• Collaborate across functions - including finance, sales programs, operations, and product to align on goals and inform key decisions
• Partner with teams to standardize definitions, metrics, and reporting frameworks for consistency across the org

• Advanced SQL (Snowflake), dashboarding in Tableau, and data modeling fundamentals
• In-depth knowledge of sales related datasets / metrics e.g. acv, op, pipegen, account, aov, commit, g4g, carving, etc.
• Experience in managing datasets, building reporting layers, and delivering BI solutions that scale
• Ability to translate business questions into structured analysis, and distill complex results into actionable insights

• 3-5 years of experience in data analytics / business intelligence
• Strong business acumen with a passion for data and analytics
• Proven ability to work cross-functionally and influence without authority
• Detail-oriented with the ability to zoom out and think strategically
• A "get-it-done" attitude with the curiosity to explore and improve

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. Any employee or potential employee will be assessed on the basis of merit, competence and qualifications - without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender expression or identity, transgender status, age, disability, veteran or marital status, political viewpoint, or other classifications protected by law. 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.
