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.

Applications will be accepted until 09/30/2026.

About the Role

We are looking for a driven and consultative Account Executive (Enterprise/Major Accounts) to join our Higher Education team. You will focus on MuleSoft and Informatica — partnering closely with Salesforce's core AE team to deliver a complete, connected solution to Higher Education institutions.

Higher Education is at an inflection point. With enrollment pressures mounting and budgets tightening, institutions can no longer afford disconnected systems or siloed data. MuleSoft breaks down silos across admissions, SIS, LMS, and legacy infrastructure. Informatica ensures that foundation is clean, reliable, and FERPA-compliant. Together, they power Agentforce — enabling AI agents for student retention, advising, enrollment conversion, and donor engagement.

What You Will Do
 

• Build trusted relationships with Higher Ed stakeholders — CIOs, Provosts, VP Enrollment Management, and Chief Data Officers.

• Align account strategy with each institution's enrollment, retention, and advancement objectives.

• Position MuleSoft and Informatica as the data infrastructure required for successful AI transformation.

• Drive growth across both existing accounts and greenfield prospects.

You Are Our Ideal Profile If...
 

• You have full-cycle sales experience, ideally within Higher Education or Public Sector.

• You're comfortable selling technical platforms and navigating complex, matrixed organizations.

• You understand Integration / API / Data Governance / Automation — and can translate that into outcomes university leaders care about.

Unleash Your Potential

When you join Salesforce, you’ll be limitless in all areas of your life. Our benefits and resources support you to find balance and be your best, and our AI agents accelerate your impact so you can do your best. Together, we’ll bring the power of Agentforce to organizations of all sizes and deliver amazing experiences that customers love. Apply today to not only shape the future — but to redefine what’s possible — for yourself, for AI, and the world.
