Job Description

• Initiate and close enterprise software deals across federal civilian, DoD, and intelligence community customers from initial sourcing through proofs of concept to production contract close. • Own the full federal sales cycle: initial outreach, discovery, qualification, proposal, POC negotiation, and closing production contracts. • Navigate federal procurement processes, contract vehicles, and the particular politics of each agency you're selling into. • Partner with our founding team and core product engineers to ensure POCs convert successfully to production contracts. • Build relationships across program offices, CISOs, CIOs, and technical evaluators. • Accurately forecast revenue, manage pipeline, and consistently meet or exceed quota. • Develop repeatable federal sales motions, collateral, and playbooks that will scale with the company. • Travel regularly to customer sites — this is a relationship-driven sale.

Job Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience meeting or exceeding quotas for complex enterprise cybersecurity or AI software sales to US federal government customers
  • Existing relationships across DoD, IC, or federal civilian cyber programs
  • Deep understanding of federal procurement cycles, contract vehicles, and buying processes
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance
  • Track record of building pipeline and closing seven-figure deals in the federal market
  • Comfortable working directly with founders and engineers in a seed-stage startup — this is not a company with a sales enablement team, a BDR pod, and a solutions architect on every call. You figure it out.
  • Strong proposal writing, negotiation, and contract skills
  • Willingness to travel extensively and work extended hours when mission demands it
  • Familiarity with FedRAMP, ATO processes, and federal compliance requirements

Benefits

  • Health insurance
  • 401(k) matching
  • Paid time off
  • Remote work options
