Enterprise Hunter Account Executive, State and Local
About The Position
As a State & Local Government (SLG) Account Executive, you own a dedicated geographic territory and are responsible for originating, advancing, and closing complex enterprise deals within government agencies that operate under statutory procurement frameworks, multi-layered buying committees, and extended decision timelines. Success in this role is not primarily a function of relationship volume or activity count. It is a result of deep domain fluency, process-aware strategy, and the ability to navigate institutional complexity over extended periods of time. You will operate as a trusted peer to career government leaders, not as a vendor waiting to be pulled forward. You know how to sell innovation and change through the art of the possible and can guide deals forward to compress decision cycles. Along with the chance to close exciting deals, we also offer accelerators above 100% quota attainment.
