Why this role matters
Every day, Australian communities interact with their local councils. At Objective, we build the software that makes those interactions faster, smarter, and more impactful. As a leading GovTech organisation, our digital solutions transform how government operates.
We are looking for a senior, sales-driven
Account Director to join our Planning & Building Solutions team in Melbourne. This is an enterprise-level role where you will leverage your deep Local Government network to drive strategic growth, secure major SaaS partnerships, and champion community-changing technology.
Own the full sales lifecycle across Local Government, focusing on high-value retention, upsells, and new SaaS acquisitions.
Build trust-based, consultative relationships with executive council stakeholders and regulatory leaders.
Leverage your existing Local Government network to uncover, qualify, and close complex enterprise opportunities.
Partner closely with Presales, Product, and Marketing to architect tailored solutions that solve real council challenges.
Bring market insights back to our teams to help shape our future product roadmap.
Your skills, experience and beyond:: Local Gov Expertise (Mandatory):
Proven success selling enterprise software/SaaS directly into Australian Local Government.
A solid grasp of council operations, ideally within Planning, Building, Regulatory, or environmental health workflows.
Track record of hitting revenue targets while managing complex, long-cycle procurement processes.
Proficiency in modern enterprise framework sales (e.g., TAS Challenger, Solution Selling, Strategic Selling).
Exceptional negotiation skills and the ability to act as a trusted advisor to senior government stakeholders.
Sell high-value software that actively transforms how local councils serve their citizens.
Join an industry leader with an exceptional reputation in the GovTech space.
Collaborate with a mature, supportive ecosystem of Presales, Product, and Customer Success experts.
Own your territory, execute strategic account plans, and drive high-value enterprise deals.
If you are a sales-driven enterprise seller with deep Local Government experience and a passion for technology-led transformation, we’d love to hear from you.
If you do not tick every box, do not let that stop you. We value potential, learning agility, and diverse perspectives just as much as experience, and we encourage you to apply.
At Objective, we recognise and celebrate our diverse team as pivotal to our strong employee engagement and our high-performing culture, underpinned by
Our Values.
We are an equal opportunity employer. We do not discriminate based on any protected characteristics or on any other basis prohibited by applicable laws in the regions where we operate.
