As a Federal Account Executive, you will be tasked with driving mission-critical revenue by leading complex, end-to-end sales cycles within the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Intelligence Community (IC). You will execute a sophisticated go-to-market strategy that balances direct high-touch engagement with strategic partner-led channels, ensuring all security solutions meet rigorous federal procurement and compliance standards (such as FedRAMP, Impact Level 5 or 6, or NIST). Beyond closing transformative deals, you will act as a strategic advisor to federal stakeholders, providing precise weekly forecasting while collaborating with Marketing and Engineering to sharpen lead generation and maintain a decisive competitive advantage in the federal theater.

Qualified candidates will be based in the DC Metro area, Huntsville (Alabama), San Diego, or Colorado Springs, and may require extensive travel.
