Founding Account Executive

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.

We’ll click if you…

• Have 2-4 yrs quota-carrying success closing mid-market/enterprise SaaS ($15k-$250k ACV). GovTech, compliance, or security software a plus.
• Are equally lethal with cold outreach and warm referrals—you manufacture pipeline, you don’t wait for it.
• Can speak credibly to C-suite execs and proposal managers; you map power, quantify value, and push deals across the finish line.
• Forecast like a CFO and keep CRM hygiene immaculate.
• Thrive in ambiguity: you draft your own decks, iterate weekly, and chase feedback.
• U.S. citizen able to discuss controlled, export-restricted workflows with customers.
