This is the challenge
Shape growth. Build relevance. Drive impact.
We’re looking for a senior, consultative commercial leader with deep Salesforce experience to accelerate and scale our Salesforce-related growth in the UK. This is a high-impact role focused on shaping demand, strengthening our position in the Salesforce ecosystem and driving complex, high-value opportunities.
This is not a traditional software sales role. It’s for someone with a consulting mindset who understands large-scale transformation, can navigate complex client environments and feels comfortable operating between clients, Salesforce teams and global delivery organisations.
You’ll play a visible role in expanding our Salesforce footprint—contributing both to near-term opportunities and longer-term growth strategy.
What you’ll be doing
•
Leading the development and growth of Salesforce-related opportunities in the UK market
•
Building strong, trusted relationships with Salesforce Account Executives, RVPs and Industry Leads
•
Originating and shaping opportunities through thought leadership, points of view and content-led conversations
•
Engaging senior client stakeholders in strategic discussions around customer experience, data, AI and operating model transformation
•
Contributing to account strategies across a focused set of priority clients
•
Working closely with global and nearshore delivery teams to shape compelling, scalable propositions
•
Acting as a visible and credible Salesforce specialist, both externally in the UK market and internally
What we want from you
•
10–15+ years’ experience in consulting, advisory or transformation-led commercial roles
•
Background equivalent to Senior Manager or early Managing Director level in a leading consulting or systems integration firm (e.g. Accenture, Deloitte, McKinsey Digital)
•
Strong understanding of Salesforce-enabled transformation (Core CRM, Marketing, Data, AI)
•
Proven ability to sell and shape complex, multi-cloud transformation programmes
•
Trusted advisor profile with senior client stakeholders and Salesforce teams
•
Commercially minded, results-oriented and comfortable taking ownership
•
Naturally consultative: you lead with insight, not product
•
Content-led and narrative-driven, using points of view and use cases to open doors
•
Relational and collaborative, able to build trust across clients, partners and internal teams
