About this Senior Account Executive, DoW role at WireScreen

WireScreen · Hybrid · Washington, D.C.

WireScreen is a fast-growing Series A startup bringing clarity to one of the world’s most complex business landscapes. We’re building the go-to intelligence platform for navigating global supply chains and China-related risk—revealing the networks, relationships, and financial ties behind companies so our customers can see connections, remove obstacles, and make confident decisions.

Backed by Sequoia Capital and Harpoon Ventures, our team includes a two-time Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist and senior engineers from Google, Twitter, and Oracle. We launched just three years ago and already have strong traction with top-tier government customers—and we’re just getting started. If you’re excited to make global systems more transparent and secure, now’s the perfect time to join us.

About the Role:

As a Senior Account Executive at WireScreen, you’ll drive new business growth across the federal government and its broader ecosystem. Reporting to the Head of Federal Sales, you’ll work closely with leadership to shape our go-to-market strategy, accelerate revenue, and help refine our product. This is a hands-on, high-impact role ideal for someone excited to grow with a fast-moving startup and take on a broad set of responsibilities.

What You'll Do:

  • Run point on our U.S. Department of War new business sales efforts, overseeing and expanding our Department of War portfolio.

  • Build and execute a targeted new business territory strategy: territory mapping, target accounts, key stakeholders, prospecting, contract vehicles, and pipeline generation and ongoing management.

  • Run the full sales cycle independently—from cold outreach and discovery to tailored demos, contract negotiations, and closing—without dedicated SDR or Solutions Engineer support.

  • Exceed your quota through disciplined qualification and deal execution, delivering accurate pipeline forecasting.

  • Develop deep fluency in the customer mission space and evolving geopolitical landscape – e.g. sanctions, export controls, federal regulations, and emerging risks – to deliver credible, high-context customer conversations.

  • Tailor positioning and demos to agency-specific priorities and use cases (e.g. strategic competition, economic I&W, target development, illicit network mapping, counterintelligence, dual-use technology oversight, supply chain illumination).

  • Build reusable sales content – case studies, one-pagers, demo scripts–that showcases WireScreen’s platform to support pipeline growth and speed up the sales progression.

  • Partner with customer success on cross-selling and upsell opportunities where sales involvement is required.

  • Collaborate with the Head of Federal Sales to map our addressable market, and plan and execute our sales approach.

You Should Apply If You...

  • Have 8+ years of full-cycle sales experience, consistently achieving or exceeding new business quotas, including over 5+ years of demonstrated success selling to Federal DoW/DoD and Intelligence agencies.

  • Expanded market reach by successfully engaging and collaborating with systems integrators, resellers, distributors, and partners to drive local growth.

  • Navigated government contracting processes efficiently, securing and closing federal deals within regulatory compliance.

  • Proactively identified and engaged key decision-makers, generating sustained interest and pipeline growth among defense customers and prospects.

  • Delivered results both independently and as part of high-performing teams, adapting to shifting priorities and environments.

  • Tackled complex challenges with analytical rigor and creative problem-solving, showing resilience and a commitment to collective success.

  • Crafted clear, persuasive communications tailored to diverse audiences, enhancing stakeholder engagement and deal progression.
