• 5+ years navigating the full sales cycle - prospecting, qualifying, proposal development, and closing - with demonstrated individual deal ownership
• Proven ability to deliver effective value proposition presentations to enterprise and government or public safety clients
• Outstanding written and verbal communication skills with the ability to translate technical concepts into clear business value for non-technical audiences
• Experience using a CRM system for pipeline management and customer record management
• Ability to coordinate across project stakeholders and work cross-functionally with technical delivery teams
• Ability to travel up to 50%

Nice to Have
