Why This Opportunity?

The Role:

As an Account Executive, you'll be responsible for managing the full sales cycle from prospecting through to close.

Working within State and Local Government, you'll engage with senior stakeholders, uncover operational challenges and position the platform as a critical solution for communication, stakeholder engagement and cross-agency collaboration.

You'll be supported by leadership, industry consultants and an organisation that is investing heavily in growth across the public sector market.

Highly Desirable

• Experience selling workflow, collaboration, CRM, communications or operational software
• GovTech experience
• Familiarity with government procurement processes
• Experience selling solutions that require strategic problem solving rather than transactional sales

• $240,000 - $260,000 OTE
• Uncapped Commission Structure
