• Engage with prospect and existing organisations to position Salesforce Marketing Cloud solutions through strategic value-based selling, business case definition, and return on investment analysis.
• Own the end-to-end sales cycle through engagement of appropriate resources including core sales teams, Solution Engineers, Professional Services, Executives, and Partners.
• Maintain accurate weekly, monthly, and quarterly forecasting and revenue delivery while strengthening client relationships through regular engagement and in-person meetings.

You're Our Person If...

• You have strong sales forecasting abilities and credibility with both customers and internal stakeholders, with experience managing complex sales cycles across enterprise accounts.
• You are fluent in German and English (spoken and written) and are based in Switzerland.
• You bring energy, drive, and a genuine passion for helping customers grow their businesses through technology.

Even Better If...
