Public Safety Business Development Executive

VIDIZMO is growing its Public Safety Sales organization and looking for driven, experienced sales professionals to win and expand business across law-enforcement, justice, and public-safety agencies nationwide. If you thrive in a fast-paced, AI-driven environment and want to move revenue rather than chase activity metrics, this is your seat.

VIDIZMO is an AI software company headquartered in Tysons, Virginia. We build Nexus, AI Intelligence Hub, AI Live Insight, and Redactor — a product family that lets organizations search, analyze, redact, and act on unstructured data, treating video, audio, images, documents, and text as equal first-class sources. More than 100 customers run VIDIZMO in production across public safety and justice, government, healthcare, financial services, education, legal, manufacturing, and energy, much of it on premises, air-gapped, or in FedRAMP High environments on a CJIS Security Policy-aligned architecture.

We're an independent software vendor: we build and support the platform, and a global network of channel partners sells, deploys, and supports it for their own clients — which is why the people we hire spend their time making partners and customers successful rather than running a direct sales funnel. VIDIZMO is an NVIDIA Inception partner and a Microsoft Solutions Partner for Data & AI, ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified, and buyable through GSA, Carahsoft, and state/cooperative contract vehicles.
