As a Corporate Account Executive, Public Sector, you will be responsible for identifying, developing, and closing new business opportunities across government, healthcare, education, and other public sector organisations. You will manage the full sales cycle while building trusted relationships with procurement, business, and technical stakeholders.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Creating, validating, and executing a territory plan that outlines how you will achieve your revenue targets and expand AvePoint's presence within the public sector.
• Driving new logo acquisition and developing strategic opportunities within assigned public sector accounts.
• Building and managing sales opportunities through public procurement frameworks, tenders, direct awards, and partner-led routes to market.
• Managing complex sales cycles involving multiple stakeholders, including procurement teams, IT leadership, information governance, security, records management, and executive sponsors.
• Positioning AvePoint's platform solutions to address public sector priorities around digital transformation, cyber resilience, AI adoption, compliance, and modern workplace initiatives.
• Delivering compelling presentations, workshops, and business value discussions that demonstrate measurable outcomes and return on investment.
• Partnering closely with pre-sales, customer success, marketing, channel partners, and leadership teams to win new business.
• Developing and maintaining relationships with framework providers, resellers, system integrators, and strategic alliance partners.

OK, I'm interested... is this the job for me? We are looking for people who value agility, passion, accountability, and teamwork; people who bring fresh ideas and want the opportunity to learn, grow, and build a successful career. In this role, you will focus on winning new business while helping public sector organisations solve complex challenges around collaboration, governance, security, compliance, cloud transformation, and AI readiness.

You are commercially driven, self-motivated, and strategic in your approach. You understand how public sector organisations buy technology and can identify emerging priorities, funding opportunities, and market trends, translating them into actionable account and territory plans. If you enjoy consultative selling, building long-term customer relationships, collaborating with partners, and helping organisations achieve meaningful outcomes through technology, then AvePoint is the place for you.
