VIA is making an impact, and so can you.

As the Director, Public Safety Solutions, you will be the "mission leader" for your territory. Working in partnership with a Director, Public Safety Sales, you leverage your deep industry experience to build immediate trust with end-users. You are a specialist in "the why" of the solution—demonstrating the functional power of VIA’s Public Safety application, GHOST™, translating user needs into product requirements, and providing the thought leadership necessary to position VIA as the premier choice for Public Safety agencies.

In this role you will play a critical role in the following areas:

• Solution advocacy & demos:
  Serve as the primary lead for all technical and functional GHOST™ demonstrations. You ensure the application is mapped precisely to the specific "pain points" and workflows of the agency.
• Market intelligence & product voice:
  Translate industry trends and user feedback from the field into actionable insights for VIA’s product development teams. You are the "Voice of the Market" internally.
• Thought leadership:
  In collaboration with your network, develop white papers and presentations to shape industry forums and guide public policy, differentiating VIA as a mission-first partner and innovation leader.
• Relationship stewardship:
  Lead the relationship with end-users and product vendors within your territory. You will work closely with VIA’s Client Delivery team to ensure customers successfully on-board GHOST™ and realize the mission value emphasized during the sales process.
• Internal educator:
  Act as the bridge for non-public safety colleagues at VIA, educating the wider team on use cases, terminology, and procurement nuances.

What you will bring to this role:

• 10+ years of experience in Public Safety (Police, Fire, EMS, or Federal law enforcement) or as a high-level Technical Sales Engineer in the Public Safety enterprise software solution space.
• An established network within the Public Safety community and a passion for modernizing government technology.
• A natural communicator who can explain complex AI/Data solutions through the lens of mission success and officer safety.
• A reputation as a respected and sought‑out leader within the Public Safety community, known for professional integrity and mission‑driven expertise

• Exceptional communication and presentation skills, with the ability to articulate enterprise software solution value and concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences
• Proven ability to develop compelling briefing material and collateral that resonates with the target audience
• Excellent strategic thinking and problem‑solving skills, with the capacity to conceptualize and execute effective sales campaigns
• Strong organizational and project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines effectively

• Self‑motivated and passionate about leaving everything they touch better than how they found it
• Firm believers that people should love what they do and are eager to build a culture that enables them to do their best work
• Creative problem solvers who respectfully challenge the status quo in the pursuit of excellence
• People who lead discussions with curiosity and value diverse perspectives
• Eager to explore new ideas, understand the power of feedback, and constantly seek opportunities to grow and develop their skills
