As a hands-on, client-facing leader you will lead your team by example and guide them toward their goals. You will support customer-facing efforts in acquiring and growing the Federal vertical; and facilitate internal efforts to meet the evolving market needs from a security, compliance, functionality, and support perspective. This position will report directly to our Chief Revenue Officer and the ideal candidate will be based on the East Coast, preferably in the Virginia, DC, or Maryland markets.

Communicate strategy and key results to Public Sector team.

Work collaboratively with leadership to recruit top talent across Sales, Customer Success and Operations for the Public Sector team.

Support the development of a healthy, inclusive culture that retains key employees and encourages professional development.

Support the execution of Sales and Customer Success expansion and growth by developing new business relationships in the federal space.

Liaise with Business Development to foster partnerships and teaming efforts to provide attractive offerings as well as enable channel and procurement schedules to maximize availability of the platform.

Qualifications and Experience:

8+ years of experience selling solutions, including SaaS, to Federal clients with a strong track record against quota.

Bachelor’s degree in business, related field or equivalent experience.

Successfully demonstrated the ability to sell SaaS solutions for Federal use cases, including Security.

Strategic leadership experience in a startup or entrepreneurial environment, with exposure and knowledge of different business functions.

Strong decision-making capabilities.

Experience managing and developing Public Sector Sales & Success teams: maximizing their impact on the business and fostering a team culture of collaboration, transparency, inclusiveness, and trust.

Compensation:

This role will have a general base pay range of $175,000.00 to $200,000.00. In addition to the base salary, the role will include a variable Sales Incentive component.
