Regional Sales Director - East

This is an exciting opportunity to lead Tablet Command's growth across the Eastern U.S. and Canada.

As Sales Director, East, you'll lead a team of Regional Account Executives while carrying your own book of strategic accounts. This is a player-coach role for a proven sales leader who still loves to sell: you'll coach sellers in the field, inspect and advance deals, own the regional forecast, and personally close flagship agencies modernizing their incident command operations.

Preference will be given to candidates living in the region with strong relationships across fire departments, communication centers, and public safety networks.
