The world of work as we know it is changing and we're looking for Trailblazers who are passionate about bettering business and the world through AI, driving innovation, and keeping Salesforce's core values at the heart of it all.
Ready to level-up your career at the company leading workforce transformation in the agentic era? You’re in the right place! Agentforce is the future of AI, and you are the future of Salesforce.
The Future of Public Sector Excellence
Salesforce is the #1 AI CRM, where humans with agents drive customer success together. Ambition meets action. Tech meets trust. For us, innovation isn’t a buzzword—it’s how we empower governments to serve their citizens. We are looking for Trailblazers passionate about AI, data-driven transparency, and the mission of the public sector.
As a Tableau Specialist, you will join our dedicated Public Sector team covering Switzerland and Austria. In this strategic overlay role, you will partner with Account Executives to lead data and analytics transformations across federal and cantonal/state governments, education, healthcare, and public utilities.
Your Impact
You are the primary authority for Tableau within the Alpine region. You don’t just sell a tool; you shape the vision for how data enables smarter policy-making and operational excellence. You will guide public sector leaders from initial curiosity to full-scale adoption, proving that visual analytics—grounded in trusted data—is the backbone of modern government.
Key Responsibilities
- Specialist Sales Execution: Partner with Account Executives to build and close a high-impact Tableau pipeline. Lead sophisticated product demonstrations, custom Proof-of-Values (PoV), and tailored executive presentations.
- Strategic Customer Engagement: Act as a trusted advisor to CDOs, CIOs, and Heads of Digitalization. Position Tableau and Data Cloud as essential enablers for AI readiness and public sector modernization.
- Solution Vision: Translate complex public sector challenges—such as eGovernment initiatives, open data mandates, and reporting obligations—into compelling, actionable visual use cases.
- Ecosystem Orchestration: Collaborate across a matrixed organization (Solution Engineers, Customer Success, and the Salesforce Public Sector team) to deliver a "One Salesforce" experience.
- Partner Alignment: Engage with local systems integrators and consultancies specializing in the Swiss and Austrian public sectors (SIMAP/BVergG focus) to accelerate joint opportunities.
- Operational Excellence: Maintain rigorous forecasting and opportunity management within your portfolio using the Salesforce CRM.
What We’re Looking For
- Expertise: Proven experience in a specialist sales or overlay role, specifically within Data, Analytics, or Enterprise SaaS (BI, Data Platforms, or AI-driven insights).
- Public Sector Fluency: Deep understanding of the public sector landscape in Switzerland and/or Austria, including specific procurement frameworks (e.g., SIMAP/WTO in CH; BVergG in AT).
- The "Data Storyteller": Ability to command a room of senior stakeholders, translating technical data capabilities into tangible business and societal value.
- Collaborative Mindset: A team player who thrives in a fast-paced, matrixed environment and knows how to win together.
- Language Mastery: Fluency in German and English is mandatory. Proficiency in French is a significant advantage for Swiss Federal accounts.
Why Join Salesforce?
- Mission-Driven Work: Help Swiss and Austrian public entities leverage data to improve citizen outcomes and social services.
- Market Leadership: Work with Tableau, the gold standard in analytics, backed by the global leader in AI and CRM.
- Unmatched Culture: Join a values-led organization grounded in Trust, Customer Success, Innovation, and Equality.
- Growth & Development: Access world-class enablement, continuous sales training, and global career mobility.
Benefits & Success
- Compensation: Highly competitive package with uncapped commission and an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP).
- Empowerment: We offer a fast-paced environment where you are empowered to lead. We align the entire company on the same objectives, ensuring you are set up for success from day one.
- Equality: We are intentional about creating an inclusive community where every individual’s voice is heard and everyone is empowered to be their authentic self.
