• Build and execute account and territory strategy to generate a robust, qualified pipeline, working closely with the VP of Sales and SDR function
• Carry the largest, most complex opportunities in the segment and help shape territory strategy for the broader public sector team
• Navigate public sector procurement — RFPs/RFIs, competitive bids, sole-source justifications, and state/local contracting rules — to keep deals moving and compliant
• Serve as the team's go-to voice on public sector buyer priorities, competitive dynamics, and procurement nuances
• Build and maintain relationships with key decision-makers within prospective customer organizations
• Lead executive- and board-level engagement with executive directors, CIOs, benefits administrators, and boards of trustees
• Lead or support finalist presentations, product demonstrations, reference calls, and proof-of-concept processes, partnering with sales engineering as needed

• Consistently meet or exceed assigned quota for net-new bookings/ARR
• Collaborate with sales operations, marketing, and customer success to deliver a seamless prospect and customer experience
• Share customer and market feedback with the product team to help the SaaS solution evolve

Skills

• 7–10+ years of Enterprise SaaS sales experience
• Public sector/SLED (state, local, and education) sales experience, ideally in pension administration, retirement systems, or governmental benefits administration — required
• Proven ability to prospect, qualify, and close full-cycle deals — a genuine hunter mentality, not solely account management
• A proven track record closing complex, long-cycle, multi-stakeholder enterprise deals of significant contract value, and working knowledge of public sector procurement (RFP/RFI processes, competitive bidding, sole-source pathways, state/local contracting requirements)
• Comfort presenting to and building relationships with senior stakeholders; for the Senior Account Executive level, this extends to boards of trustees, C-level executives, and other senior government stakeholders
• Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to tailor a pitch to different audiences
• Organizational discipline to manage multiple accounts and CRM hygiene at once
• Experience using generative AI tools such as Claude and Copilot to improve productivity and deliver high-quality outcomes
• Bachelor's degree

Benefits

• Remote position; East Coast based preferred
