Navigate complex procurement: Understand public sector budget calendars, funding sources, approval requirements, and purchasing pathways. Coordinate RFP responses and work with procurement teams, resellers, and partners to move agreements forward. Develop champions and alignment: Build support across stakeholder groups and guide opportunities through IT, security, procurement, and legal reviews. Manage deals with discipline: Run each opportunity like a project, coordinating customer stakeholders and internal teams through extended sales cycles. Maintain clear next steps, accurate forecasts, and strong CRM discipline. Get in front of customers: Visit customers in person to understand operational realities and build relationships. Expect to travel approximately twice per month.
