The Experience

Creating a culture of Equality isn't just the right thing to do, it's also the smart thing — that's why at Salesforce, Equality is one of our top values. We are looking for inquisitive individuals with a passion for sales and enabling the public sector, to join our Sales Development team.

We know that great candidates don't always apply to job ads if they don't hit 100% of the criteria, and we don't want to miss out on an opportunity to meet people, like you! Even if you don't tick every box but you're passionate and driven, we'd love to hear from you.

As a Business Development Representative (BDR), you are often the first point of contact for prospective clients. Responsible for generating new business, sourcing, developing and qualifying opportunities through strategic, targeted outreach and working in partnership with our Sales and Marketing team. Our BDR team is the fuel to our revenue engine, and critical to our growth as an organisation.

Curiosity will serve you well as you work with our partners to find the solution to fit our customers' individual needs in what is a complex, innovative environment. Sounds daunting, right? But don't worry, we are invested in your success, and your future, and will enable you with the training and knowledge to be successful, under the guidance of our leaders, your peers and our extended teams.

As this is a sales role, metrics of success are measured on a monthly quota of qualified sourced opportunities and team-closed business; being a self-starter and motivated by a goal will support your success.
