Description

Fixed-term contract

Duration: 12 months

Start Date: August 2026

We are thrilled to invite ambitious graduate candidates who would like to build a career in Salesforce to apply for the 5th cohort of our EMEA Graduate Rotation Program – Solution Engineering Path.

This exciting 12-month program is designed to give graduates exposure to both solution engineering and sales. Having built the foundational skills for both roles and met our eligibility criteria, top graduates on this path can begin their Salesforce Solution Engineering careers. The promotion window opens from month 7 onwards.

Our graduate program is a fully immersive experience, combining comprehensive learning paths with in-role experience. You will be assigned an experienced Solution Engineering Buddy who will provide hands-on coaching and involve you in some of their live deals. You will also be paired with experienced Sales Development Buddies during the Sales Rotation and you also get to call your first salesforce leads and find your first deals. Throughout the programme, you will gain exposure to senior solution engineering and sales professionals during our inspiration sessions.

By joining Salesforce, you will have the opportunity to lay the foundation for a fast-paced, successful career. We are a proud member of the Fortune 100 Best Places to Work list for the past 14 years and a consistent winner of Great Place to Work awards.

Who are we looking for?

• You are a 2025 or 2026 graduate (minimum bachelor’s degree)

• For the Solution Engineering Path, we consider applicants from the following academic backgrounds:

  Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Technology, Software Engineering, Data Science/Data Engineering, Information Systems, or other adjacent disciplines

• You are a creative problem-solver

• You are a relationship builder and possess a growth mindset

What does our new EMEA Graduate Program look like?

The program is structured as follows:

Introduction Month

During your first month, you will receive extensive onboarding enablement through a Salesforce-style academy, where you will:

• Become immersed in the culture of Salesforce and gain a deep understanding of our values

• Develop an understanding of our solutions, technologies, and tools

• Learn critical professional skills for your career at Salesforce

• Follow a structured learning calendar with sessions and hands-on workshops led by experts and program alumni

Rotations

During the Graduate Program, you will experience both the Solution Engineering Path and the Sales Path. The structure of each rotation is similar: you will spend 60% of your time immersed in the role with clear tasks, targets, and stakeholder alignment, while the remaining 40% will focus on role-specific learning. You will be paired with experienced buddies in each path.

If your first rotation (months 2 through 4) is in Solution Engineering, you will then join the Sales Graduate Rotation from months 5 through 7, and vice versa. Over these six months, you will gain exposure to both roles. The time spent mastering the fundamentals of these complementary disciplines will enable you to be more productive and impactful upon promotion.

Throughout the rotations, there will be self-paced certifications and skills assessments. You must meet all eligibility criteria before you can panel for promotion.
