  • Have a proven track record of closing complex, high-value deals with multi-stakeholder and dynamic buying cycles.
  • Are experienced navigating federal procurement processes, contract vehicles (e.g., GSA, SEWP, GWACs), and government acquisition timelines.
  • Thrive in fast-paced startup or scale-up environments.
  • Communicate clearly and effectively, both written and verbally.
  • Are comfortable using modern sales tools and CRM systems (e.g., Salesforce).
