• Use AI-driven insights and tools (account research, pipeline intelligence, deal coaching) to sharpen account strategy and outreach - modeling for customers how AI agents amplify a great salesperson rather than replace one.
• Collaborate with solution sales, solution engineers, professional services, and the broader Salesforce ecosystem to deliver consultative, outcome-based solutions - including AI-powered use cases tailored to manufacturing and automotive workflows.
• Define and pursue significant revenue targets with a long-term growth mindset, navigating fast-paced, AI-driven market shifts with focus and adaptability.

You’re Our Person If...
