Fixed-term contract
Duration: 12 months
Start Date: February 2027

We are thrilled to invite ambitious graduate candidates who would like to build a career in Salesforce to apply for the next cohort of our EMEA Graduate Rotation Program - Sales Path.

This exciting 12-month program is designed to give graduates exposure to both sales and solution engineering. Having built the foundational skills for both roles and met our eligibility criteria, top graduates on this path can begin their Salesforce Sales careers. The promotion window opens from month 7 onwards.

Our graduate program is a fully immersive experience, combining comprehensive learning paths with in-role experience. You will be assigned experienced Sales Development Buddys who will provide hands-on coaching, invite you to join their discovery and qualification calls, giving you the confidence to pick up the phone to reach out to your first salesforce customers. You will also be paired with experienced Solution Engineer Buddies during the SE Rotation who will involve you in their live deals. Throughout the programme, you will gain exposure to senior sales and solution engineering professionals during our inspiration sessions.

By joining Salesforce, you will have the opportunity to lay the foundation for a fast-paced, successful career. We are a proud member of the Fortune 100 Best Places to Work list for the past 14 years and a consistent winner of Great Place to Work awards.

Who are we looking for?

You are a 2025 or 2026 graduate (minimum bachelor’s degree), ideally in Engineering, Computer Science, Mathmatics, Data Analytics or another science discipline. We also welcome graduates from all other academic backgrounds.

What does our EMEA Graduate Program look like?

The program is structured as follows:

Introduction Month

Become immersed in the culture of Salesforce and gain a deep understanding of our values
Develop an understanding of our solutions, technologies, and tools
Learn critical professional skills for your career at Salesforce
Follow a structured learning calendar with sessions and hands-on workshops led by experts and program alumni

Rotations

During the Graduate Program, graduates on both the Sales and Solution Engineering Paths will follow the same curriculum and complete the same rotations. Essentially you will gain exposure to both the Sales and Solution Engineering Roles. The structure of each rotation is similar: you will spend 60% of your time immersed in the role with clear tasks, targets, and stakeholder alignment, while the remaining 40% will focus on role-specific learning. You will be paired with experienced buddies in each path.

If your first rotation (months 2 through 4) is in Sales, you will then join the Solution Engineering Rotation from months 5 through 7, and vice versa. Over these six months, you will have built the fundamental skills for these complementary disciplines. Having gone deeper on your solution knowledge, learning how to demo and having exposure to later stages of the sales cycle during the solution engineering rotation will set you up for sucess as you promote throught the various sales roles - SDR, BDR, AE and beyond.

Throughout the rotations, there will be self-paced certifications and skills assessments. You must meet all eligibility criteria before you can panel for promotion.

Posting Statement

Salesforce is an equal opportunity employer and maintains a policy of non-discrimination with all employees and applicants for employment. What does that mean exactly? It means that at Salesforce, we believe in equality for all. And we believe we can lead the path to equality in part by creating a workplace that’s inclusive, and free from discrimination. Know your rights: workplace discrimination is illegal.

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.
