Strategic Prime Named Account Executive, Media and Communications Intern

As the market-leading choice for modern business intelligence, our analytics platform makes it easier for people to explore and manage data, and faster to discover and share insights that can change businesses and the world. Everything we do is driven by our mission to help people see and understand data, which is why our products are designed to put the user first—whether they’re an analyst, data scientist, student, teacher, executive, or business user. From connection through collaboration, Tableau is the most powerful, secure, and flexible end-to-end analytics platform.

Our Strategic Prime Enterprise Account Executives engage with existing Media and Communications customers and new leads to sell the entire Tableau platform, including CRMA. They build positive, trusted relationships with both key team members and c-suite decision makers within their patch, and become naturals at helping customers realize value from their Salesforce investments. You will drive the analytics discussion and identify use cases within your accounts.
