What You’ll Do:

• Experience selling to Consumer Goods is highly desirable.

• Strong understanding of the consumer goods industry’s challenges and trends

• Ability to build relationships with senior decision-makers and collaborate effectively in a strategic sales environment.

• Passion for innovation, learning, and working in a high-performing, team-oriented sales culture.

Recruiting, hiring, and promotion decisions at Salesforce are fair and based on merit. The same goes for compensation, benefits, promotions, transfers, reduction in workforce, recall, training, and education.
