Strategic Account Executive

Overview of the Role:
As an Account Executive on our General Business team, you own a portfolio of current enterprise accounts (1000-4000 employee count) across the UK. You will sell the full Salesforce product portfolio into private sector accounts. You act as a trusted advisor, identifying opportunities and connecting customers to the right solutions to support their growth. You'll balance high-velocity deals with larger strategic opportunities, giving you broad exposure across deal types and industries.

Responsibilities:

• Own and grow a defined enterprise customer patch, driving upsell and cross-sell opportunities across line-of-business leaders and the C-suite.
• Serve as a trusted digital advisor, deeply understanding customer challenges, operating models, and strategic objectives.
• Lead customers through enterprise-scale transformation, positioning Salesforce as a strategic platform rather than a point solution.
• Storytell Salesforce’s value with clarity and impact — translating complex technology into compelling business outcomes.
• Multi-thread complex deals across senior stakeholders beyond the CTO, including commercial, operational, and executive sponsors.
• Confidently engage in environments with high scrutiny and governance, including senior internal and customer sponsors.
• Collaborate closely with the extended account team and partners, demonstrating a strong team-sport mentality within a complex ecosystem.
• Maintain high operational rigor across forecasting, pipeline management, and deal discipline.
• Contribute to Salesforce’s success and culture as a valued member of our Ohana
