About this role
Everpure is seeking an Account Executive to drive sales growth within the State, Local, and Education (SLED) sector, a specialized public sector market. This is a remote, contract position based in Maryland, with a salary range of $130,000 to $208,000, plus potential incentive pay and equity. You'll own a territory focused on modernizing data infrastructure for government and educational institutions, managing the full sales cycle from prospecting through deal closure while meeting quarterly and annual revenue targets.
The role demands deep familiarity with SLED procurement—RFIs, RFPs, contract negotiations, and relationships with Federal system integrators. You'll need to translate Everpure's all-flash storage and data platform capabilities into compelling value propositions for diverse stakeholders, then lead cross-functional pursuit teams (technical experts, product managers, channel partners) to execute account strategies. Success requires a hunter's mindset, strong communication skills that bridge technical and non-technical audiences, and a proven track record of building partnerships and delivering measurable results in complex, multi-stakeholder sales environments.
This role suits someone with established SLED market experience who thrives in strategic, relationship-driven selling and can navigate the slower, more formal procurement cycles of the public sector. If you've closed deals in government or education technology and enjoy orchestrating large internal teams to solve customer problems, this opportunity aligns with a company that's scaling rapidly and investing in employee growth.
