Senior Account Executive - Public Sector
The posting
About the role
Microsoft 365 has become the dominant collaboration platform across Government and Education in Australia. The problem is that it’s inherently driven by the business users. Where information is created, how it’s created, who it gets shared with, how long it remains relevant, and how valuable it is all becomes impossible to manage at scale. Factor AI into the mix, and it can rapidly expose sensitive data and contribute to the rising cost of storage.
It’s a problem all agencies and institutions are looking to solve.
As the Enterprise Account Executive, you are responsible for helping these agencies realise the value of the AvePoint Confidence platform to solve these core problems. You will create, qualify, pitch and close all new revenue from organisations upwards of 2000 employees into Australian Public Sector and Education and manage a portfolio of existing organisations .
Using an account team, it is expected that you will build positive relationships and ensure the successful acquisition of our software to solve our customers’ business problems .
An Enterprise Account Executive’s role is to grow the AvePoint customer base through the development and execution of GTM motions in line with market trends. You will work both directly with and through our channel partners to solve customer problems by leveraging the AvePoint Confidence platform. Additionally, you will be required to maintain (renew) and grow (upsell + cross sell) a group of existing AvePoint customers.
