Job description
- The Prime Position: As a Data Foundation AE, you carry quota for both MuleSoft and Informatica - covering both products in full.
- The Unfair Advantage: Youâll sell the #1 priority for every 2026 C-suite executive: turning âstatic dataâ into âagentic actionâ - with a portfolio no competitor can match.
- The Power Trio: You are at the center - bringing together MuleSoft for API-led integration and Informatica for deep data management and quality, while partnering with Data Cloud to deliver at scale. Together, you ensure customers bridge the âData Gapâ that holds AI back.
As a Data Foundation AE, you are the strategic lead for the foundational layer of the Salesforce ecosystem. You donât just sell connectivity or data management; you sell the integrated infrastructure - MuleSoft + Informatica - that makes modern enterprise intelligence possible.
What Youâll Actually Be Doing
- Own the Data Foundation Mandate: You carry quota for both MuleSoft and Informatica and are responsible for driving ACV across both products. Your primary objective is to position the Data Foundation as the essential layer for every AI initiative.
- Lead âData Foundationâ Discovery: You will lead deep-dive sessions with CIOs and Data Architects to uncover the fragmented systems and data quality issues holding their AI back. Youâll articulate how a MuleSoft + Informatica-led foundation is the only way to build a secure, future-proof AI roadmap.
- Orchestrate the Ecosystem: You are the âquarterback.â You commercially engage with both MuleSoft and Informatica, while partnering with technical specialists across each product to solve complex data gravity problems - ensuring the Data Foundation delivers as one unified solution.
- Identify âAI-Readyâ Whitespace: You will hunt for high-value use cases across both products. Youâll show a CIO, Head of Operations, or CFO how MuleSoftâs integration layer and Informaticaâs data management capabilities combine to automate workflows and prep the enterprise for an autonomous future.
- Value-Based Outcomes: Youâll spend your day translating technical connectivity and data management capabilities into high-level business ROI. Youâll prove that without a robust Data Foundation - built on MuleSoft and Informatica - an enterpriseâs AI and Data investments cannot succeed.
Requirements
- Sales Experience: 2+ years of full cycle sales experience, ideally with some exposure to SaaS or technology solutions
- SMB Customer Focus: Experience working with small business owners or key decision-makers, with the ability to build trust quickly and guide customers through a more consultative buying process
- Tech Solutions Aptitude: Familiarity with software, cloud, or platform solutions - you donât need to be a developer, but youâre comfortable having conversations about technology and learning fast
- Business Acumen: Ability to connect a customerâs day-to-day challenges to tangible business outcomes like saving time, reducing costs, or growing revenue
- Collaborative Mindset: Comfortable working across teams - you know when to loop in a specialist and how to keep a deal moving with multiple people involved
- AI & Data Curiosity: A genuine interest in how AI tools are changing the way small businesses operate. Youâre excited to learn and share whatâs possible
- Adaptability: You thrive in a fast-paced environment, manage a high volume of accounts, and can prioritize effectively without losing the personal touch
- Experience Considered Holistically: We evaluate candidates based on the full picture - work experience, volunteer roles, military service, entrepreneurship, and other leadership experience all count
- Location: Close proximity to office hub required; role is 4 days on-site per week
