Account Executive -Florida

Department: Business Development

Reporting To: Kyle Eisenberg

Description

At VC3, we don’t just solve IT problems — we own them. We serve hundreds of municipalities and organizations across the United States and Canada, bringing IT to the people who need it most. We believe in earning trust, having a growth mindset, and delivering excellence every single time.

VC3 is one of the largest managed IT and cybersecurity service providers for local government in North America, serving more than 1,100 municipalities and 700 businesses across the United States and Canada. With over 30 years of experience, we bring enterprise-level technology managed services, cybersecurity, compliance, AI enablement, application development, and web hosting to the communities that need it most. Our average client tenure exceeds 11 years because we show up as a partner, not a vendor, and we take the trust placed in us by the citizens of those communities seriously every single day

We're a team of doers, builders, and tech whisperers who live by 4 core values:

Go Beyond | Own It | Be Curious| Serve as One

We pride ourselves on making IT personal, making IT easy, and getting IT right. And it all starts with our talented team that is committed to raising the bar.

The Impact you will have:

We are seeking a high performing Account Executive living in Florida to drive growth by connecting client challenges to tailored solutions and net-new logos only; existing account growth is owned by Client Relationship Managers. This is a pure net-new hunting role. You will build your pipeline from zero through cold outreach, in-person prospecting, league and association events, and community relationship building. Your success depends entirely on your ability to consistently generate your own first meetings and convert them into long-term partnerships, often over a 3-to-12-month sales cycle aligned with municipal budget seasons.

This role is based on monthly first-time appointment targets and qualified opportunity metrics, weekly activity is a standard rather than a target. It is a relationship-first, territory-building position where success is built over months and years, not weeks. If you are motivated by high-volume, fast-close selling, this is not the right fit. If you thrive on building genuine trust with community leaders, navigating complex buying processes, and knowing that the work you do protects the citizens of small towns, keep reading.

What you will be doing

• Own the full sales cycle from cold outreach to close. You are expected to self-source the majority of your pipeline. Marketing and league-event leads supplement prospecting but do not replace it.
• Make consistent outbound calls, send personalized emails, and conduct in-person drop visits to city halls, municipal offices, and government facilities in your territory
• Attend municipal league conferences, table day events, and trade shows to build name recognition and generate hand-raiser leads
• Build trust-based relationships with city managers, town clerks, mayors, county administrators, and IT decision-makers over months before a formal sales conversation begins
• Navigate municipal budget cycles, council and commission approval processes, and cooperative contract vehicles to move deals from discovery to close
• Conduct executive overview presentations, business-level discovery conversations, and solution recommendations tailored to the specific pain points of each municipality
• Maintain rigorous CRM hygiene so your pipeline reflects reality
• Hold yourself accountable to weekly first time appointment targets and qualified opportunity metrics as the primary indicators of territory health

The tools you bring

• Must currently reside in Florida. Deep familiarity with the communities, culture, and regional dynamics of the area is essential to success in this role
• 3+ years of quota-bearing B2B hunting experience, including consultative, solution based selling with business case development and proposals.
• Demonstrated experience selling to or working with local government organizations: city managers, county administrators, municipal clerks, council members, or comparable roles is strongly preferred and will be weighted heavily in the evaluation process
• Demonstrated ability to manage and sustain a long sales cycle of 3 to 12 months, including building relationships months in advance of a budget decision, is required
• Sandler-based consultative discovery, BANT qualification and MEDDPICC used to drive successful sales engagements.
• Proven outbound prospecting discipline including consistent cold calling, structured email cadencing, and in-person drop visit activity is required. This role demands self-generated pipeline. Candidates who rely primarily on inbound leads or marketing-generated opportunities will not find the right fit here
• 30-40% travel, including overnight and multi-day trips, with some weekend conference attendance.
• Prior experience selling IT managed services, cybersecurity, or technology solutions in a net-new hunting capacity is preferred. Pure account management, channel or inside sales backgrounds without a significant outbound hunting component will not translate directly to this role. Prior account management is not disqualifying when paired with net-new experience.
