You will also be paired with experienced Solution Engineer Buddies during the SE Rotation who will involve you in their live deals. Throughout the programme, you will gain exposure to senior sales and solution engineering professionals during our inspiration sessions.

What does our EMEA Graduate Program look like?

The program is structured as follows:

Introduction Month

During your first month, you will receive extensive onboarding enablement through a Salesforce-style academy, where you will:

• Become immersed in the culture of Salesforce and gain a deep understanding of our values
• Develop an understanding of our solutions, technologies, and tools
• Learn critical professional skills for your career at Salesforce
• Follow a structured learning calendar with sessions and hands-on workshops led by experts and program alumni

Rotations

• During the Graduate Program, graduates on both the Sales and Solution Engineering Paths will follow the same curriculum and complete the same rotations. Essentially you will gain exposure to both the Sales and Solution Engineering Roles. The structure of each rotation is similar: you will spend 60% of your time immersed in the role with clear tasks, targets, and stakeholder alignment, while the remaining 40% will focus on role‑specific learning. You will be paired with experienced buddies in each path.
• If your first rotation (months 2 through 4) is in Sales, you will then join the Solution Engineering Rotation from months 5 through 7, and vice versa. Over these six months, you will have built the fundamental skills for these complementary disciplines. Having gone deeper on your solution knowledge, learning how to demo and having exposure to later stages of the sales cycle during the solution engineering rotation will set you up for sucess as you promote throught the various sales roles - SDR, BDR, AE and beyond. Throughout the rotations, there will be self-paced certifications and skills assessments. You must meet all eligibility criteria before you can panel for promotion.
