About the Team

Join Zoom's Public Sector sales organization, where we partner with State, Local, and Education (SLED) institutions to modernize how they collaborate, communicate, and connect.

What You'll Do

  • Own and grow a defined territory of Higher Education accounts across Florida, driving net-new logo acquisition while expanding and retaining existing relationships
  • Engage C-suite and senior IT stakeholders, including CIOs, IT Directors, and Provosts, to understand institutional challenges and position Zoom as the strategic solution

  • Develop and present proposals, quotes, and Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs) that clearly articulate business value and ROI
  • Apply consultative, value-based selling techniques, including effective objection handling, to guide opportunities from discovery through close
  • Collaborate with sales leadership to deliver accurate forecasts, surface emerging trends, and recommend strategies to accelerate growth
  • Sell the full Zoom UCaaS portfolio, including Meetings, Phone, Contact Center, and AI-powered collaboration tools, to meet or exceed assigned revenue targets

What We're Looking For

  • Proven track record in B2B or public sector SaaS/UCaaS sales, ideally within Higher Education or SLED markets
  • Experience engaging executive-level buyers and navigating institutional procurement processes (RFPs, state contracts, cooperative purchasing)
  • Strong pipeline management discipline and CRM hygiene (Salesforce preferred)
  • Excellent communication, presentation, and negotiation skills
  • Self-starter mentality with the ability to thrive in a remote, quota-carrying role
  • Familiarity with Florida's higher education landscape (State University System, Florida College System) is a strong plus
