About Prepared

911 is the backbone of American public safety…but, for too long, the professionals that dedicate their lives to answering our calls have been let down by the technology that serves them. Our mission is to change that. 

We aim to ensure that every emergency receives a perfect response; a bold vision requires bold action from our team, working hand-in-hand with the professionals we serve. 

Since the public launch of our first public safety product in the fall of 2021, our technology has helped streamline millions of 911 calls in communities around the country. We’ve revolutionized what’s possible in emergency response by applying cutting-edge AI to the most critical challenges facing first responders. Our partners span 49 states and collectively protect more than 90 million people.

Backed by more than $130 million in funding led from investors like General Catalyst, Andreessen Horowitz, and First Round Capital, we're scaling rapidly to become a core component of emergency calls nationwide, driving the future of emergency response toward a safer, more agile system.

At Prepared, you’re not simply part of a team — you’re a key force in a mission that truly matters. Your contributions here will shape the future of emergency services, playing a vital role in creating a safer, more connected world.

Position Overview

We are looking for a Solutions Consultant to join our team and play a pivotal role in expanding our AI-powered 911 platform.

The ideal candidate has deep experience in telephony systems, a strong understanding of 911 and emergency response technology, and the ability to sell solutions, not just features.

• Please note: This role requires 50%-60% travel.

What Make You a Great Fit

• 5-8+ years of experience as a Sales Engineer, Solutions Architect, or Pre-Sales Engineer in public safety communications.

• Deep technical understanding of public safety communications systems, including 911 solutions, telephony infrastructure, and emergency response technology.

• Strong ability to sell a vision, even when a product is still evolving—comfortable engaging in strategic conversations with IT leaders.

• Experience working with government agencies and enterprise customers, understanding their unique procurement and decision-making processes.

• Ability to manage long sales cycles, working closely with sales teams to close complex deals.

• Exceptional communication skills—able to simplify technical concepts and build trust with customers.
