Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
Enterprise SaaS vendors that sell into government often rely on a partner ecosystem and disciplined territory coverage, and this role sits directly in that operating model. With a defined Central Italy remit and a public-sector focus, it reflects how established SaaS companies structure regional demand generation and conversion when procurement cycles, compliance expectations, and stakeholder mapping are central to success.
From a SaaS career perspective, the position builds repeatable skills in partner-led selling: sourcing pipeline with resellers and integrators, shaping opportunities with multiple parties, and maintaining forecast hygiene in a system like Salesforce. Experience in up-sell and cross-sell also maps closely to subscription businesses where expansion revenue and account planning are core levers, and where consistent process matters as much as individual deal execution.
This role tends to suit commercial professionals who prefer structured territory ownership, enjoy coordinating with channel partners, and are comfortable balancing new logo outreach with growing an installed base. It also aligns with those who want their SaaS sales experience anchored in regulated environments, where stakeholder education and rigorous qualification are part of day-to-day execution.
