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.

Salesforce Professional Services is seeking a Senior Account Partner to join our AMER Public Sector team, focused on US Federal Civilian agencies. Based in the DC Metro area, you'll serve as a trusted advisor and strategic services seller — driving new engagements, expanding existing relationships, and helping Federal Civilian clients modernize mission-critical operations with the Salesforce platform.

This is a quota-carrying, client-facing role that blends consultative selling with deep account ownership. You'll work closely with License AEs, Delivery Architects, and Customer Success Managers to shape and close high-value professional services opportunities.

Your Impact

• Own and grow a portfolio of US Federal Civilian agency accounts, driving professional services pipeline and bookings to quota

• Build trusted relationships with agency executives, program managers, and contracting officials to align Salesforce PS capabilities to mission priorities

• Lead solution scoping conversations, develop Statements of Work (SOWs), and craft compelling services proposals with Delivery Architects

• Partner cross-functionally with the broader Salesforce account team (AEs, SEs, CSMs) to develop and execute coordinated account strategies

• Navigate Federal procurement vehicles and acquisition processes (e.g., GSA Schedules, IDIQs, BPAs, GWACs)

• Maintain accurate pipeline forecasting and opportunity hygiene in Salesforce CRM

• Serve as the voice of the customer internally to drive delivery quality, client satisfaction, and long-term account health

Minimum Requirements

• 8+ years of experience in technology sales, consulting sales, or professional services — with a strong focus on US Federal Civilian agencies

• Demonstrated success selling and closing complex, SOW-based services engagements in a Federal environment

• Deep knowledge of Federal procurement processes, acquisition vehicles, and compliance requirements

• Familiarity with the Salesforce platform and ecosystem (Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Industry Clouds, etc.); prior PS or consulting experience a strong plus

• Executive presence with the ability to build credibility and trust with senior government stakeholders and program leadership

• US citizenship required; active security clearance preferred or ability to obtain

• Ability to travel to client sites across the DC Metro area and occassionally across the United States as needed
