Lead as a Player / Coach

• Personally drive strategic opportunities while mentoring and guiding other Federal sellers.
• Help onboard, develop, and elevate future Federal Account Executives.
• Share best practices around account strategy, pipeline development, Federal procurement navigation, and executive engagement.

Drive Complex Enterprise and Federal Sales Cycles

• Lead sophisticated, multi-threaded sales cycles from initial engagement through close.
• Build relationships across CIO, CISO, networking, infrastructure, operations, and procurement organizations.
• Navigate Federal acquisition paths including GWACs, BPA vehicles, GSA schedules, and partner-led procurement motions.
• Develop strategic account plans that align technical outcomes with mission priorities.

Position BlueCat as a Strategic Platform

• Articulate BlueCat's value across network modernization, Zero Trust, cybersecurity operations, cloud transformation, automation, and network observability.
• Help customers understand how DNS intelligence, network telemetry, and foundational infrastructure visibility contribute to resiliency and operational awareness.
• Partner closely with Sales Engineering to position differentiated technical value in competitive environments.

Collaborate Across the Business

• Work closely with Marketing, Channel, Alliances, Customer Success, Product, and Executive Leadership teams.
• Build strong relationships with Federal systems integrators, strategic resellers, and ecosystem partners.
• Deliver accurate forecasting, pipeline visibility, and territory planning through Salesforce.
