• Build and execute account plans that map agency priorities, stakeholders, programs, funding sources, acquisition paths, partners, and opportunities for long-term growth

• Experience navigating complex federal procurement and acquisition processes, with an understanding of agency budget cycles, appropriations, program funding, procurement timelines, and federal fiscal year dynamics

• Demonstrated ability to build executive relationships, navigate complex organizational structures, and apply a disciplined, value-based sales methodology that connects technology solutions to customer mission and business outcomes

While it’s not required, it’s an added plus if you also have:

• Experience selling enterprise technology solutions to technical audiences, including Engineering, Product, Design, IT, or digital transformation teams

• Existing relationships across Federal Civilian agencies and familiarity with federal technology modernization, digital services, or collaboration initiatives

• Formal training or certification in enterprise sales methodologies focused on deal qualification, discovery, and value selling
