Position Summary

The Enterprise Software Sales Director - DoD is a senior, quota-carrying sales role responsible for closing multi-year enterprise software agreements across U.S. Department of Defense organizations, with a current focus on the U.S. Army, U.S. Marine Corps, and U.S. Navy.

This role requires a proven enterprise sales professional with a military background who can navigate complex government acquisition environments, engage senior military and civilian leaders, and close high-value Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) software contracts. This is a pure enterprise sales role, not a business development or capture-only position.

What You Will Do:

Enterprise Sales & Account Ownership
  • Own the full enterprise sales lifecycle-from opportunity qualification to contract award and expansion.
  • Develop and execute strategic account plans across DoD Services, Combatant Commands, and major commands.
  • Build trusted executive-level relationships with senior military and civilian stakeholders.


Solution Selling & Executive Engagement
  • Translate operational readiness into compelling software value propositions.
  • Deliver tailored demonstrations aligned with DoD training, readiness, and operational frameworks.
  • Position Exonaut® as a mission-critical enterprise platform for training, operations, and strategic readiness.

Government Sales Execution
  • Navigate DoD acquisition cycles, PPBE timelines, and multi-year procurement programs.
  • Support proposal development and capture strategy in coordination with internal teams.
  • Collaborate with legal contracts and program teams to close enterprise agreements.

Market Intelligence & Internal Collaboration
  • Partner with pre-sales, product, and delivery teams to align customer needs with platform capabilities.
  • Monitor DoD modernization initiatives, readiness priorities, and competitive dynamics.

What Success Looks Like (12-18 Months)
  • A qualified enterprise pipeline across priority DoD accounts.
  • Multiple closed multi-year software contracts.
  • Recognition of 4C as a trusted readiness and decision-support platform within key DoD organizations.


Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in business, Marketing, or related discipline.
  • 5+ years of enterprise software sales experience with a documented record of closing complex, high-value deals.
  • Military background (officer or senior enlisted preferred) with deep familiarity with training, readiness, or operations.
  • Strong understanding of SaaS/COTS platforms and enterprise technology sales.
  • Established relationships or network within DoD or defense ecosystem.
  • Executive-level presentation, negotiation, and proposal development capabilities.
  • U.S. Citizenship required; ability to obtain a security clearance preferred.


Preferred Qualifications
  • Former senior military officer or senior training/readiness leader.
  • Experience selling to government, defense contractors, or federal agencies.
  • Familiarity with readiness reporting systems, simulation tools, or C5ISR environments.
  • Experience with Shipley capture processes and proposal management.
  • CRM proficiency (Salesforce or equivalent).
  • Active security clearance (Secret or higher).


What We Offer
  • Direct ownership of strategic DoD enterprise accounts and revenue targets.
  • High visibility with global leadership and product strategy teams.
  • Competitive base salary with uncapped commission potential.
  • Comprehensive benefits package (medical, dental, vision, 401(k)).
  • Opportunity to shape DoD readiness modernization and national security outcomes.
