Thoughtfulness and integrity are also critical to success. This role will require significant travel to conferences, customer onsites, and more. • Core Responsibilities: • Full-Cycle Sales • Own every stage of the cycle: outbound, discovery, demo, pilot, procurement, negotiation, and close, post-close touchpoints. • Co-lead pilots and POCs that convert frontline users into champions. • Manage CRM hygiene, deal documentation, and transparent communications. • Pipeline Generation • Generate your own pipeline through outbound, conferences, referrals, and relationships in the law enforcement community. • Build and maintain a trusted group of decision-makers across police departments, sheriffs' offices, prosecutors’ offices, and federal LEOs. • Identify and prioritize the agencies most likely to benefit from Closure. • Public Sector Navigation • Navigate the realities of agency buying: RFPs, sole-source justifications, cooperative purchasing vehicles, grant cycles, competing priorities, and security reviews. • GTM Foundation • Help define positioning, pricing, and sales motion as the company scales. • Bring the voice of the customer back to product and engineering—the roadmap will be shaped by what you hear in the field. • Represent Closure at conferences nationwide (IACP, major chiefs and sheriffs associations, and regional conferences About You • Mission-Driven: You're excited to contribute to public safety and improving the effectiveness of U.S. law enforcement and prosecutors. • Owner Mentality: You take responsibility naturally, don't wait for leads to be handed to you, and feel uncomfortable when a deal is slipping or a follow-up is overdue. • Comfort with Ambiguity: You thrive in early-stage environments where the playbook doesn't exist yet. • High-Execution: You generate your own pipeline, run a tight cycle, and close. You've hit or exceeded quota in complex B2B or B2G sales. • Strong Communicator: You can hold your own with a chief, a CIO, and a line detective in the same meeting—and write the follow-up email that moves the deal forward. • Low-Ego, High-Standards: You're happy to do the "unsexy" work—procurement paperwork, security questionnaires, Saturday follow-ups—if it moves the company forward. Prior experience in law enforcement, federal agencies, or prosecutors' offices is a plus—as is experience selling into those buyers—but not required if you're exceptional.
