Job description

We’re in an unbelievably exciting area of tech and are fundamentally reshaping the data storage industry. Here, you lead with innovative thinking, grow along with us, and join the smartest team in the industry.

This type of work—work that changes the world—is what the tech industry was founded on. So, if you're ready to seize the endless opportunities and leave your mark, come join us.

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. The role requires deep knowledge of the Government of Canada technology procurement environment and the ability to navigate complex buying processes across organizations such as the Department of National Defence (DND), Shared Services Canada (SSC), and other federal departments.

The successful candidate will bring experience working through federal procurement frameworks and vehicles (including mechanisms such as PISA and other approved supply arrangements) and will understand how to position enterprise technology solutions through these channels. 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.
