POSITION TITLE: Summer 2026 Intern - Sales Strategy and Operations

POSSIBLE LOCATION Option(s): NYC, Chicago

TEAM DESCRIPTION:

The Sales Strategy team is the driving force behind operational, strategic, and tactical execution for the business. We are trusted strategic advisors that partner with our Sales Leaders to execute strategic initiatives, build business cases, and drive revenue growth. Our team deploys a mix of strategy, operations, and analytics to deliver exceptional service to our business partners with focus on fostering growth, enhancing productivity, and driving profitability. We sit at the intersection of the most pressing issues for the business and serve as “strategic coaches” to our Sales Leaders. We support the Sales teams in setting the right goals and ensuring they have the tools to achieve them. The pace and environment feel more like a start-up than a big corporation. Our team includes a diverse mix of consulting, finance, STEM, and tech backgrounds. We strongly believe diversity in background and thought is crucial to our team's success. We are looking for someone who is data-driven, naturally curious, and eager to work on innovative solutions to challenging business problems.

A successful candidate will have a relentless curiosity and a passion for creating innovative analysis, and the flexibility to identify and execute on opportunities. An ideal candidate will also be comfortable working with sales stakeholders, must be a team player, able to manage multiple priorities, and deal with ambiguity.

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

You will help drive the continued success of our Sales Leaders by supporting our growth strategy, making data-driven decisions to support the business, and building strong cross-functional partnerships.

QUALIFICATIONS:

• You are a current Junior (rising Senior), graduating May 2027, pursuing a Bachelor's degree; Business, Economics or STEM backgrounds are a plus but not required

• You are a self-starter and have a bias towards ownership and action (i.e., going beyond the task at hand)

• You are solutions-oriented and passionate about solving problems using data

• You have strong interpersonal skills and will enjoy working collaboratively with other teams

• Strong Excel/Google Sheets modeling skills

• PowerPoint / Google slide presentation building skills

• Able to work independently and as part of a team in a fast-paced, rapid change environment

• Ability to succeed in a collaborative, start-up paced environment

• Complex and creative problem-solving ability

• A team player, with a willingness to go above and beyond to deliver excellence

• Intellectually curious, detail-oriented, and driven to make an impact on the business

NICE-TO-HAVE, BUT NOT ESSENTIAL:

• Previous internship experience a plus

• SQL experience a plus

• Experience with data visualization (e.g., Tableau) a plus

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.

In the United States, compensation offered will be determined by factors such as location, job level, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. Certain roles may be eligible for incentive compensation, equity, and benefits. Salesforce offers a variety of benefits to help you live well including: time off programs, medical, dental, vision, mental health support, paid parental leave, life and disability insurance, 401(k), and an employee stock purchasing program.
