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.

Overview of the Role

Are you ready to shape the digital future of automotive? As a Solution Engineer, you'll guide one of our most strategic automotive customers through their transformation journey — acting as a trusted technical advisor and strategic co-pilot to your Account Executive, turning business strategy into high-impact Salesforce solutions.

Why This Work Matters

Automotive customers are making high-leverage decisions about how they grow and serve their own customers. Your thought leadership and "Connected Vision" will directly shape the digital future of a world-leading manufacturer.

What Success Looks Like

Success is when a C-level executive feels understood, sees a future they want to move towards, and takes the next step — not just because you explained the technology, but because you helped them act on it.

What You'll Do

Advise Strategically: Co-create account strategy and own the technology vision alongside your Account Executive.
Build C-Level Trust: Become the go-to advisor for CIO/CTO/CDO contacts navigating transformation.
Lead the Solution Cycle: Drive engagements end-to-end — from discovery through close — with the extended account team.
Deliver the Vision: Build customized demos, ROI business cases, architectural concepts, and executive presentations.
Win Together: Lead RFP strategy and represent Salesforce at industry and partner events.
Elevate the Team: Mentor peers and share expertise to raise the bar across Solution Engineering.

The Mindset We're Looking For

An inquisitive, out-of-the-box thinker who gets energy from translating complex technology into clear business outcomes. You're curious about AI, passionate about the automotive industry, and love sharing what you know.

Required Qualifications

5+ years in Enterprise B2B Sales/Presales.
Deep Automotive/Manufacturing industry knowledge with a digital transformation track record.
Ability to translate technical features into executive-level business value.
Strong communication and executive presence.
Native-level German (C2) and professional English.
Based in or around Munich or Frankfurt, Germany; travel required.

Preferred Qualifications

Direct experience working within Manufacturing or Automotive.
Hands-on with SaaS and AI Agent Platforms.
Salesforce ecosystem knowledge, especially Automotive Industry Cloud and Agentforce.
Familiarity with Digital Operating Models, design thinking, and cloud architecture.
Experience with European data sovereignty and enterprise AI compliance.

Why This Team & How We Help You Grow

You'll work in a collaborative, matrix-style org where curiosity and initiative drive everything. We'll help you grow your knowledge in emerging tech, Automotive Industry Cloud, and Agentforce — while you bring the presales and automotive expertise.

A Note from the Hiring Manager

We challenge ideas, not people — and I invest in your growth. If you're fluent in Salesforce's impact and ready to co-create real enterprise change, I'd love to talk.

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.

This policy applies to current and prospective employees, no matter where they are in their Salesforce employment journey. It also applies to recruiting, hiring, job assignment, compensation, promotion, benefits, training, assessment of job performance, discipline, termination, and everything in between. Recruiting, hiring, and promotion decisions at Salesforce are fair and based on merit. The same goes for compensation, benefits, promotions, transfers, reduction in workforce, recall, training, and education.
