Enterprise Account Executive- Public Sector

If you’ve ever felt like most Enterprise Account Executive roles reward activity more than substance, this role will probably feel different. The type of person we are looking for is someone who focuses on quality—building strong relationships, understanding the client, and creating opportunities that help them solve meaningful problems over time. We are looking for a strategic Enterprise Account Executive with at least 3-5 years of experience, who knows how to sell in the Public Sector space.

You’ll have a quota, but you won’t be pushed to rush deals or move things forward just to hit a number for the quarter. The expectation is that you build trust, understand the problem, and present opportunities that are genuinely worth pursuing.

Because of that, you’ll spend more time early on understanding the landscape, figuring out where you can add value, establishing credibility, and building champions before anything turns into an active opportunity. There’s time to think, room to build relationships properly, and less pressure to push things through just to hit a number. The expectation is that you own your territory, figure out what works, and build something that lasts.

What we’re not looking for is someone who measures success by how many calls they made this week or how quickly they can push a deal through. This wouldn’t be a good fit for someone who needs quarterly recognition or rewards to measure success.

In this role...

You’ll own a Southwest territory and will be responsible for building it from the ground up.

That means identifying which agencies to target, learning how they operate, and deciding where to focus your time. There isn’t a preset list of “go chase these accounts.” You’ll develop your own point of view on where the best opportunities are and on your strategic approach.

A significant part of the job is doing the work most people skip—researching agencies, understanding their structure, learning who is involved in decision-making, and figuring out where there may be real problems to solve.

From there, you’ll start building relationships. Not mass outreach, not generic messaging—actual conversations over time that build familiarity and trust.

We sell to city, county, and state governments. That means understanding and working through procurement processes, RFPs, and multiple layers of stakeholders. Deals take time and require patience, but when they move forward, they tend to be well-developed and durable.
