About the Role:
Northwoods is hiring Senior Account Executive to drive new logo acquisition across state and county government agencies, with some responsibility for converting existing customers from Northwoods' legacy system to its modern SaaS platform. Both positions report into the newly hired VP of Sales and are being built as the core of a rebuilt sales team.
The role is remote.
The Role:
- Carry an annual quota of approximately $1M, with bookings split roughly 60/40 between SaaS and labor/services revenue
- Focus primarily on net-new logo acquisition within state and county government agencies
- Support limited back-to-base activity, converting existing customers off Northwoods' legacy system onto its modern SaaS platform
- Operate with a 3–6 month ramp period before being expected to have an established pipeline
- Bring an existing book of business and contacts in the target vertical; this is not an entry-level position
Responsibilities:
- Own and deliver against an individual revenue quota driven primarily by new government/SLED customer acquisition
- Build and manage a qualified pipeline within the assigned vertical and geography
- Run the full sales cycle for public-sector deals, from prospecting through close
- Identify and convert legacy-system customers to Northwoods' modern SaaS offering where opportunities arise
- Work closely with the VP of Sales to establish territory and account coverage as the sales organization is rebuilt
Qualification for Success:
- Proven experience selling into government or SLED (state and local government/education) accounts — required
- Background in technology/SaaS sales — required;
- Established book of business and contacts within the government/SLED space;
- Experience in human services, Medicaid, child welfare, or related HHS programs — preferred
- Comfort operating in a remote, self-directed role with regular travel within an assigned region
Compensation Range - 230K - 250K USD OTE
