• Agency Engagement: Build and maintain relationships with key government stakeholders including program managers, contracting officers, CIOs, CTOs, and mission owners.

• Solution-Based Selling: Translate mission problems into compelling solutions using our AI and data platform. Show them the “why should I care” in 30 seconds or less.

• Pipeline Ownership: Build and manage a qualified federal pipeline, tracking everything from early-stage interest to funded opportunity.

• Procurement Navigation: Understand and operate within federal acquisition frameworks (FAR/DFARS, IDIQs, BPAs, GWACs, SBIR/STTR, etc.).

• Partner Strategy: Work with government integrators, resellers, and strategic partners to expand reach and accelerate deal flow.

• Proposal & RFP Support: Collaborate with internal teams on responses, pricing, positioning, and compliance elements for government bids.

• Market Intelligence: Track federal budget cycles, approved programs, agency priorities, and competitor positioning.

• CRM & Reporting: Maintain accurate activity, pipeline, and forecasting data in the CRM (Salesforce/HubSpot or equivalent).

• Revenue Performance: Consistently meet or exceed federal sales targets and defined KPIs.

• Exceptional communication, negotiation, and executive presence

• Comfortable working complex, multi-stakeholder deals from concept to contract

• Experience selling AI, data, analytics, SaaS, or emerging tech into government

• Familiarity with DoD, IC, DHS, or civilian agency buying patterns

• Active clearance (or ability to obtain one)
