THE OPPORTUNITY

Our client is an early-stage AI company (~12 people, founded 2022, $6M raised) helping government contractors respond to federal RFPs faster — "the Salesforce for government contractors." This is a full-cycle AE seat to help build the GTM engine.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Own the full mid-market sales cycle from sourcing through close. Build and manage pipeline via outbound campaigns and inbound follow-up. Run product demos and navigate procurement/security processes. Collaborate with two SDRs on meeting booking and pipeline. Establish repeatable sales playbooks and processes.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

First 90 days: build pipeline and advance early mid-market deals. First year: consistently close and help codify the repeatable motion.

MUST-HAVES

2–5 years in full-cycle, quota-carrying B2B SaaS sales; comfort with startup ambiguity; ability to sell across the entire cycle. US citizenship is required for this role due to ITAR data handling.

NICE-TO-HAVES
