This individual contributor must be highly motivated and a proven sales executive in the Federal Civilian market with demonstrated experience selling to software development and security teams. The Federal Civilian Account Executive will report to the Director of Public Sector, and will work closely with his or her Sales Engineer, Public Sector Marketing Manager, Sales Development Representative, and Renewal Representative.

A principal goal for this position is driving both new logo acquisition and expansion within existing accounts across the Federal Civilian territory to achieve the bookings target. This is a hybrid hunter/farmer role: the Federal Civilian Account Executive must land net-new enterprise agreements with unpenetrated agencies while also growing wallet share and deepening adoption within the current install base. The position requires extensive relationship-building activities, discovery of prospect requirements, developing a solution that meets those requirements, and building a quantifiable business case that ensures the customer obtains maximum value. To achieve this — and to drive further adoption — the Federal Civilian Account Executive must have strong skills and experience selling complex solutions in large, complicated customer environments.
