At Journal Technologies, we believe our technology can be a force for good in the world ensuring the proper and efficient functioning of some of the most foundational aspects of society - the courts and justice system. 

We create and implement enterprise software that supports the administration of justice, currently in the United States, Canada, and Australia. While our eSeries product suite enables governments and their employees to deliver continued foundational court processes, our R&D focuses on leveraging emerging possibilities with technology to improve access and efficiency.

We also have a major office in Logan, Utah, a team in Melbourne, Australia, an office in Victoria, Canada and a growing number of remote staff across North America.

Under our next generation of leadership, we're implementing a new vision for the company that prioritizes building an extraordinary workplace with empowered people at the heart of our business. Great people want to collaborate with great people, and we are actively looking for smart, motivated people who care deeply about the work they do.  

Senior Sales Lead

Journal Technologies is seeking a Senior Sales Lead to drive growth and expand our presence across Australia. This is a strategic, client-facing role focused on building relationships with government agencies and justice organisations while leading complex enterprise sales opportunities from prospecting through contract execution.

• Deliver compelling presentations, demonstrations, and business cases that clearly communicate the value of our SaaS solutions.
• Partner with Product, Marketing, Customer Success, and Professional Services teams to support successful customer outcomes.

Requirements:

• 5+ years of successful B2B SaaS, cloud, enterprise software, or technology sales experience.

• Proven ability to build relationships and influence senior and executive level stakeholders.
• Excellent communication, presentation, negotiation, and relationship-building skills.
• Strong pipeline management, forecasting, and CRM experience.
• Self motivated with the ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with global teams.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience selling enterprise SaaS or software solutions into complex organizations or highly regulated industries.
