Role Overview:

Nuix builds software that finds the truth in complex, voluminous data. Our platform is used by governments, corporations and law enforcement agencies to investigate, analyze and understand digital information at a scale and speed that no other technology can match. As a Public Sector Sales Executive at Nuix, you will be responsible for growing a significant book of business across your assigned territory, working with organizations that face the most demanding data intelligence, investigative analytics and eDiscovery challenges in the world. This is a full-cycle, platform-focused public sector sales role requiring deep commercial acumen, patience through extended procurement processes and the credibility to engage with technical users and executive decision-makers in the same conversation.

You will operate as a senior individual contributor, owning your territory with a high degree of autonomy. You will be expected to build and sustain a healthy pipeline, orchestrate internal resources across pre-sales, legal and customer success, and close complex, high-value software and SaaS agreements. Success in this role demands a sophisticated understanding of enterprise buying behavior, a consultative approach to uncovering and solving multi-layered business problems, and the discipline to manage long, multi-stakeholder sales cycles through to a consistent and growing outcome.

• Build and maintain executive-level relationships across each target account. Engage decision-makers at every level of the buying organisation, from operational users to C-suite, ensuring Nuix is positioned as a strategic platform partner rather than a point solution.
