## About this role.

AI SummaryNorthwoods, a Banyan Software portfolio company, seeks a Senior Account Executive to win net-new state and county government customers for its health and human services software. The role owns a roughly $1M annual quota, with bookings split between SaaS and labor/services revenue, and includes limited migration sales from a legacy platform to modern SaaS. The successful candidate will manage the complete public-sector sales cycle, build territory pipeline, and partner closely with a newly hired VP of Sales while the team is rebuilt. This remote, travel-oriented role requires an established SLED network and demonstrated technology/SaaS selling experience; HHS, Medicaid, or child-welfare expertise is preferred.

Sample interview questionsDescribe a state or local government SaaS deal that you took from prospecting to close.I would outline the agency's business problem, stakeholder map, procurement path, competitive landscape, and the value case I built. I would quantify the outcome, explain how I maintained momentum through the buying process, and describe the actions that led to a successful close.

How would you build a net-new pipeline for Northwoods in an assigned SLED territory?

I would prioritize agencies by program fit, modernization need, budget timing, and relationship strength. I would combine my existing network with account research, partner outreach, targeted executive messaging, and a disciplined cadence tied to measurable pipeline coverage and stage-conversion targets.

How do you manage the longer and more complex procurement cycles common in government sales?

I establish a mutual action plan early, identify economic buyers, program owners, IT, procurement, and legal stakeholders, and document each approval step. I maintain regular value-focused communication, prepare for RFP or security requirements in advance, and continuously validate timeline, budget, and decision criteria.

What approach would you take to converting a legacy Northwoods customer to the modern SaaS platform?

I would begin with a discovery-led account review focused on operational pain, modernization goals, adoption barriers, and the costs of maintaining the legacy environment. Then I would build a phased business case with relevant stakeholders, connect SaaS capabilities to service outcomes, and coordinate a practical migration plan with internal teams.

How have you balanced SaaS and services revenue within a single sales motion?

I position services as an outcome-enabling component rather than an add-on, ensuring the proposed mix directly supports implementation, adoption, and customer value. I qualify scope carefully, align internal delivery teams early, and preserve forecast accuracy by tracking SaaS and services components separately.

About the Role:

Northwoods is hiring Senior Account Executive to drive new logo acquisition across state and county government agencies, with some responsibility for converting existing customers from Northwoods’ legacy system to its modern SaaS platform. Both positions report into the newly hired VP of Sales and are being built as the core of a rebuilt sales team.

The role is remote.

The Role:

* Carry an annual quota of approximately $1M, with bookings split roughly 60/40 between SaaS and labor/services revenue
* Focus primarily on net-new logo acquisition within state and county government agencies
* Support limited back-to-base activity, converting existing customers off Northwoods’ legacy system onto its modern SaaS platform
* Operate with a 3–6 month ramp period before being expected to have an established pipeline
* Bring an existing book of business and contacts in the target vertical; this is not an entry-level position

Responsibilities:

* Own and deliver against an individual revenue quota driven primarily by new government/SLED customer acquisition
* Build and manage a qualified pipeline within the assigned vertical and geography
* Run the full sales cycle for public-sector deals, from prospecting through close
* Identify and convert legacy-system customers to Northwoods’ modern SaaS offering where opportunities arise
* Work closely with the VP of Sales to establish territory and account coverage as the sales organization is rebuilt

Qualification for Success:

* Proven experience selling into government or SLED (state and local government/education) accounts — required
* Background in technology/SaaS sales — required;
* Established book of business and contacts within the government/SLED space;
* Experience in human services, Medicaid, child welfare, or related HHS programs — preferred
* Comfort operating in a remote, self-directed role with regular travel within an assigned region
