  • Build sales analysis for insight into weekly, monthly and quarterly execution and strategies
  • Attend weekly regional forecast and management calls to provide Inside Sales perspective
  • Build a cohesive sales & business plan outlining the roadmap to success and define measurable goals enabling you to measure progress
  • Work closely with other District Sales Managers on crafting business strategy to accomplish company goals
  • Required to stay knowledgeable and up-to-date on product roadmap, industry changes, and competitive landscapes
Qualifications


Your Experience

  • Proven track record of individual sales success and strong sales management, together at a min of 15+ years - Preferably experience handling quotas carrying sales team
  • Extensive public sector sales experience, preferably in the IT industry
  • Established network and adept at cultivating executive-level relationships, particularly within the public sector (e.g. federal level, Bundesbehörden)
