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.

The Experience

The Account Executive, Switzerland, is part of the Swiss Sales team at Salesforce, responsible for executing go-to-market (GTM) initiatives, scaling market presence, and driving double-digit year-over-year growth across assigned territory. In this role, you will lead both new logo acquisition and expansion within existing accounts — fostering operational excellence, cross-functional collaboration, and customer success across key verticals.

We are looking for an Account Executive who brings a proven track record in sales, strategic account management, and building strong partnerships within complex transformation programmes.

What You'll Actually Be Doing

• Lead and execute Switzerland's GTM strategy — driving pipeline generation, conversion, and consumption metrics across key verticals, while utilising data-driven methods and automation to optimise sales processes, forecasting, and pipeline management.
• Collaborate with partners and internal teams to scale adoption, ensure customer success, and implement industry-specific sales motions and marketing activities that win new customers and develop customer success stories.
• Participate in delivery motions to ensure strong platform adoption and successful use case realisation, supporting customers through both the sales and implementation journey.
• Contribute to Salesforce Switzerland's broader strategy by prioritising enablement, supporting cross-functional collaboration, and driving continuous learning and development across the team.

You're Our Person If...

• You have extensive experience in sales and delivery within the technology or Software as a Service (SaaS) sector, with a demonstrated track record of executing sales strategies and driving growth across specific accounts and markets.
• You have a deep understanding of Swiss businesses and industry-specific requirements, with strong negotiation, communication, and collaboration skills.
• You are skilled at working across partners, internal teams, and customers to achieve shared goals in a complex, matrixed environment.
• You are fluent in German and English (spoken and written); proficiency in French is a strong advantage for this role.

Even Better If...

• You have experience selling while implementing — participating in delivery motions and supporting use case realisation alongside the sales cycle.
• You have familiarity with Salesforce's broader portfolio and experience driving adoption and expansion within enterprise or strategic accounts in Switzerland.
