Full Job Description
EverPure is seeking a Senior Account Executive with a proven track record selling into the Federal Government in the Greater Ottawa Area. This Senior Account Executive will coordinate the overall strategy and executive relationships between assigned federal accounts and EverPure, driving new opportunities and expanding existing engagements across the territory.

Equally important is a strong network within the Ottawa public sector ecosystem, including established relationships with key system integrators, strategic resellers, and consulting partners who support federal programs and technology initiatives. Experience collaborating with large federal SI partners such as CGI, Calian, General Dynamics Mission Systems - Canada, and other Ottawa-based integrators will be highly valued.

This individual will collaborate closely with Pure's sales engineering, channel, and executive leadership teams, as well as with partner organizations, to build account strategies, advance opportunities through complex procurement cycles, and deliver meaningful outcomes for Canadian government customers. The ideal candidate will currently be selling into the federal government and living in the Ottawa region.
