  • Work closely with Partnerships team to maximize effectiveness of RapidSOS resellers 
  • Create and maintain a feedback loop from your team into relevant RapidSOS teams to ensure frontline sales feedback is incorporated into RapidSOS’ wider go-to-market strategy
  • Collaborate closely with the VP of Sales and other leaders on critical short-term projects (e.g. product pricing review, key CRM updates) and long term planning (e.g. 2024/2025 planning)
  • Join your team members in representing RapidSOS at conferences, webinars and events

What we’re looking for in our ideal candidate: 

  • 15+ years sales experience, 10 of which focused on SaaS, software, and/or government sales

  • Highly analytical; ability to use various data sources and interpret sales pipeline and KPIs
  • Proven success implementing robust sales training and coaching programs (e.g. MEDDPICC)
  • Track record of celebrating successes and having difficult “low-performance” conversations
  • Experience recruiting, hiring, and onboarding quota-driven team in high-growth environment
  • Comfortable with the iterative change and ambiguity that comes with fast scaling organization
  • Experience in public safety and/or public sector sales is a plus, but not required
