About Salesforce

Founded in 1999, Salesforce is the global leader in Customer Relationship Management (CRM). Companies of every size and industry are using Salesforce to transform their businesses, across sales, service, marketing, commerce, and more by connecting with customers in a whole new way. We harness technologies that can revolutionize companies, careers, and, hopefully, our world.

In August 2023, Salesforce will be officially opening an office in Dubai and is therefore looking for candidates, preferably already residing in the Emirates, to fill new positions in its Sales and Business Development team. Salesforce will also deploy its Data Centre in the UAE in 2023 allowing for the rapid growth in the regulated industries that are reliant on the Security and Data Residency requirements stipulated by the local Governmental regulations.

This is an exciting time to be part of the Salesforce ecosystem, not only will these announcements bring great benefit to the Middle East region but with its five core values: Trust, Customer Success, Innovation, Equality and Sustainability, Salesforce aims to be a force for good too. By making technology more accessible, we're helping create a future with greater opportunity and equality for all. This has taken our company to great heights, including being named one of the FORTUNE "100 Best Companies to Work For" 2022 — 14 years in a row.
