Job description

Are you ready to shape the digital future of the Austrian Market? As a Lead Account Solution Engineer on our Austria team, you’ll partner with enterprise customers to turn their business challenges into high-impact Salesforce solutions - acting as a trusted technical advisor and strategic co-pilot to your Account Executive. You’ll focus predominantly on Enterprise customers while also working across all segments, helping balance capacity in a growing Austrian market and a vibrant, expanding team.

What You’ll Do

  • Advise Strategically: Partner with your Account Executive to develop account strategy and co-create business-driven solutions.
  • Lead Discovery: Run discovery sessions to identify customer pain points, then co-create solutions on the Salesforce platform together with the customer and our Builder Teams.
  • Deliver the Vision: Build and present customized demos, architectural concepts, and compelling value propositions tailored to customer challenges.
  • Build Trust at All Levels: Clearly articulate Salesforce’s value to everyone from IT administrators to C-level executives.
  • Orchestrate the Team: Coordinate extended Solution Engineering resources to deliver multi-cloud solutions.
  • Represent Salesforce: Participate in marketing and partner events.
  • Gradually build a specialisation: Develop deep expertise in key target industries of the Austrian market.
  • Elevate the Team: Mentor peers, engage in internal training programs, and stay ahead of emerging technologies - especially AI and Agentforce., Austria customers are navigating complex decisions about digitalization, process improvement, and growth. Your ability to capture the C-Suite’s mind share and translate technology into business outcomes will directly fuel their transformation - and ours. Increasingly, this means co-creating solutions side by side with customers and our Builder Teams, as Solution Engineering shifts toward co-creation and consumption.

You think strategically, communicate clearly, and are passionate about technology and continuous learning.

Why This Team & How We Help You Grow You’ll join a collaborative, diverse team that thrives on mentorship, professional development, and a healthy work/life balance. We invest in your growth - expanding your knowledge in emerging tech, Agentforce, and Data solutions - while you bring the process and industry expertise and presales passion.

Requirements

Do you have a Bachelor’s degree?, * 8+ years of professional experience in roles where technology meets business outcomes, such as presales, solution engineering, consulting (including in-house consulting), or software delivery in complex enterprise environments. We equally value experience built on the customer side, or in in-house roles with strong exposure to customer-centric functions such as Sales, Sales Strategy, or Service.

  • A genuine interest in building, backed by a proven track record of applying technology to solve real business problems. You enjoy moving from understanding a challenge to shaping a working solution with the customer.
