About the Opportunity

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced FirstNet Mission Critical Acquisition Director to join a dynamic team focused on transforming public safety communications. In this role, you will drive the adoption of our client's advanced mission-critical product portfolio among First Responder agencies, working in close partnership with a leading national cellular carrier.

This is an outstanding opportunity to make a meaningful impact by transitioning first responders from legacy Land Mobile Radio (LMR) systems to modern, cellular-based solutions.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop and execute a territory-specific strategy to drive new business acquisition for our client's mission-critical communications solutions.

  • Partner closely with carrier sales teams to support sales growth and strategic initiatives.

  • Act as a subject matter expert on public safety communications, including legacy LMR systems and our client's cellular-based offerings.

  • Build and maintain strong relationships with public safety agencies, carrier partners, and end-user stakeholders.

  • Deliver technical presentations and demonstrations, highlighting the operational and financial benefits of our client's platform.

  • Provide sales and technical support across the company's product line, positioning yourself as a trusted advisor.

  • Support the “build vs. buy” conversation around cellular-based solutions for mission-critical communication.

  • Travel frequently within the assigned territory; manage responsibilities effectively in a remote/home office setup.

Qualifications

  • 3+ years of experience in a sales or engineering role within the Land Mobile Radio (LMR) or public safety communications sector.

  • Proven understanding of LMR system procurement processes at local and regional levels.

  • Demonstrated ability to communicate the operational needs and challenges of public safety agencies.

  • Strong technical acumen related to public safety communication technologies.

  • Exceptional presentation and communication skills; comfortable speaking to medium-sized stakeholder groups.

  • Experience supporting business development efforts in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.

  • Self-motivated, organized, and capable of managing responsibilities independently.

  • Prior experience working with or for a cellular carrier is a plus but not required.

Preferred Attributes

  • Passion for improving communication systems for first responders and public safety.

  • Experience in both technical sales and solution consulting.

  • Ability to collaborate across multiple internal and external teams.

Why Join?

This is a unique opportunity to play a key role in modernizing public safety communications, influencing the direction of a rapidly growing technology segment, and working with a product that truly makes a difference in critical moments.
