About The Position

GovEagle’s AI platform helps government contractors win more work. Our AI agents dramatically reduce RFP response times by helping teams shred requirements, build compliance and capability matrices, deliver exhaustive outlines, and draft compelling narratives. They're well capitalized ($5M+ from Y Combinator, Strategic Cyber Ventures, and others) and based in NYC.

Over the past year, GovEagle has built a strong product-market fit (5x revenue) and a customer base that loves us (10x DAU). Using GovEagle's AI agents, our government contracting customers have drastically cut down the time they spend on RFPs while winning more awards.

To continue this momentum, they are hiring a full-cycle Account Executive that is comfortable running the entire sales process from sourcing to close. This role will help us design the GTM engine that takes us to $10M and beyond in revenue.
