SMX is hiring a Strategic Growth Seller who will be focused on expanding SMX’s footprint of customers that represent non-linear or "multiplier effect" growth opportunities for both SMX and AWS. Specifically, these customers represent opportunities to grow our business in partnership with a they-grow, we-grow model. This will combine aspects of both direct, channel and partner-driven sales.  Examples include selling the SMX Elevate Platform to help ISVs achieve compliance (FedRAMP, DoD, etc.) and grow their federal practice, as well as driving growth through channel partnerships. This position is remote supporting a Herndon, VA based team.
