Sales Strategy Analyst

Salesforce Salesforce · Enterprise · Chicago, IL +2

Sales Strategy Analyst role at Salesforce, focusing on supporting the TMT sales organization. The role involves analyzing data, building forecast models, preparing business reviews, and identifying strategies to drive AI sales success. It requires strong analytical, communication, and presentation skills, with proficiency in Excel, SQL, and Tableau.

What you'd actually do

  1. Own the weekly KPI pulse for a $1B+ business: surfacing pipeline health, coverage gaps, Y/Y trends, and segment hotspots for AVP/SVP leadership
  2. Build and maintain forecast math models that inform quarterly commit narratives up to the EVP level, including in-quarter and out-quarter target setting
  3. Prepare Monthly/Quarterly Business Review decks with cross-functional inputs (Partners, Programs, top deals, competitive intelligence, C&C attainment, Y/Y performance); turning it into a coherent story.
  4. Partner with specialist and core sales teams to identify the playbooks, signals, and patterns that distinguish top AI deals - and scale those insights across the org
  5. Build tools used by the entire sales org: ad-hoc query repositories, tracking workbooks, and reporting assets that business partners and specialists rely on to run their business
