Why This Role at This Time

California is a priority market for Egen. Our growing Google Public Sector partnership is opening doors that larger firms cannot match with the same speed and agility. If you have already built significant revenue portfolios in California public sector (like the $20M+ managed books many of our strongest candidates bring), this is your opportunity to step into a Director-level role with clear upward mobility, while joining a company that is scaling its platform partnerships and rewarding senior rainmakers.
