Prior experience selling into the public sector required; experience in public safety (law enforcement, emergency management, justice/courts, homeland security) strongly preferred

Proven experience building and scaling a channel/partner ecosystem from the ground up or significantly growing an existing one

Strong understanding of government procurement processes, RFPs, and public sector buying cycles
