REQUIREMENTS
Our ideal candidate is someone who has sold to State and Local Government agencies with measurable success for about 3 years. It would be even better if you have sold without using an RFP. We are also looking for someone who is energetic and likes to start sales from scratch and grow them to multi-million dollar accounts. The need for our solution is high so, someone who can manage the sales process with multiple clients would do well. Time management is going to be key as you are going to be meeting with State and Local decision makers every week. This position may work out of an office or from home requiring the person to be very self-motivated.


Think you have what it takes? If your performance is top notch, you may just end up leading this division. 70% of CareerBuilder is in sales and we offer unlimited potential for professional development and career advancement/promotion. Nearly 40% of our Enterprise account executives were promoted last year! This is an opportunity that you cannot afford to miss!
