About the role
We’re hiring a Senior Account Executive to drive new business within the public sector pension administration market, owning our largest, most complex net-new opportunities. This role sells our SaaS platform to benefit administrators, with a focus on state, county, and municipal retirement systems — a segment we’re establishing from the ground up.
The Senior Account Executive is a true hunter role: full-cycle ownership of a defined territory of large, complex public pension systems, from prospecting and RFP navigation through executive- and board-level presentations to close, with public sector or SLED sales experience required — ideally in pension or retirement systems.
This is a remote position – east cost based preferred; travel is required for finalist presentations, conferences, and prospective customer visits.
Key Responsibilities
Full-Cycle, Net-New Sales
•
Own the full sales cycle for net-new logos — prospecting, discovery, demos, proposal development, negotiation, and close — within an assigned territory or account list.
•
Build and execute account and territory strategy to generate a robust, qualified pipeline, working closely with the VP of Sales and SDR function.
•
Carry the largest, most complex opportunities in the segment and help shape territory strategy for the broader public sector team.
Public Sector & Procurement
•
Navigate public sector procurement — RFPs/RFIs, competitive bids, sole-source justifications, and state/local contracting rules — to keep deals moving and compliant.
•
Serve as the team’s go-to voice on public sector buyer priorities, competitive dynamics, and procurement nuances.
Relationship & Stakeholder Management
•
Build and maintain relationships with key decision-makers within prospective customer organizations.
•
Lead executive- and board-level engagement with executive directors, CIOs, benefits administrators, and boards of trustees.
•
Lead or support finalist presentations, product demonstrations, reference calls, and proof-of-concept processes, partnering with sales engineering as needed.
Pipeline, Forecasting & Reporting
•
Maintain accurate, disciplined pipeline management and forecasting in the CRM.
•
Report on sales activities, progress, and outcomes to sales leadership.
•
Consistently meet or exceed assigned quota for net-new bookings/ARR.
Collaboration & Team Contribution
•
Collaborate with sales operations, marketing, and customer success to deliver a seamless prospect and customer experience.
•
Share customer and market feedback with the product team to help the SaaS solution evolve.
Requirements
•
7–10+ years of Enterprise SaaS sales experience.
•
Public sector/SLED (state, local, and education) sales experience, ideally in pension administration, retirement systems, or governmental benefits administration — required.
•
Proven ability to prospect, qualify, and close full-cycle deals — a genuine hunter mentality, not solely account management.
•
A proven track record closing complex, long-cycle, multi-stakeholder enterprise deals of significant contract value, and working knowledge of public sector procurement (RFP/RFI processes, competitive bidding, sole-source pathways, state/local contracting requirements).
•
Comfort presenting to and building relationships with senior stakeholders; for the Senior Account Executive level, this extends to boards of trustees, C-level executives, and other senior government stakeholders.
•
Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to tailor a pitch to different audiences.
•
Organizational discipline to manage multiple accounts and CRM hygiene at once.
•
Experience using generative AI tools such as Claude and Copilot to improve productivity and deliver high-quality outcomes.
•
Bachelor’s degree.
