Public Sector Account Executive - Justice Solutions

Job title: Public Sector Account Executive - Justice Solutions

About the Role

In this role, you will partner with elected officials, justice leaders, and financial stakeholders to understand their priorities and guide them toward technology solutions that deliver impact. You will develop a deep understanding of Tyler’s Justice solutions and competitive strengths, telling a compelling story that resonates with diverse audiences. This position sits at the crossroads of public service, modern technology, and relationship-driven problem solving—helping government leaders better serve their constituents.

What You'll Do

• Lead complex, high-touch sales cycles with local county leaders (CIOs, department heads, elected officials, budget teams) from lead generation to close of sale

• Host or participate in events, demos, or forums where public trust is on the line

• Uncover underlying fears, risks, and blockers from decision-makers and navigate them with tact, not techspeak

• Reposition technology, not as a trend, but as a tool for enhanced public service

• Partner with sales enablement and internal teams to comprehend and tell the story

• Stay ahead of the AI curve without getting lost in the buzzwords

• Assist with the preparation of cost proposals and RFP responses

• Maintain and manage accurate forecasts and activity reports in CRM

• Travel to customer locations and applicable association conferences approximately 50 – 75% of the time

• Territory includes half of the Texas counties below 100,000 population, Oklahoma Counties and Oklahoma Tribal Nations

• What We're Looking For

• Previous experience selling to courts and justice organizations or tenured experience as a county official or subject matter expert is strongly preferred

• Prior experience using a sales CRM system for forecasting and opportunity management

• Experience in public sector software sales and you’ve closed deals that required multiple approvals and a pile of patience

• Know how to read a room, not just run a script

• Believe AI should enhance, not erase, the human side of government

• Have hosted or led public-facing demos, workshops, or presentations (or want to)

• Aren’t afraid of a slow burn and know how to bring stakeholders along over time

• Can take a complex idea and explain it to your aunt, a commissioner, and a room full of analysts (and have them all get it)

• Curious, empathetic, and quietly competitive

• Nice to Have

• Compensation & Benefits

• Base salary: $75k - $90k depending on experience, plus commissions for a total OTE estimated at $150k - $200k

• State-specific salary disclosures may vary by geography

• Competitive benefits focused on health and financial wellness

• Opportunities for growth within a proven gov-tech software leader
