Job Description Summary:

We are seeking a Director of Sales based in Canberra to lead and expand our strategic sales efforts across the Australian government sector. This is a high-impact, revenue-generating leadership role focused on driving growth through enterprise software solutions, particularly around mainframe and data modernization opportunities. The ideal candidate will be both a strong sales leader and a technical seller - someone who can navigate complex government accounts, understand detailed project requirements, and influence adoption of transformative technology solutions.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own and drive all sales activities across the Australian Federal Government territory.
  • Serve as the primary sales lead and project manager for a key existing Federal Government client, ensuring continued success, driving adoption of additional solutions, and expanding the relationship through proactive account planning and execution.
  • Build and execute a strategic sales plan to increase revenue and expand customer footprint.
  • Lead complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles from discovery through to close, often involving technical, executive, and vendor management stakeholders.
  • Serve as a trusted advisor to government customers by deeply understanding their modernization goals, challenges, and opportunities.
  • Work closely with the modernization, product, and technical teams to align solutions with customer needs.
  • Engage with vendor management and government procurement functions to streamline and accelerate deal processes.
  • Collaborate with Rocket's executive team to provide insights into market trends, customer feedback, and strategic opportunities.
  • Accurately forecast, manage pipeline, and report on performance metrics.
  • Represent Rocket Software at key industry events, forums, and meetings with senior government stakeholders.

Minimum Qualifications
  • 10+ years of successful enterprise B2B software sales experience, with a strong focus on the government sector in Australia.
  • Proven track record of consistently exceeding sales targets and closing complex, high-value transactions.
  • Deep understanding of the government procurement lifecycle and experience selling into Australian government agencies.
  • Strong technical acumen; able to engage in detailed discussions on enterprise IT modernization, mainframe transformation, data infrastructure, and cloud integration.
  • Experience working in or with large enterprise software companies.
  • Strategic thinker with a hands-on, seller mentality.
  • Exceptional communication, negotiation, and relationship-building skills.
  • Comfortable working cross-functionally with technical, product, legal, and executive teams.
  • Bachelor's degree in business, technology, or a related field; advanced degree preferred.
