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.

• Supportive Culture: Be part of an inclusive, highly collaborative pre-sales team with dedicated mentorship focused on your long-term career growth.
• Impactful Work: Work at the forefront of AI and data innovation, directly helping enterprises solve complex compliance, governance, and architecture challenges.
• Core Values: Work for a company that leads with Trust, Customer Success, and Equality.

• In Your First 30–60 Days: You'll complete onboarding, pair with senior teammates on customer opportunities, get certified on core Data Foundation products.
• By Day 90: You’ll start to lead architectural discussions with our customers,  Deliver architecture presentations that are tailored to the client’s technical requirements and audience, and work alongside Client Solution Engineers on strategic opportunities.
• Beyond: You’ll lead high-level architectural workshops with C-suite executives, architect tailored Proofs of Concept (PoCs), create thought leadership material, support public events and mentor incoming team members on best practices.

• Data Architecture Strategy & Value Realisation: Proven ability to analyse complex customer challenges and architect innovative Data solutions. You will guide critical architectural discussions around data foundations—advising stakeholders on data governance, cataloguing, and data quality tools—to design accessible, trustworthy architectures and foster continuous platform adoption by identifying new business use cases.
• Storytelling & Architectural Advisory: Strong experience partnering collaboratively with Sales and Solutions Engineering teams during the sales process, providing crucial architectural guidance to support the creation of compelling demos that clearly illustrate immediate ROI and practical application for diverse stakeholders.
• Workshop Facilitation & Strategic Alignment: Expertise in orchestrating inclusive, targeted technical workshops to guide key decisions and align architectural best practices with the customer's core business priorities.
• Thought Leadership & Technical Enablement: A track record of producing clear architectural diagrams and best-practice documentation, actively sharing knowledge on emerging AI trends and Data innovations to empower both internal teams and customers.
• Education: A Bachelor's or above degree in Computer Science or a closely related technical field.
• Regional Mobility: Ability to travel as needed (up to a maximum of 30% of the time) across the UK and Ireland region.

• Hands-On Implementation Experience: While this role focuses on architectural strategy and advisory, practical, hands-on configuration or implementation experience with these data governance and quality tools is considered a strong advantage.
• Data & Cloud Fundamentals: Practical understanding of hybrid software deployments, database design, data warehousing, or business intelligence concepts.
• Specific Product Ecosystems: Architectural experience with other Informatica or MuleSoft tools, such as MDM, data and application integration, and APIs.
• Regulatory Frameworks: In-depth knowledge of compliance mandates (e.g., GDPR, BCBS239, EU AI Act).
• Advanced AI Concepts: Specific exposure to Agentic AI and emerging generative workflows.

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. Any employee or potential employee will be assessed on the basis of merit, competence and qualifications – without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender expression or identity, transgender status, age, disability, veteran or marital status, political viewpoint, or other classifications protected by law. 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.
