Job Description
Job Requirements
- 5+ years of consistent quota overachievement in software or technical sales—we're looking for proof, not potential.
- Government sales experience (special districts, municipalities, counties, or public sector)—you understand procurement cycles, multi-stakeholder decisions, and how public agencies buy.
- Complex deal management expertise —you've successfully navigated 6-18-month sales cycles with a wide variety of deals ranging from $10K-$250K ARR.
- Pipeline discipline —you manage forecasts within 10% accuracy and maintain healthy coverage ratios without being told.
- Intellectual curiosity about how things work —you genuinely want to understand district governance, funding mechanisms, and operational challenges (or you're willing to become obsessed with learning).
- Patience with purpose —you recognize that special districts operate on board meeting schedules and budget cycles, and you use longer timelines strategically rather than fighting them.
- Political savvy without the politics —you can read room dynamics, navigate competing board member priorities, and build consensus without getting entangled in local politics.
- Comfort with ambiguity —every district type is different (water ≠ fire ≠ library), and you enjoy figuring out what matters in each context.
- Discovery expertise that uncovers what prospects don't yet know —you ask questions that make people think differently about their challenges.
- Executive presence across all levels —equally comfortable presenting to a 3-person district management team or a 9-member elected board.
- Teaching ability —you can make complex technology accessible to non-technical audiences and connect features to real operational outcomes.
- Demonstration excellence —you've delivered compelling demos to groups of 1-20 or more with varying needs and walked away with clear next steps.
- Technology fluency —you understand SaaS business models, cloud infrastructure, integrations, and security well enough to have credible conversations (you don't need to be an engineer, but you can't be intimidated by technical topics).
- Fast learner —you can absorb product knowledge quickly and translate it into value propositions for different district types.
- Platform thinking —you see how multiple solutions work together rather than selling point products.
- CRM excellence —Salesforce is your system of record, not an administrative burden; your pipeline tells the truth.
- Activity consistency —you hit daily and weekly metrics because you understand they're leading indicators, not bureaucracy.
- Territory planning —you approach your market strategically, prioritizing high-value districts and building systematic coverage.
- Coachability —you seek feedback, implement it quickly, and continuously refine your approach.
- Mission alignment —you respect public service and find satisfaction in helping districts serve their communities more effectively.
- Entrepreneurial drive —you're building something new and take ownership like it's your business.
- Relationship builder —you establish trust quickly and maintain it through follow-through and integrity.
- Resilience —you handle 'not right now' without losing momentum and see long sales cycles as relationship-building opportunities rather than obstacles.
