About the Role

We are looking for 2-3 Account Executives to join a rapidly growing AI technology company transforming how businesses navigate and win government contracts. The company has raised $42M and its customers won more than $5B in government contracts in 2025. Its AI-powered platform supports businesses throughout the government contracting lifecycle and is used by major government contractors as well as growing mid-market companies. You'll join a high-performing sales organization and work closely with the leadership team as the company continues to scale.

What You'll Do
  • Own the full sales cycle from discovery through negotiation and close.
  • Conduct compelling software demos and communicate the value of a complex AI platform.
  • Build relationships with C-level executives, Heads of Growth, and other senior decision-makers.
  • Sell a platform product with $50K+ ACVs.
  • Develop expertise in government procurement, contracting workflows, and the platform.
  • Partner with the engagement team to ensure a smooth customer onboarding experience.
  • Build and manage a strong pipeline while consistently working toward ambitious revenue targets.
  • Share customer feedback and market insights with Product and Engineering teams.
  • Work alongside an experienced team of Account Executives in a fast-growing sales organization.


What We're Looking For
  • 2-5 years of experience in a full-cycle B2B SaaS/software sales role.
  • Proven experience closing deals - this is not an SDR/BDR-only role.
  • Experience selling a complex software or platform product.
  • Experience selling deals with $50K+ ACVs.
  • Strong experience delivering software demos.
  • Experience selling to senior stakeholders, including CEOs, CTOs, CFOs, Heads of Growth, and other executives.
  • Strong discovery, communication, negotiation, and relationship-building skills.
  • Curious and capable of quickly learning new industries, terminology, and workflows.
  • A consistent track record of performance and meaningful tenure.


Nice to Have
  • Experience selling into government, federal, defense, or procurement organizations.
  • Familiarity with government contracting or procurement workflows.
  • Military or defense industry experience.
  • Experience at a government or defense technology company.
  • Exposure to federal sales or government contracting processes.


Who This Role Isn't For
  • Candidates with only SDR/BDR experience and no closing responsibility.
  • Candidates whose sales experience is exclusively focused on low-ACV deals, particularly <$10K.
  • Candidates with multiple short tenures of less than two years.
