across your African territory

• Navigate complex sales cycles with multi-stakeholder buying groups, including C-suite executives, CFOs, RevOps leaders, and technical decision-makers

• Develop compelling business cases and customer narratives that showcase Revenue Cloud's impact on quote-to-cash efficiency, revenue recognition, and billing automation

• Create and execute strategic account plans to consistently achieve and exceed your sales targets

• Own the full sales cycle — from prospecting and pipeline generation through negotiation and close

• Collaborate with Solution Engineers, Customer Success, and Salesforce partners to deliver tailored demos and solutions

• Lead commercial discussions, including pricing strategy, contract negotiations, and value articulation

• Stay ahead of relevant industry trends in revenue operations, CPQ, and billing, and represent Revenue Cloud at key industry events and forums across Africa

What We're Looking For:
 

• Proven success as a quota-carrying SaaS sales professional with experience meeting and exceeding targets

• Experience in complex, multi-stakeholder sales with a focus on strategic account management

• Strong ability to articulate value propositions tailored to enterprise customer needs, particularly around revenue operations and finance transformation

• A track record of engaging C-level and VP-level executives (CFO, CRO, VP Finance) and leading discovery conversations that drive outcomes

• Pipeline generation expertise, leveraging existing relationships and building new connections to drive opportunities across diverse African markets

• Familiarity with team-selling environments, aligning with Salesforce core AEs and Partners

• Exceptional negotiation, communication, and presentation skills

• Experience selling CPQ, billing, subscription management, ERP, or enterprise finance software solutions is highly preferred

• Experience selling across diverse African markets is highly valued and will set you apart!
