Description
- Overview
The Global Private Equity & Venture Capital (PE&VC) Practice is one of Salesforce's most strategically significant go-to-market initiatives, engaging the world's leading PE firms, VC funds, and their portfolio companies. As a Solution Engineer in this practice, you will operate at the intersection of financial services expertise, enterprise technology, and executive advisory — working with some of the most sophisticated and fast-moving organizations in the market.
You will partner closely with PE/VC deal teams, portfolio operations leaders, and C-suite executives to demonstrate how Salesforce's platform drives value creation across investment lifecycles — from deal sourcing and portfolio monitoring to portfolio company transformation and exit readiness.
This is not a traditional SE role. It requires deep business acumen, the ability to engage at the board and operating partner level, and the credibility to lead complex, multi-cloud solution narratives in compressed timescales.
What we're looking to fill
We are looking for a Solution Engineer to join the Global PE&VC Practice — a specialized, high-impact team aligned directly to the largest and most strategic PE and VC-backed accounts across the region. We hire based on demonstrated expertise and seniority; this role is suited for candidates with a strong track record in technical pre-sales.
Responsibilities - Serve as the primary technical and strategic advisor to PE/VC firms and their portfolio companies, guiding them through multi-cloud Salesforce solutions that address deal flow management, LP relations, portfolio operations, and revenue growth
- Lead executive-level discovery and value-framing conversations with Managing Directors, Operating Partners, CFOs, and CIOs at leading PE/VC firms
- Design and deliver compelling, highly customized demonstrations and PoCs that map Salesforce capabilities to the specific investment thesis and value creation priorities of each firm
- Drive portfolio company transformation narratives — articulating how Salesforce accelerates EBITDA growth, operational efficiency, and exit readiness across diverse portfolio assets
- Collaborate with the PE/VC Relationship Management team on account strategy, executive relationship mapping, and deal orchestration across complex, multi-stakeholder opportunities
- Orchestrate cross-functional specialist resources (industry SEs, solution architects, Agentforce specialists) around the unique requirements of each PE firm or portfolio engagement
- Develop and maintain deep expertise in Salesforce' solutions (Agentforce, Data360, Sales & Services Cloud, Revenue Cloud, etc.) and how they apply to PE/VC use cases
- Contribute to the practice's thought leadership — co-developing point-of-view assets, demo environments, and enablement content tailored to PE&VC personas
- Represent Salesforce at high-profile PE&VC industry events, roundtables, and executive dinners
- Mentor and enable broader SE community on PE&VC-specific narratives, methodologies, and deal approaches
- Maintain relevant certifications and stay current on Salesforce product innovations and financial services market trends
- Travel as required to engage PE&VC firm headquarters and portfolio company sites across the US.
