The Role

Strategic Account Executives at Peregrine are responsible for building client relationships with our most strategic target accounts, closing new business, and expanding Peregrine’s footprint. Our Strategic Account Executives have the confidence and ability to negotiate, close agreements and support new strategic customers through our onboarding process. This role is a unique opportunity to grow a rapidly emerging, high-growth business unit in the Eastern half of the US: Emergency Operations and Management.

You’ll oversee the entire sales cycle while collaborating closely with cross-functional teams, identifying and executing exceptional GTM best practices to drive revenue. More than anything, you’ll be the customer's trusted advisor by deeply understanding their technology roadmap and creating strategic solutions to their most challenging problems in Emergency Operations and Management.

The Need

The natural disaster and large-scale threat landscape are becoming increasingly more complex, which is accelerating the need for agencies to be more data-driven. This space is ripe for technology innovation, and the Peregrine platform represents a paradigm shift that is transforming how agencies prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergencies. This is more than a business development role. It’s an opportunity to push the boundaries of how Emergency Operations and Management agencies operate today. Agencies need a better way to leverage data to make their communities safer and more resilient, and Peregrine is the way forward.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
