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.

As a seasoned Solution Engineer – Data & Agentic Marketing AI at Salesforce, you will serve as a
strategic advisor and deep product expert, partnering with enterprise sales teams to address complex
customer challenges across marketing transformation, data unification, and agentic AI-driven customer
intelligence. You bring a strong background in Martech and AdTech ecosystems — understanding how
brands plan, activate, measure, and optimise marketing across paid and owned channels. You are a
hands-on technologist and a compelling communicator — equally comfortable architecting a Data Cloud
solution, building a live PoC, and presenting to a C-suite audience. With your extensive experience
across Marketing Cloud, Data Cloud, Lakehouse architecture, and Data Management, you will lead high-
impact engagements across Financial Services, Real Estate, Retail & Consumer Goods, EdTech, FinTech,
Telecom, Media, and Technology/GIC sectors.
Responsibilities
• Lead strategic pre-sales engagements for enterprise and strategic accounts, partnering with
Account Executives and Sales Leadership to drive complex, multi-cloud deals
• Architect, build, and deliver hands-on Proof of Concepts (PoCs) — taking full ownership from
scoping through execution and presentation, tailored to customer-specific use cases across data
ingestion, unification, segmentation, real-time activation, and AI-driven personalisation
• Deliver world-class, customised product demonstrations — live, unrehearsed, and deeply
tailored to the customer's industry, data landscape, and business objectives
• Lead executive-level discovery and whiteboarding sessions to uncover business requirements
around marketing strategy, AdTech/Martech stack architecture, customer data management,
and data governance
• Design and present comprehensive solution architectures connecting operational data,
marketing data, paid media signals, and analytical insights via Salesforce Data Cloud and Zero
Copy integrations
• Champion Data Management and Governance best practices — including data quality, master
data management, data stewardship, lineage, and compliance
• Lead complex RFP/RFI responses, solution proposals, and business value assessments for large
enterprise customers
• Represent Salesforce as a thought leader — at industry events, executive briefings, customer
advisory boards, and community conferences
• Mentor and coach junior SEs, contributing to the broader SE community through enablement,
playbooks, and reusable demo assets
• Stay ahead of the curve on Salesforce Data Cloud, Lakehouse, Agentforce, Marketing Cloud
roadmaps, Martech/AdTech trends, and the competitive landscape
