Through collaboration with the customer, internal business stakeholders like Account Executives, Solution Engineering peers, Product Management, Product Marketing, and more, you will develop thoughtful solutions and interact with the entire customer lifecycle. You will guide deal strategy by providing deep insight into the technical and business buyers, acting as a trusted advisor who drives innovation and improves business performance.

Key Responsibilities

This role focuses on partnering with clients and collaborating with internal team members to drive consensus on multi-product technology solutions across the various Salesforce product lines.
  • Solution Engineers work on a wide array of assignments including business development, operations and IT strategies, as well as product demonstrations. This person must assume the role of trusted advisor for driving innovative solutions forward while also improving business performance.
  • Business Problem Solving & Solutioning: Take ambiguous and sophisticated business problems, define the opportunity set, and recommend practical next steps. You will discover customer business needs, analyze requirements, and ultimately position the best Salesforce multi-product solutions.

Run customer-facing hands-on workshops with customers, and partner together for executing POCs (proof of concepts).
  • Connect Experiences: Demonstrate through both executive-level and business-level software demos and rapid prototyping how connected experiences come to life. Build customized solutions tailored to multiple personas, showcasing how Salesforce will accelerate their business strategies. Leverage agentic coding solutions (like Claude Code, Cursor, and more) to bring these custom demos to life.
  • Innovation & Consensus Management: Bring focus to a client's decision-making process by evaluating solution options (such as build vs. buy) and driving consensus among key C-level collaborators and IT stakeholders.
  • Cross-Functional Orchestration: Lead cross-functional solutions guides, align them to the opportunity strategy, and share best practices with the broader Solution Engineering community.
