About GovSense

GovSense is a true-cloud Government Resource Planning (GRP) platform built on Oracle NetSuite for cities, counties, and special districts. Finance, budgeting, utility billing, procurement, and project management all live in one connected system, and our implementations get jurisdictions live in weeks, not years.

We have grown every year since 2015 and have been named to the Government Technology GovTech 100 four years running. GovSense is headquartered in Alpharetta, Georgia.

Who You Are

·      You speak fluent local government. You know the difference between a Finance Director and a City Manager, and why both need to be in the room.

·      You see an RFP as a game plan, not paperwork.

·      You are competitive about hitting your number and generous about sharing the win.

·      You can walk a council chamber through a solution without losing anyone at “cloud.”

·      You are patient with long sales cycles and relentless about moving them forward.

A Team Player, Through and Through

At GovSense, deals are won by a team. You will work side by side with Marketing, Professional Services, and Leadership on every opportunity, from the first conversation to the signed contract. You share what you hear from the market, you ask for help when it makes the deal stronger, and you show up for your teammates when they need you. Lone wolves need not apply. Pack players, please do.

What You Will Do

·      Own your number. Meet or exceed your sales quota for the GovSense platform.

·      Build real relationships. Earn the trust of finance directors, clerks, city managers, and elected officials, and keep it long after the contract is signed.

·      Partnerships – you understand the value of Partnerships and work diligently to support/grow those relationships

·      Run the long game. Manage complex public-sector sales cycles from first conversation through procurement and contract signing.

·      Win the RFP. Partner with the team on RFP responses, demos, and orals that make the decision easy.

·      Get out there. Travel to local and national conferences, trade shows, and onsite demos.

·      Know the market. Stay sharp on local government trends, GovSense solutions, and the competitive landscape.

Your AI Advantage

The best sellers we know already have an AI co-pilot riding shotgun. Use it to research a county before a call, sharpen a proposal, or prep for a tough council question. If you are already doing this, we want to hear your tricks. If you are curious and ready to learn, we will hand you the keys. AI is part of how GovSense works every day, and we want a seller who is excited to grow with it.
