Execute a Federal Partner Ecosystem Motion

• Develop and manage strategic co-sell relationships with major Federal Systems Integrators, including Leidos, SAIC, Booz Allen Hamilton, General Dynamics IT, and others.
• Partner with Federal distributors and VARs (e.g., Carahsoft) to navigate contract vehicles, renewal workflows, and net-new agency entry.
• Align with partner capture teams and distributor resources to position Mattermost within prime contracts, task orders, and program-level pursuits.
• Maintain clear ownership of deal strategy and close execution while leveraging partners to accelerate procurement and expand reach.

Deliver Predictable Revenue and Forecast Accountability

• Carry and achieve an annual quota across net-new and strategic expansion outcomes.
• Maintain high forecast accuracy, deal hygiene, and pipeline rigor in Salesforce.
• Provide clear visibility to Sales leadership and Finance on deal timing, risks, and execution plans.
• Develop account plans and Executive Business Reviews (EBRs) that align Mattermost capabilities to Navy mission requirements and long-term strategic priorities.
• Provide competitive intelligence and market feedback to product, marketing, and leadership teams to inform Mattermost's federal go-to-market strategy.
