Why we need you
Demand from government contractors and defense primes already outstrips our founder-led sales team. We need a hunter-closer who can own the full cycle today and design the GTM engine that takes us through Series A and beyond.
What you’ll do
•
Create pipeline – Build targeted outbound campaigns to BD & proposal leaders at GovCon firms while working the steady inbound flow from conferences, LinkedIn, and referrals.
•
Run tight deals – Lead discovery, product demos, solution mapping, and pricing for $20k–$150k+ ACV SaaS subscriptions (annual / multi-year).
•
Navigate procurement – Guide prospects through FAR-driven vendor setups, security questionnaires, and ITAR/FedRAMP concerns.
•
Close & expand – Land new logos, then drive usage and upsells across additional seats, modules, and business units.
•
Build the machine – Write sequences, craft collateral, instrument CRM, and codify repeatable playbooks for future AEs and SDRs.
