About The Position

Salesforce is the #1 AI CRM, where humans with agents drive customer success together. 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. Data Foundation is Salesforce's enterprise data and integration business, built on two industry-leading products: MuleSoft, the world's #1 integration platform, and Informatica, the enterprise standard for data management, governance, and Master Data Management (MDM). As a Business Development Representative (BDR) on the Data Foundation team, you will own outbound pipeline generation aligned to either MuleSoft or Informatica, partnering directly with an Account Executive (AE) to drive growth across a range of account sizes and industries. This role offers a clear path to becoming a Data Foundation Account Executive carrying quota across both product lines.
