Job description

VIDIZMO is growing its Public Safety Sales organization and looking for driven, experienced sales professionals to win and expand business across law-enforcement, justice, and public-safety agencies nationwide. If you thrive in a fast-paced, AI-driven environment and want to move revenue rather than chase activity metrics, this is your seat.


VIDIZMO is a U.S.-based technology company headquartered in Tysons, Virginia, and a Microsoft Solutions Partner across Data & AI, Infrastructure, and Digital & App Innovation. Through our AI-powered Intelligence Hub, we help Fortune 500 enterprises, government agencies, and public-sector organizations securely manage, analyze, and govern complex data with full control and compliance.


Our Multimodal AI Data Intelligence Platform applies Large Language Models (LLMs) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to power capabilities including automated tagging, redaction, summarization, OCR, translation, subtitle generation, object detection and tracking, intelligent search, sentiment and emotion analysis, topic extraction, document classification, and facial recognition.


Role Overview

These are quota-carrying positions focused on selling enterprise software and AI solutions to police departments, sheriff's offices, district attorneys, public defenders, courts, corrections agencies, state investigative bodies, emergency-management organizations, and federal law-enforcement agencies. You'll be assigned a territory, customer segment, or strategic market based on your experience and relationships, and you'll own opportunities across complex, multi-stakeholder government procurement cycles.

  • State bureaus of investigation
  • Fusion centers and crime-analysis units
  • Emergency-management and public-safety agencies
  • Federal law-enforcement and justice agencies
  • Government systems integrators and public-safety partners


What You'll Sell

  • Digital Evidence Management System
  • AI-assisted investigation and evidence analysis
  • Automated redaction of video, audio, images, and documents
  • Body-worn camera and in-car video evidence management
  • Evidence ingestion, storage, review, retention, and secure sharing
  • Case-centric evidence organization and collaboration
  • Video, audio, image, document, and multimodal search
  • Prosecutor, public-defender, and discovery workflows
  • FOIA and public-records request processing
  • Secure evidence exchange across law enforcement, prosecutors, defense counsel, courts, and external parties
  • Enterprise video content management
  • Secure live-video and situational-awareness solutions
  • Private-cloud, dedicated-cloud, on-premises, and air-gapped deployments


What You'll Do

  • Build and execute a business plan for your assigned territory, segment, or strategic market
  • Generate pipeline through direct outreach, referrals, conferences, partners, procurement portals, and contract vehicles
  • Build relationships with chiefs, sheriffs, command staff, prosecutors, investigators, evidence and records managers, CIOs, CISOs, and procurement officials
  • Run discovery sessions and translate agency needs into business and technical solutions
  • Develop business cases around faster investigations, reduced evidence-review time, lower redaction costs, and stronger security and disclosure
  • Coordinate demonstrations, executive briefings, workshops, pilots, and proof-of-concept evaluations
  • Manage the full sales cycle from qualification through negotiation, award, and contract execution
  • Lead or support responses to RFIs, RFPs, RFQs, cooperative contracts, and sole-source opportunities
  • Navigate government procurement, grant funding, appropriations, budget cycles, and purchasing requirements
  • Develop channel, SI, and government-contracting partnerships to source direct and partner-led opportunities
  • Represent VIDIZMO at public-safety conferences, association meetings, and industry forums
  • Maintain accurate opportunity, activity, forecast, and customer data in CRM


AI Tools Usage & Accountability

You're expected to use AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, or similar) to strengthen your outputs — but AI-generated work is never final without your review. You own accuracy, completeness, logic, compliance, and business alignment on every deliverable, regardless of the tools used to produce it.


Required Qualifications

  • Five or more years of success in enterprise software, SaaS, government-technology, or public-safety-technology sales.
  • Demonstrated experience selling to law enforcement, justice, or federal/state/county/municipal government agencies.
