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.

Data is redefining how governments serve citizens — and Tableau is at the centre of that transformation. This is a rare opportunity to lead Salesforce’s Tableau Public Sector business across Australia and New Zealand, shaping how government organisations use AI‑powered analytics to make smarter, faster, and more transparent decisions. If you are a senior sales leader with deep analytics platform expertise, this role puts you at the forefront of market‑defining change.

About Salesforce and Tableau

Salesforce is the world’s #1 CRM and a trusted partner to governments and enterprises globally. Within Salesforce, Tableau plays a critical role in helping organisations see, understand, and act on their data — turning complexity into clarity and insight into action.

With the evolution of Tableau and Tableau Plus,  the platform now brings together AI‑powered analytics, advanced visualisation, and deeper integration across the Salesforce ecosystem. This next chapter of Tableau enables public sector organisations to move beyond reporting to predictive insight, embedded analytics, and collaborative, data‑driven decision‑making at scale.

Across Australia and New Zealand, government, public sector and education agencies are investing heavily in digital transformation. Data and analytics are no longer optional — they are foundational to improving citizen services, policy outcomes, and operational efficiency.
