Sales Executive

Communications Engineering Company (CEC)
Urbandale, IA Full Time
POSTED ON 9/15/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 10/14/2026

We're looking for an Account Manager to own and grow a portfolio of SLED (State, Local, and Education) accounts — building real relationships, not just closing transactions.


What you'll actually be doing:

  • Owning a portfolio of enterprise accounts, with real accountability for growth and account health
  • Expanding CEC's footprint across projects and managed services (not just re-selling the same thing every renewal)
  • Digging back into stalled or aging opportunities and finding the angle to move them forward again — not letting them die in the pipeline
  • Running Customer Business Reviews that actually mean something — reinforcing value, not just checking a box
  • Building account plans you'll actually use, and keeping Salesforce clean enough to trust
  • Partnering with pre-sales and delivery so what you sell is what gets delivered

This is you if:

  • You've spent 5 years managing complex B2B or enterprise accounts, ideally within the SLED space, and know what "consultative selling" means in practice, not just on a resume
  • You've sold AV, physical security, or managed services — this isn't a "nice to have," it's table stakes for this seat
  • You genuinely enjoy reviving a cold or aging lead — you see a stalled opportunity as a puzzle to solve, not a lost cause to write off
  • You're comfortable in a room with executive and government stakeholders — and just as comfortable following up three times because that's what it takes
  • You treat CRM discipline as part of the job, not busywork you avoid


This is not:

  • A transactional, smile-and-dial sales seat
  • A role where "good enough" pipeline hygiene passes
  • A place where the culture is every-rep-for-themselves


CEC is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
