This is an opportunity to lead enterprise sales within the Canadian Federal Government market for a leading identity security solution. You will own a strategic territory, develop relationships with senior business and technical stakeholders, and build a sustainable pipeline of opportunities. The role combines consultative selling, account strategy, partner engagement, and competitive positioning. You will coordinate a virtual team spanning sales engineering, professional services, marketing, channel partners, and customer success. Success requires both strategic planning and hands-on execution throughout the full sales cycle. With significant autonomy and visibility, you will help expand adoption of identity security solutions across government organizations.

Develop and execute territory, account, and opportunity plans aligned with revenue objectives and customer priorities.
Build and maintain strong relationships with customers, prospects, partners, influencers, and senior decision-makers across business and technical functions.
Lead discovery conversations, understand customer requirements, qualify opportunities, and communicate tailored solutions and value propositions.
Position solutions effectively against competitive offerings, including Microsoft, Okta, and Saviynt, while articulating the broader value of partner services.
Coordinate and lead virtual teams of sales engineers, partner managers, professional services, deal desk, marketing, business value, and customer success resources.
Work collaboratively with channel partners to develop joint account strategies, marketing activities, pipeline, and customer engagement plans.
Maintain accurate forecasts, opportunity data, activity records, relationship maps, and pipeline information in Salesforce and other sales-management tools.
Develop account plans for priority customers and identify opportunities to expand existing relationships and increase customer value.
Establish a focused portfolio of priority accounts, including high-potential strategic opportunities, and develop actionable engagement strategies for each.
Present territory plans, forecasts, pipeline strategies, and business recommendations to sales leadership.
Maintain an active pipeline and continuously refine go-to-market strategies, messaging, competitive positioning, and partner engagement approaches.
Lead a consistent operating cadence with internal and partner resources to ensure accountability and progress across opportunities.
