• Self‑starter with a strong work ethic and willingness to take ownership of the assigned sales territory
• Experience with NG9-1-1, emergency communications, or mass notification solutions is strongly preferred

Due to the nature of our work with public safety agencies, this position requires compliance with applicable Canadian security and background screening requirements. Candidates must successfully pass a comprehensive background check, which may include criminal record verification and additional security assessments as required by customer contracts, provincial authorities, or telecom partners. Obtaining and maintaining all required security clearances is a condition of employment. This may include, but is not limited to, RCMP‑based criminal record checks, CPIC screening, and customer‑specific security requirements.
