Learn more at edilex.com . This role exists because Ontario s public sector market is ready and Edilex needs a full-cycle seller who can own it. You ll inherit a warm brand, a product that solves a real and recognized problem, and a pipeline that an SDR is actively building

• your job is to take qualified opportunities across the finish line and go find more. If you re energized by mission-driven sales, know how to move a complex deal through a public procurement cycle, and want to own a territory rather than work one, this is the role. What You ll Do Territory Ownership You own Ontario. Your accounts are mapped, prioritized, and actively worked
• not just tracked in a spreadsheet. You know who the decision-makers are, what their procurement calendar looks like, and where Edilex fits. You work the full cycle. From the first call through demo, proposal, negotiation, and close
• you drive deals forward with minimal hand-holding and keep your forecast honest.

You represent Edilex credibly in every room. Whether you re at a municipal procurement event or presenting to a school board CIO, you understand the product, the pain, and the public sector context well enough to hold an intelligent conversation with a skeptical buyer. Pipeline Development You don t wait for leads. You prospect proactively

• identifying procurement leaders, municipal decision-makers, and institutional administrators across Ontario through research, outreach, and sector events.

You build on what the SDR starts. Qualified handoffs land with full context. You pick up the thread quickly and advance the conversation without making prospects repeat themselves. You treat events as pipeline. Edilex-hosted and third-party procurement conferences are on your radar and in your plan

• not optional add-ons. Deal Execution & Client Development You navigate procurement complexity. RFP cycles, multi-stakeholder approvals, and institutional timelines don t derail you
• they re the terrain you know how to move through. You close, and you keep. Renewals and expansion conversations with existing clients are part of your responsibility. A signed deal is the beginning of the relationship, not the end. Forecasting & Collaboration Your pipeline is real. Salesforce reflects what s actually happening
• your activity, your stage assessments, and your close estimates tell a coherent story. You flag early and bring options. When a deal stalls or a segment isn t responding, you surface it quickly and come with a hypothesis, not just a problem. What You ll Bring Required Full-cycle B2B sales experience in SaaS or technology
• you ve owned a deal from prospecting through close, managed a multi-month pipeline, and have a track record of hitting quota in a complex selling environment. Public sector fluency
• you understand how municipalities, school boards, or government agencies make purchasing decisions. Procurement structures, committee approvals, and long timelines don t slow you down
• they re the environment you ve learned to navigate. Consultative selling ability
• you ask the questions that get beneath the stated need. Buyers leave your discovery calls feeling heard, not pitched. Proposal and RFP experience
• you ve written or contributed to competitive RFP responses and service proposals in a procurement-heavy environment. Clear, credible communication
• you can explain a technical product to a non-technical buyer, hold your ground in a negotiation, and follow up without being annoying. Bilingual (EN/FR) is a meaningful asset in this market. Authorization to work in Canada
• we are not able to sponsor work visas at this time. Nice to Have Bilingual fluency in English and French
• Ontario s public sector is meaningfully bilingual. If you can engage francophones with the same confidence as anglophones, you ll cover more ground. GovTech or legaltech experience
• you ve sold procurement software, document automation, or a related product and can speak to the pain of manual processes from firsthand experience. Salesforce experience
• your pipeline hygiene is strong and your activity data tells a coherent story. SDR or inside sales background
• you ve been on the other side of the handoff and know what makes a qualified opportunity actually worth pursuing.

What Success Looks Like 90 days: You ve completed discovery on all inherited opportunities, built your Ontario account map, and are actively running demos with qualified prospects. Your pipeline exists, is documented, and is moving. 6 months: You ve closed your first deals, your Salesforce data tells a clean story, and hiring managers at target accounts know your name. Your forecast is reliable enough that leadership stops double-checking it. 12 months: You re the go-to AE for Ontario s public procurement segment. Your renewal rate is strong, you re sourcing net-new pipeline beyond what the SDR delivers, and you ve contributed at least one insight that shaped how Edilex positions itself in the market. If this sounds like the role you ve been looking for

• we d love to hear from you.
