Hungry for sales? Are you looking for a unique sales proposition or a new market to dominate?

If you're excited by new challenges & ready to grow as a high-ticket salesperson, we're looking for you!

Epicenter Innovation is a unique team of communicators, strategists, educators, and designers changing how public safety and emergency management approach innovation to enhance resilience. Our team supports emergency management- & public safety-focused technology companies with their business development, white-label training programming, and content marketing initiatives.

There is no "typical" day in our field. If you're new to emergency management, just think of how crazy things have been with COVID-19 this year and imagine that on a weekly basis; your day may involve a meeting with Silicon Valley executives, followed by a sales strategy meeting, then catching up with startup & enterprise-level prospects to determine their needs or close a deal.

If you thrive in a flexible, fast-paced work environment and enjoy working with a truly diverse team (business leaders, emergency managers, meteorologists, disaster response planners, trainers/speakers, and other thought leaders) this job may be for you!
