About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own and build out Fieldguide's public sector territory, starting with a federal focus and expanding into state, local, and higher education over time.

Achieve and exceed revenue targets and key sales metrics.

Collaborate cross-functionally with teams including Solutions, Finance, Product, and Marketing to ensure customer needs and expectations are met throughout the sales process.

Deep understanding of the public sector buying environment, including federal, state, local, and higher education.
5+ years of sales experience as an Account Executive, with a focus on net new logos and a proven track record of exceeding quota.
Experience selling complex software solutions that drive organization-wide transformation, managing complex, multithreaded sales processes involving stakeholders from executives to day-to-day product users.

Strong project management skills, with the ability to coordinate stakeholders and drive large, complex deals across the finish line.
Capacity to engage deeply and broadly across an account, including executives, practitioners, and technical teams, to influence stakeholders and drive meaningful change.
Team player who collaborates effectively across internal teams (Solutions, BDRs, Finance, Product, Marketing, Customer Success, etc.).
