The Opportunity

Want to own a portfolio of high-profile Federal Government customers and be the person who turns relationships into growth?

You’ll have the autonomy to run your territory and own the sales cycle end-to-end, while having the support and capability of a broader technology organisation behind you. We’re looking for someone who knows how to win. Someone who is commercially driven, persistent and confident engaging with senior stakeholders — but understands that the best sales relationships are built by creating genuine value for customers. Our government customers typically stay with us for the long term. That’s not by accident. It comes from understanding their challenges, bringing the right solutions to the table and becoming a trusted technology partner. If you’re motivated by new business, big opportunities, senior relationships and the satisfaction of seeing a deal through from first conversation to close, this could be your next move. Based in Canberra or Sydney.

## About You

You’re an established technology sales professional who loves the chase.

- 5+ years' experience in successful technology sales, with a consistent record of achieving or exceeding quota.
- Proven experience building and growing relationships across the Federal Government sector.
- Demonstrated success in new business development and complex solution sales.

- Strong ownership mentality — you manage your pipeline, your relationships and your results.
- A genuine customer-first mindset and the ability to create value beyond simply selling a product.

Desirable experience and skills

- Bachelor’s degree in Sales, Business, Technology or a related discipline.
