About the Role

Verkada is entering a transformative phase of growth in the public sector. To accelerate this momentum in 2026 and beyond, we are seeking a strategic, high-impact Director of Public Sector Business Development. This is a foundational hire responsible for building an integrated public sector business development function that aligns sales strategy and business development across both federal and state public sectors.

You will be the architect of Verkada’s touchpoints with key government stakeholders, ensuring that our cloud-based physical security solutions—from AI-powered cameras to integrated access control—are the standard for modern government infrastructure.

What You'll Do

Strategic Leadership & Revenue Acceleration

• Develop the Playbook: Create and execute a comprehensive government sales strategy initially focused on U.S. Federal and SLED markets, with expansion into international territories as Verkada scales.
• Bridge Policy & Sales: Partner directly with the Public Sector Sales organization to unlock procurement pathways, navigate agency-specific requirements, and support account-level strategy.
• Thought Leadership: Position Verkada as the leading provider in physical security modernization, educating policymakers on the benefits of cloud-native safety technology.

External Partner & Association Management

• Partner Engagement: Identify, hire, manage partners, procurement-focused partners, lobbyists, consultants, and advisors to deliver high ROI by navigating complex contracting vehicles for priority targets like the VA, DoW, and major school systems (e.g., NYC Public Schools).
• High-ROI Engagement: Curate Verkada’s presence in elite organizations such as NASCIO, NASTD, Major Cities Chiefs Association, and the National Governors Association.

Relationship-Building, Strategy & Compliance

• Build relationships with key government stakeholders and technology leaders to advocate for funding (e.g., school safety grants) and appropriations that favor the adoption of modernized cloud-based physical security platforms.
• Partner with legal, government affairs, and policy functions to monitor the evolving legislative and appropriations landscape relating to issues that impact Verkada’s platform and product roadmap, including but not limited to physical security and cybersecurity mandates, AI governance, data privacy (CCPA/GDPR), data security programs (such as FedRAMP and similar state programs), and (NDAA/FedRAMP) that impact our product roadmap.
• Partner with Legal to ensure all activities meet the highest standards of ethics and disclosure requirements.

What You Bring

• Experience: 10+ years in public sector sales, government funding, appropriations, and procurement, and/or public sector business development.
• Industry Background: Must come from a technology (SaaS/Cloud/Hardware) or a highly regulated industry (e.g., Aerospace, Defense, Telecom, or FinTech).
• Procurement Expertise: Deep understanding of the "mechanics" of government buying—you know how to influence a specification before the RFP is released.
• Travel Readiness: Willingness to travel 50% of the time to engage with stakeholders in Washington D.C., state capitals, and international markets.
  • This role requires regular travel, estimated to be more than 50% of the time, including both domestic and international destinations as needed. The successful candidate must be comfortable with frequent travel to support business operations, customer and partner engagements and team collaboration. 
• The "Builder" Mindset: You are comfortable starting with a blank slate and flying “solo” without a team under you for support, and regularly “rolling up your sleeves” to get the work done and achieve results.
• Cross-Functional Expert:  Effective development of public sector sales strategy does not happen in a silo; it requires clear and concise communication skills while managing constant cross-functional work across internal and external teams.

US Employee Benefits

Verkada is committed to fostering a workplace environment that prioritizes the holistic health and wellbeing of our employees and their families by offering comprehensive wellness perks, benefits, and resources. Our benefits and perks programs include, but are not limited to:

• Healthcare programs that can be tailored to meet the personal health and financial well-being needs - Premiums are 100% covered for the employee under at least one plan and 80% for family premiums under all plans

• Professional development stipend

• Cultural Architect: Foster a culture of high accountability, integrity, and relentless customer focus. You will be responsible for recruiting, hiring, and developing the next generation of Public Sector renewal talent.

About You and The Role 

As a Development & Permitting Project Manager, you will be responsible for driving the expansion of our network - defining how autonomous aerial logistics integrates into the built environment at scale. You are the single-threaded owner of development outcomes from site identification through entitlements, permitting and approvals across multiple metros, often simultaneously and under real deadlines.

We are looking for someone who takes ownership seriously - someone organized, highly detail-oriented, and consistent in follow-through. You are a self-starter who can operate independently, make decisions with incomplete information, and drive outcomes without constant direction. The work will be ambiguous at times; the expectation is that you bring structure and clarity to it.

This role sits at the intersection of site acquisition, real estate development, land use, aviation, and regulatory strategy. You will work closely with government affairs and legal land use to unlock jurisdictions that have never approved infrastructure like ours before. The playbook is being written - and you will help create it. Success requires sound judgment, persistence, and the ability to move projects forward in environments that are ambiguous, slow-moving, or resistant.

You will partner closely with engineering and operations to solve technical and site-specific challenges and ensure projects are executable - not just approvable. You should be comfortable going deep on drawings, constraints, and tradeoffs while still maintaining forward momentum.

This is an in-person position based out of our regional office in metro. Candidates must be local to the area and bring existing, credible relationships with AHJs and permitting authorities. This is not a role where you build your network from scratch.

What You'll Do

• Real Estate Search & Site Development:
• Support site selection, feasibility, and risk assessment end-to-end, ensuring alignment with zoning, land use, and aviation constraints.
• Identify risks early and drive mitigation plans across permitting, environmental, and infrastructure considerations before they impact timelines.
• Partner with engineering to translate site constraints into clear design requirements and ensure permit-ready drawings.
• Land Use Approvals & City Permitting:
• Build and maintain strong working relationships with planners, zoning officials, and building departments to move projects forward efficiently.
• Lead permitting efforts across multiple metros, including navigating novel regulatory pathways for drone operations.
• Partner with government affairs to navigate and, where necessary, help shape regulatory approaches.
• Represent Zipline in public forums (Planning & Zoning, City Council), communicating clearly and effectively to secure approvals.
• Ensure all submittals are complete, accurate, and aligned with jurisdictional requirements - high attention to detail is critical.
• Actively manage permitting timelines by engaging directly with departments, resolving issues, and escalating when appropriate.
• Pre-Construction:
• Support the building permit process from submission through approval, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and timeliness.
• Work with external consultants to produce high-quality, compliant drawings and documentation.
• Support contractor engagement and scope definition to ensure a smooth transition to the construction team.
• Cross-Functional Coordination:
  • Collaborate with site acquisition, engineering, regulatory, legal land use and operations teams to ensure alignment across development and execution.
  • Surface risks early and propose practical solutions to keep projects moving.
  • Provide clear input on permitting and policy considerations during site selection and deal review.

What You'll Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Civil, Mechanical, Industrial, Electrical, Others), Real Estate, Development, or Construction Management.
• 5+ years of experience in Real Estate Development, Permitting, Urban Planning, Civil Engineering, and/or Public-Private Project Development, with a track record of delivering projects from concept through approvals.
  • Bonus: Professional Engineering (Civil) License in the State of Texas, Florida, Arizona, Georgia or California and ability to stamp drawings.
• Strong understanding of zoning laws, building codes, and regulatory processes, with the ability to navigate them independently.
• Proven experience managing entitlements, permitting, and development projects in coordination with real estate and construction teams.
• Proficiency in tools such as Smartsheet and Bluebeam (Revit / AutoCAD a plus), with the ability to review and interpret drawings.
• Ability to work effectively with government officials, permitting agencies, and community stakeholders to secure approvals.
  • Bonus: Experience in aviation, logistics, or other highly regulated infrastructure environments.
• Strong communication skills, including experience presenting in public meetings or similar forums.
• Established local relationships with AHJs and permitting authorities that can be leveraged immediately.
• Willingness to travel up to 50% across the state to support expansion efforts.
• Must be eligible to work in the US.
