Role
Who you are
- Long-term interest in a client-facing sales career
- Exemplary problem-solving skills and the resourceful ability to take initiative
- You thrive when solving challenges - no matter how large or small
- You are inquisitive, curious, and approach work with humility, determination, and grit
- You are passionate about helping people through technology
- You are a technology enthusiast, excited by constant innovation and re-imagining the future. Whether you code, or just geek out the latest and greatest - there's a place for you with Solution Engineering!
- You value inclusivity and equality for all - in your community and where you work
- This is a Salesforce office-based position which also requires flexibility to travel to customer on-sites
What the job involves
- Our Futureforce University Recruiting program is dedicated to attracting, retaining and cultivating talent
- Our interns and new graduates work on real projects that affect how our business runs, giving them the opportunity to make a tangible impact on the future of our company
- Start Date: Jan/Feb 2026
- Otherwise known as a " Pre-Sales Engineer" or "Sales Consultant," the Solution Engineer is responsible for presenting product offerings and architecture in the best light to prospects and customers, to evoke confidence in company’s technology infrastructure, and to remove all technical objections in the sales cycle
- To accomplish this, the Solution Engineer must have a strong desire to leverage their technical and/or sales skills, including the ability to solicit business requirements, develop a technical sales strategy, configure and effectively demonstrate the solutions that address these requirements and provide business value
- The Success Graduate Program is uniquely designed for early career candidates
- It will give you exposure to a myriad of solutions that create business value for our customers
- You will have many opportunities to impact and learn from colleagues all over the US while having fun and developing your career
- The Solution Engineering (SE) team is a group of professionals that have one foot in the technology camp, and one in the commercial side of the business
- We are experts in Salesforce’s applications, platform, and technology, but explain it in terms of the business impact and value it delivers
- SEs work primarily with the account teams to give our customers the confidence to move forward with their projects using Salesforce as their preferred technology. The key to this is unearthing and understanding the customer’s business imperatives
- This is done through research, discovery engagements, workshops, and spending time with key stakeholders. We then map Salesforce’s technology to these imperatives and prove how Salesforce uniquely addresses the customer’s requirements
- This proof can be as simple as a one-off meeting or involve a complex account strategy involving large teams
- Assist with hands-on product workshops and education sessions
- Assist sales teams with product demo design, build, and delivery
- Assist sales teams in responses to customer RFPs and requirements documents
- Work closely with other groups within Salesforce (e.g. alliances, sales effectiveness, product marketing, etc..) to develop and execute solutions programs and initiatives
- Participate in all appropriate product, sales, and procedural training and certification to acquire and maintain the knowledge necessary to be effective in the position
- Cover trade show booth shifts. Responsibilities include answering technical questions and demonstrating Salesforce solutions to customers and prospects
- Attain quarterly and annual objectives assigned by management
Our take
Salesforce is a global cloud computing company, best known for its on-demand, comprehensive customer relationship management (CRM) solutions. The company was launched to mitigate the doubts that business owners felt regarding third party companies holding their data.
By providing essential, customer-oriented CRM software, Salesforce places itself at the heart of digitised businesses. Furthermore, by building out its AI capabilities, the company removes the complexity of AI, enabling any business to deliver smarter, personalised and more predictive customer experiences.
Due to the continued innovation offered by the company, over 150,000 companies, both big and small, are growing their business with Salesforce today. Despite a tumultuous 2023 filled with activist investors, a boardroom shake-up and the unprecedented step-down of Co-CEO Bret Taylor, Salesforce continues to close several acquisition deals and managed to drive up its stock value by 96% from the end of 2022 to 2023.
