About Salesforce
Salesforce is the #1 AI CRM, where humans with agents drive customer success together. Here, ambition meets action. Tech meets trust. And innovation isn’t a buzzword — it’s a way of life. The world of work as we know it is changing and we're looking for Trailblazers who are passionate about bettering business and the world through AI, driving innovation, and keeping Salesforce's core values at the heart of it all.
Ready to level-up your career at the company leading workforce transformation in the agentic era? You’re in the right place! Agentforce is the future of AI, and you are the future of Salesforce.
Governments are deciding right now how they’ll use AI. As our Public Sector Account Executive, you’ll help shape those decisions.
You’ll own a quota-carrying territory and act as a trusted advisor to the agencies, departments and decision-makers who deliver services to Australians. You’ll be working with a company that has made public sector a strategic priority, and our leaders are already in the room with the Australian Government on live policy and legislation.
You won’t be doing it alone. You’ll lead a matrix team of specialists who are all invested in your success.
What you’ll do
- Run your territory. Build territory and account plans that turn a defined customer base into a growing, predictable pipeline.
- Be the government expert. Stay ahead of regulatory change, government initiatives and procurement cycles, so customers come to you for advice.
- Win. Prospect, qualify, negotiate and close, and meet or exceed your quota.
- Match solutions to needs. Connect our products to what each agency needs to deliver.
- Lead the account team. You’ll guide a matrix team of Business Development Representatives, Cloud Sales Executives, Solution Engineers, Services Practice Managers, Marketing, Inside Sales Support and Customer Success. Together you’ll own the territory plan and build detailed plans for your largest accounts.
- Build the partner ecosystem. Develop strategic alliances as part of an integrated account and territory plan.
- Let your pipeline tell the story. We’re a CRM company, so your pipeline should show a clear strategy and accurate account status. That’s how we make good decisions and hit our targets.
- Earn long-term trust. Understand the real constraints your customers face, including budgets, regulation and shifting policy, and show how we help them solve for those constraints. Know the competition well.
- Keep everyone aligned. Communicate clearly with leaders, customers, partners and extended teams on public sector priorities.
- Get out to customers. Expect regular travel to customer sites, particularly across New South Wales.
- Keep growing. Take part in strategic planning, sales training, customer marketing and volunteering.
Why Salesforce
- Purpose built in. We pioneered the Pledge 1% model, and we’ve been named #1 on PEOPLE’s Top 50 Companies that Care and Fortune’s Change the World list.
- Give back. 7 paid volunteer days a year, plus matching for approved charitable donations.
- Be looked after. Health, Life, Trauma and Income Insurance, plus a monthly Wellness Allowance.
- Family and flexibility. Support for IVF, adoption and fertility preservation, parental benefits, and flexible time off and leave.
- And more. Additional perks and discounts.

Posting Statement
Salesforce is an equal opportunity employer and maintains a policy of non-discrimination with all employees and applicants for employment. What does that mean exactly? It means that at Salesforce, we believe in equality for all. And we believe we can lead the path to equality in part by creating a workplace that’s inclusive, and free from discrimination. Know your rights: workplace discrimination is illegal. Any employee or potential employee will be assessed on the basis of merit, competence and qualifications – without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender expression or identity, transgender status, age, disability, veteran or marital status, political viewpoint, or other classifications protected by law. This policy applies to current and prospective employees, no matter where they are in their Salesforce employment journey. It also applies to recruiting, hiring, job assignment, compensation, promotion, benefits, training, assessment of job performance, discipline, termination, and everything in between. Recruiting, hiring, and promotion decisions at Salesforce are fair and based on merit. The same goes for compensation, benefits, promotions, transfers, reduction in workforce, recall, training, and education.
