The Federal Account Executive – Civilian Agencies exists to build, secure, and accelerate Sonatype’s revenue generation and market footprint within the United States Federal Civilian sector. This role is a strategic, high-impact individual contributor position tasked with introducing next-generation software supply chain security, AI governance, and automated Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) orchestration to mission-critical civilian infrastructures.
