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.

We’re currently recruiting for an Enterprise Account Executive who’ll be responsible for driving sales revenue and maintaining relationships with specified customers within our public sector segment in Victoria.

This includes understanding public sector opportunities, customer business priorities (such as regulatory changes or government initiatives), and long-term procurement cycles. The AE will position our outstanding product capabilities and unique value proposition for government entities.

• Meet and exceed sales goals (quotas) through prospecting, qualifying, managing, and closing sales opportunities within the assigned territory.

• Lead and leverage a matrix account team of Sales Consultants, Business Development Representatives, Services Practice Managers, Marketing, Inside Sales Support, and Customer Success Professionals to develop and manage the sales pipeline and enhance customer relationships and value.

• Drive customer success by developing a deep understanding of public sector challenges, including budget constraints, regulatory requirements, and evolving government policies. The AE will stay ahead of competitive issues and demonstrate how our solutions meet these challenges.

• Practice effective and excellent communication with leadership, customers, extended teams, and partners, ensuring alignment with public sector needs and priorities.

• Participate in team-building and company-growth activities such as strategic planning, sales training, customer marketing efforts, and customer care.

• Travel to customer locations in support of sales efforts, particularly within the Victorian public sector.
