The Company is in search of an Executive Director for SLED (Midwest) to spearhead business development within State, Local Government, and Higher Education organizations. The successful candidate will be tasked with owning and executing a strategic growth plan, building and nurturing executive-level relationships, and driving revenue growth across the public sector market. This role demands a seasoned professional with a minimum of 7 years' experience in selling enterprise software or SaaS solutions to SLED, a consistent record of meeting or exceeding revenue targets, and a strong understanding of public sector purchasing processes. The Executive Director will be responsible for managing complex sales opportunities, collaborating with internal teams to align customer needs with solution capabilities, and representing the organization at various industry events.

A strong network within the Midwest SLED ecosystem and experience with digital transformation initiatives within government agencies are also advantageous. The role is suited to individuals who can thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth environment and are adept at maintaining accurate forecasting and pipeline management to support revenue objectives.
