About Salesforce
We’re Salesforce, the Customer Company, inspiring the future of business with AI+ Data +CRM. Leading with our core values, we help companies across every industry blaze new trails and connect with customers in a whole new way. And, we empower you to be a Trailblazer, too — driving your performance and career growth, charting new paths, and improving the state of the world. If you believe in business as the greatest platform for change and in companies doing well and doing good – you’ve come to the right place.
We are looking for an outstanding Senior Manager to join our Solution Engineering team, focused on our SMB customer segment in the UK and Ireland. SMB is the engine room of Salesforce! Our Small and Medium Business (SMB) team is at the heart of the company's growth, operating in a dynamic, fast-paced environment where you'll see the impact of your work almost immediately.
You'll be a trusted advisor to a diverse range of customers across every industry in the UK and Ireland. The sales cycles are quicker, the challenges are varied, and the wins come thick and fast. You will directly witness how your solutions help small and medium-sized businesses transform and thrive.
While you'll focus on the UK & Ireland market, you're part of a much bigger picture. We pride ourselves on our collaborative spirit, actively sharing knowledge and best practices with our EMEA SE hub in Dublin and our colleagues across the AMER organization. If you thrive on energy, variety, and seeing rapid, tangible results, you'll feel right at home.

Driving Creative Customer Engagement: You'll think outside the box to support our customers throughout their entire lifecycle.

You'll work closely with the Sales organization to develop and execute growth plans to drive our strategic vision.
Embodying Flexible Leadership: You'll demonstrate adaptable behaviors, thriving in a dynamic environment and readily adjusting your approach to meet evolving business needs and market demands. You'll focus on innovation, ensuring the team is constantly innovating in their approach to solution selling, and act as a transformational thinker and leader, taking the business to the next level through disruptive thinking and innovation.
