Who is Salesforce?

We're Salesforce, the Customer Company, inspiring the future of business with AI + Data + CRM. Leading with our core values, we help companies across every industry blaze new trails and connect with customers in a whole new way. And, we empower you to be a Trailblazer, too - driving your performance and career growth, charting new paths, and improving the state of the world. If you believe in business as the greatest platform for change and in companies doing well and doing good - you've come to the right place.

Selling into the Banking Sector

The Banking and Financial Services sector is undergoing a seismic shift as institutions move from product-centric models to customer-obsessed experiences. Selling at the enterprise level in this industry requires a sophisticated understanding of complex regulatory landscapes, deep-rooted legacy infrastructures, and the urgent need for digital agility. You will navigate high-level stakeholder environments, addressing the dual priorities of maintaining ironclad security and trust while delivering the seamless, "Amazon-like" experiences that modern retail and institutional banking customers now demand.

The opportunity is immense: you aren't just selling software; you are acting as a strategic partner to help major financial institutions redefine their value proposition. This involves orchestrating massive digital transformation projects that impact millions of consumers, helping banks unlock siloed data to provide proactive financial wellness, smarter lending, and hyper-personalized service.

Salesforce in Banking

Salesforce is the engine behind the modern financial services revolution. Our Financial Services Cloud, powered by Data Cloud and Einstein AI, allows banks to unify their customer data into a single, actionable "Golden Profile." We enable institutions to move away from fragmented systems toward a unified platform where AI-driven insights empower every banker, teller, and relationship manager to anticipate customer needs before they are even voiced.

By integrating AI + Data + CRM, Salesforce helps the banking sector automate complex workflows, reduce operational friction, and drive loyalty in an increasingly competitive market. Our impact is measured in the accelerated speed of mortgage approvals, the precision of fraud detection, and the depth of the human connection maintained across digital channels. Joining Salesforce means positioning yourself at the heart of the most influential technology shift in the history of Australian finance.
