Why this role?
As a Senior Account Executive at Cohere you will have ownership of the full sales cycle - from identifying leads to closing deals, with Federal Civilian Departments and Agencies in the United States.
In this role you will be focussed on business development activity within the non-defense Cabinet Level Agencies in the United States, including Department of Veterans Affairs, State Department, and Treasury among others.
We’re looking for an approachable and compelling communicator who loves working with public sector customers to uncover their needs and feels comfortable developing tailored value propositions around how Cohere’s platform can help them drive better citizen outcomes.
