What is a public defender?

Public defenders are attorneys appointed by the court to represent individuals who cannot afford to hire a private lawyer in criminal cases. Their primary responsibility is to ensure that every person receives a fair trial and that their legal rights are protected throughout the judicial process. Public defenders handle a variety of cases, including misdemeanors and felonies, and often work with large caseloads. They play a critical role in upholding the right to legal counsel guaranteed by the Constitution.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a public defender?

To thrive as a Public Defender, you need a Juris Doctor (JD) degree, state bar admission, and a strong foundation in criminal law and trial advocacy. Familiarity with legal research databases like Westlaw or LexisNexis, as well as case management systems, is typically required. Outstanding communication, negotiation, and empathy are crucial soft skills for effectively representing clients and managing high caseloads. These skills and qualifications are vital to ensure that clients receive competent legal representation and equal access to justice.

What are some common challenges faced by public defenders in Indiana, and how can new hires best prepare for them?

Public Defenders in Indiana often manage high caseloads and must advocate for clients with limited resources, which can be both demanding and rewarding. New hires may encounter time management challenges and the need to quickly learn courtroom procedures and negotiation tactics. Building strong organizational skills, seeking mentorship from experienced colleagues, and staying up-to-date on legal developments are essential for success. Collaboration with investigators, social workers, and other attorneys is also a key part of the role, helping to ensure clients receive the best possible defense.

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.


Positions Available

Depending on experience and market knowledge, we're hiring across several levels:

  • Public Safety Account Executive
  • Senior / Strategic Public Safety Account Executive
  • Federal Law Enforcement Account Executive
  • State & Local Government Account Executive
  • Justice & Prosecution Account Executive
  • Public Safety Business Development Executive

Level, territory, compensation, and account assignments are set by experience, market knowledge, relationships, and demonstrated performance.


Who You'll Sell To

  • Municipal, county, university, and transit police departments
  • County sheriff's offices
  • District attorneys and prosecutors
  • Public defenders and assigned-counsel organizations
  • State attorneys general
  • Courts and judicial agencies
  • Corrections and detention agencies
  • State police and highway patrol
  • 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.
  • Proven ability to generate new pipeline through direct prospecting.

  • Strong discovery, presentation, proposal, negotiation, and closing skills.
  • CRM proficiency for pipeline management and forecasting.
  • Ability to work independently while coordinating internal teams and partners.
  • Willingness to travel for meetings, demos, conferences, and partner activities.
  • Excellent English communication and U.S. market experience.
  • Authorization to work in the United States.


Preferred Qualifications

  • Established relationships within law enforcement, prosecution, public defense, courts, corrections, or federal public-safety agencies.
  • Experience selling digital evidence management, body-camera, RMS, CAD, redaction, video management, investigation, cybersecurity, cloud, or AI solutions.
  • Familiarity with evidence handling, chain of custody, discovery, disclosure, FOIA, public records, retention, and digital-evidence workflows.
  • Working knowledge of the FBI CJIS Security Policy and related public-sector security requirements.
  • Experience with government contract vehicles, cooperative purchasing, resellers, distributors, and systems integrators.
  • Experience selling on-premises, private-cloud, dedicated-cloud, SaaS, or air-gapped solutions.
  • Bachelor's degree in business, criminal justice, information technology, cybersecurity, or a related field.


How You'll Be Measured

Quarterly and annual bookings and revenue; qualified pipeline generation and coverage; new-customer acquisition; win rate and opportunity progression; forecast accuracy and CRM discipline; average contract value and cycle management; direct and partner-sourced opportunities; strategic account development; customer references and expansion; and compliance with pricing, contracting, and security procedures.


Why Join Us

Own the growth of mission-critical products, work directly with executive leadership on strategy, influence product direction through market insight, and operate in high-impact markets with real-world outcomes.
