The posting
You've sold technology to cities. Now help change how cities work.
Archistar is looking for an exceptional Regional Sales Director – Government Solutions to help drive our continued growth across Australia.
We're looking for an experienced GovTech sales professional who understands the Australian government market, the people, procurement environment, challenges councils and government agencies face, and what it takes to build trusted, long-term government relationships.
If you've built your career selling planning, permitting, land management, GIS, regulatory technology, civic technology, digital government or enterprise SaaS solutions to local or state government, we'd like to talk.
Why this opportunity is different
Archistar is at the forefront of applying AI to one of the biggest challenges facing Australia today — modernising planning and building approvals and helping get housing and development moving faster.
Our world-leading AI PreCheck technology helps government improve the quality of applications entering the assessment process, assess planning and building requirements earlier, reduce unnecessary rework and create better experiences for assessment teams, applicants and communities.
Born in Australia and now working with government customers locally and internationally, Archistar combines deep planning expertise with leading AI technology.
Now is a great time to join Archistar as we continue to expand our government footprint across Australia.

What you'll do
- Build and execute a territory strategy across Australian local and state government.
- Create and develop a strong pipeline of new government opportunities.
- Build trusted relationships with council executives, planning and development leaders, building and regulatory teams, CIOs and technology leaders, procurement teams and other key government stakeholders.
- Identify councils and government agencies looking to modernise planning, development assessment and building approval processes.
- Lead complex enterprise sales cycles from initial engagement and discovery through demonstrations, business cases, procurement and contract.
- Navigate tenders, RFQs, RFPs, procurement panels and complex public-sector decision-making.
- Develop strategic relationships across the Australian local government, planning and GovTech ecosystem.
- Work closely with our Government Solutions, Customer, Product, Technology and Marketing teams to turn opportunities into successful long-term partnerships.
- Represent Archistar at government, planning, technology and industry events.
- Bring market intelligence and customer insight into the business as we continue to evolve our technology for Australian government.
- Own your pipeline, forecasting and revenue performance.
