If you want your work to directly contribute to solving one of society's most pressing issues, this is a place where you can grow while making a tangible difference.

About This Role

As a Solutions Consultant, you will own the full sales cycle—from prospecting to renewal—for an assigned portfolio of clients and prospects in your region. You'll combine consultative, value-based selling with deep regional expertise and regular travel (up to 50%) to industry conferences and client meetings. Your work directly drives revenue growth that fuels Bitfocus's mission to end homelessness, making every deal a step toward social impact.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with a virtual check-in with your regional team, followed by a demo of Clarity Human Services to a prospective Continuum of Care. In the afternoon, you might travel to a local conference to network with community leaders, then wrap up with follow-up calls and pipeline updates. The balance of remote work and field travel keeps every day varied and impactful.

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Using a generic sales cover letter that doesn't mention Bitfocus's mission or the homelessness sector—this role requires genuine passion for the cause.
  • Failing to demonstrate consultative selling experience; this is not a transactional sales role, so avoid focusing only on closing numbers without the 'how'.
  • Ignoring the travel requirement or expressing reluctance to travel up to 50%, as this is a core part of the job.
