[Hiring] Public Sector Program Manager @SOVRA

Role Description

The Community Manager is a market-facing role focused on the public procurement community of Colorado and the broader Rocky Mountain region. Its primary asset is credibility within the Rocky Mountain Governmental Purchasing Association; the trust and peer standing that come from understanding public procurement from the inside.

This person spends significant time in the field — at RMGPA events, in agency offices, and at NIGP chapter functions — building relationships that cannot be managed through a CRM cadence. They serve as SOVRA's embedded representative in a professional community that values peer credibility and makes platform decisions based on trust as much as features.

Internally, this person bridges Customer Success, Product, and the supplier side of the business — acting as the voice of the Colorado agency community in product conversations and as an early read on shifts in marketplace health.

• Deep familiarity with public procurement practice.
• Understanding of government agencies' budgeting and planning.
• Strong presence and credibility with procurement practitioners.
• Colorado-based, with willingness to travel regularly.
• 5+ years in public sector customer success, government sales, procurement consulting, or a closely related field.
• Authorized to work in the US.

Requirements

• Own proactive relationship management with Colorado's highest-volume agency accounts.
• Conduct regular, value-reinforcing conversations with agency procurement leads.
• Monitor agency solicitation activity as a leading health indicator.
• Maintain a structured engagement map of the Colorado agency network.
• Serve as SOVRA's active participant in the Rocky Mountain Governmental Purchasing Association (RMGPA).
• Attend and contribute to RMGPA events and education sessions.
• Build peer-level relationships with procurement professionals.
• Develop working knowledge of the Rocky Mountain supplier community.
• Drive digital adoption among agencies.
• Serve as the primary relationship owner for SOVRA's paid agency accounts in Colorado.
• Maintain a rolling view of Rocky Mountain marketplace health.
