We are seeking an accomplished Federal Account Executive with extensive experience serving the Department of Defense, Intelligence Community, and Federal Systems Integrators. While a strong background in DoD is our primary focus, experience working with Intel agencies and FSIs will set you apart.

What You'll Do:

As a Federal Sales Account Executive at Semperis Government Solutions, you'll drive revenue growth and expand our market presence within federal government agencies, especially in the Department of Defense sector. Leveraging your expertise in federal procurement and your established network, you'll independently build a robust sales pipeline and close strategic deals as part of our agile, founding Federal Sales Team.

• Stay up to date on federal procurement policies, market dynamics, and competitive trends to continuously refine sales strategies.
• Lead the development and timely submission of persuasive proposals, bids, and RFP responses.
• Consistently achieve and surpass federal sales revenue targets.
• Implement best-practice sales processes and leverage sales tools to track and report pipeline progress.
• Collaborate closely with marketing, product, and customer support teams to ensure alignment on federal sales initiatives.

What You'll Bring:

• At least 10 years of federal sales experience within DoD, Intel, or FSI sectors, focused on cybersecurity software solutions.
• Bachelor's degree in Business, Marketing, Computer Science, or a related discipline.
• Demonstrated history of surpassing federal sector sales targets.
• Expertise in sales methodologies and forecasting approaches (e.g., MEDDPICC).
• Deep understanding of federal procurement, contract vehicles, and compliance requirements.
• Outstanding communication, negotiation, and presentation skills.
• Proven ability to develop and sustain working relationships with senior government officials and key stakeholders.
• Strategic mindset combined with strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Adaptability and drive to excel in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.

Bonus Skills:

• Skilled in CRM platforms and sales analytics tools.
• Familiarity with Microsoft Active Directory and/or Azure Entra ID.
• Experience in startup or high-growth environments.
• Successful track record as an early member of a federal sales team at a growing startup.
• Active security clearance is preferred but not mandatory.
• DC Metro area residency is a plus but not required.
