Sales & Business Development
Melbourne VIC, Australia
Posted on Feb 19, 2026

Description

Salesforce’s General Business segment represents a critical growth engine within our Australian go-to-market strategy. Serving organisations with 500–2,000 employees, this segment operates at the intersection of enterprise-level complexity and commercial agility.

These customers are established, strategically significant organisations with layered decision-making structures, multi-cloud opportunity, and transformation agendas that require sophisticated solution design. At the same time, their scale allows for velocity, broader portfolio exposure, and meaningful ownership across the full sales lifecycle.

For experienced enterprise Account Executives, this role offers the opportunity to broaden platform mastery across Salesforce Customer 360, deepen executive engagement capability, and build diversified revenue experience, strengthening long-term mobility into Enterprise, Specialist, or Leadership pathways.

Your Impact

In the General Business segment, you operate at the intersection of enterprise complexity and portfolio breadth. Your focus is consistent: drive meaningful customer outcomes while growing Salesforce’s presence across your territory.

You will:

  • Drive new business and expansion across a portfolio of established organisations (500–2,000 employees)

    Represent the full Salesforce Customer 360 platform, connecting multiple clouds to address complex, cross-functional business challenges

  • Develop thoughtful account strategies that balance immediate revenue opportunities with long-term customer value

  • Build trusted, multi-level relationships within customer organisations, including executive stakeholders

  • Identify whitespace opportunities and expand Salesforce’s footprint through strategic cross-cloud positioning

  • Lead sophisticated, multi-product sales cycles end-to-end — from discovery and qualification through deal strategy, negotiation, forecasting, and close

  • Engage in executive conversations, industry forums, and customer roundtables to shape transformation agendas

  • Continuously build platform fluency across Salesforce’s evolving product suite and the broader enterprise technology landscape

  • Define territory and vertical strategies, identifying priority accounts and executing structured go-to-market plans

    Maintain disciplined pipeline management and forecasting accuracy within a complex, multi-opportunity environment

Why this matters in GB:

Unlike highly specialised enterprise roles, you will build broad Customer 360 mastery across industries and use cases, strengthening both your commercial adaptability and long-term internal mobility.
