Public Safety Account Executive

Equifax • Louisville, MO

5d • $86,000 - $105,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

Equifax is where you can power your possible. If you want to achieve your true potential, chart new paths, develop new skills, collaborate with bright minds, and make a meaningful impact, we want to hear from you. The Public Safety Account Executive will be responsible for strategic relationship management and development to drive revenue growth for an assigned book of business targeting State and Local Government, Law Enforcement, and Public Safety agencies. This is not a traditional sales role; it is a strategic consulting position for a creative problem-solver. In this role, you won’t just be selling a product—often, your public sector customers already want the solution. Your challenge is to act as a trusted partner to help them navigate the complex path to procurement. You will identify agency-specific problems, map our solutions to those needs, and strategically engineer the financial and budgetary pathways (grants, budget cycles, creative funding) required to get the deal across the finish line. This role demands a curious, hungry, and strategic thinker capable of navigating complex government landscapes and funding mechanisms. This position is based in Louisville (hybrid Tuesday–Thursday); however, remote work may be considered for the right candidate
