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.
Everyone who wants to change the world should have the tools and technology to do so. Technology is the most powerful equalizer of our time, providing access to data, knowledge, and-above all-connections. Salesforce for Nonprofits gets our technology in the hands of nonprofits so they can connect with others and do more good. As a social enterprise, the more missions our technology supports, the more we invest back into technology and communities, creating an endless circle of good.
Salesforce for Nonprofits is committed to and focused on increasing the innovation and efficiency of nonprofit organizations. To achieve this goal, we are building an enterprise to deliver Salesforce's world-class CRM and technology platform solutions to the non-profit market.

Prior experience with technology and enterprise selling in the NGO space is highly desirable. Excellent communication and presentation skills are a must.
