We are a software-focused IT solutions and services provider that equips organizations to be agile and innovative, and for their people to be engaged, connected, and creative at work. That means moving them to the cloud, helping them build the workplace of tomorrow, and enabling them to make smarter decisions about their technology. By doing these things we help them create success for their customers and their people. 

We stand proudly for our people and support their success through career development and advancement. We are recognized and respected for our culture of inclusion and belonging, continuously striving to do what’s good for our people and communities. 
 

The impact you will have:

Challenging our customers to do more.  

Your customers are smarter and more self-sufficient than ever, and the services you once sold are being commoditized. What do you do?  Well, if you’re working with Softchoice — one of the fastest-growing technology solutions providers in North America — you change the game. And you do it today.  

As Softchoice’s Public Sector District Sales Leader, your job is to create opportunity in a rapidly changing industry, taking back control of the sales conversation and delivering customer experiences that build true loyalty. With an ambitious growth target in Softchoice’s sights, you play an instrumental role in building the team, capacity and differentiated services to get us there.

Your job is to build that team, crystallizing their focus on business outcomes and empowering them to go against the grain and inspire our customers to do what is best.  

• Active Leadership: Your time is divided between fostering fruitful relationships with partners to increase growth, and showing leadership as an involved, energetic mentor to your team. You show by your actions that the most important thing isn’t your own success — but that of your employees, your partners and your customers.  

• Growth and Loyalty: You hit ambitious sales targets and ensure we are delivering excellent customer experiences, to drive growth and loyalty in your district. From procurement, to professional services, you deliver Softchoice’s wide range of solutions and assessments as customized offerings, to wow customers and maximize returns.  

What you'll bring to the table:

• 5+ years in Public Sector sales - Leadership experience required

• Strong public sector, or enterprise level experience, selling a breadth of services and solutions.  

• Experience in the municipal space would be an asset.

• Expereince selling Microsoft products/soultions would be an asset. 

• Track record of having significant impact on customers and a history of increasing responsibilities. 

• An insatiable curiosity and drive to learn about your customers, your industry and your team. 

• Exceptional communications skills, written and verbal, enabling you to teach the customer, tailor insights and take control of the sale  

• Highschool diploma or equivalent, preferred.
