<p>Mark43’s mission is to empower communities and their governments with new technologies that improve the safety and quality of life for all. We build powerful, scalable, and elegant software that sets a new standard for the tools upon which our first responders rely. Our users are diverse, and we are therefore committed to embracing diversity of thought and experience within our team.</p>
<p>We are looking for a <strong>Strategic Account Executive</strong> to establish and grow Mark43’s presence across <strong>Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee</strong>.
