Government Account Executive

Wonderschool, San Francisco, CA, USA

Pay: $100,000-$200,000/yr

Job type: Full Time


About the Role
We are building our government sales team and are interested in connecting with experienced Government Account Executives across a range of levels. This is not an urgent or time-sensitive search. We are interviewing on a rolling basis and will move at a thoughtful pace, so please expect that we may be a bit slower to respond as we find the right fit.

This is an individual contributor role. You will report to a senior sales executive who oversees multiple territories. If you are more senior, there is room to take on additional territories and work directly with the CEO. We are open to hearing from candidates at different experience levels.

Navigate complex, multi-stakeholder, 12+ month sales cycles

Build relationships with legislators, agency leaders, and executive administration stakeholders

Develop territory strategies aligned to legislative, budget, and election cycles

Lead RFP responses and procurement processes

Travel approximately 40% of the time, as relationships are the core of this work and being in the room matters

What We Are Looking For

Experience selling to state governments and an understanding of how state agencies buy, budget, and make decisions

A demonstrated track record of closing deals in complex B2G or enterprise environments

The ability to operate independently and own your pipeline from first contact through close

Deep understanding of procurement processes, RFP cycles, and legislative dynamics

Strong strategic thinking with the ability to align value propositions to political and programmatic priorities

CRM discipline and forecasting rigor

Compensation

Base salary: $100,000 to $200,000, varies by level and scope

Performance-based commission

Stock options

Health coverage (up to 100% for employee premiums, up to 80% for dependents)

Flexible PTO, paid holidays, and mental wellness days

Parental leave (eligible after 6 months)
