We empower businesses-and their customers-to achieve more through innovation, automation, and intelligent insights. As a Client Executive focused on the Department of Defense (DOD), you will be responsible for driving strategic sales initiatives, building strong client relationships within the DOD ecosystem, and delivering IT solutions that meet mission-critical needs. This is a player-coach role that requires both individual sales execution and the ability to grow and potentially lead a high-performing team of account managers as the business scales. Success in this role requires a deep understanding of government procurement processes, federal IT priorities, and the ability to translate complex business requirements into technical solutions.

  • Operate in a player-coach capacity, driving individual sales while helping to build and scale a high-performing DOD-focused account team from the ground up.
  • Play a key role in shaping the federal go-to-market strategy by identifying gaps in coverage, aligning talent to opportunity, and defining the structure needed to support long-term growth.
  • Recruit, onboard, and mentor new account managers as the business expands, fostering a culture of accountability, collaboration, and mission-driven execution.
  • Provide day-to-day leadership and coaching to developing team members, supporting pipeline development, account planning, and sales execution excellence.
  • Collaborate with internal stakeholders to align sales strategy with solution development, marketing, and partner engagement efforts.
  • Act as a trusted advisor and field strategist, helping to position the team for success in complex government sales environments while ensuring alignment to customer priorities and procurement cycles.
  • Own the full sales lifecycle for assigned DOD accounts, from prospecting to order fulfillment and post-sale engagement.
  • Maintain up-to-date customer records, forecasts, and activity tracking in CRM platforms.
  • Work collaboratively with inside sales, engineering, and operations teams to ensure accurate quoting, solution scoping, and delivery.
  • Drive timely resolution of past-due invoices in partnership with finance and operations.
  • Build and nurture multi-level relationships with key decision-makers, influencers, and stakeholders across customer organizations.
  • Understand each client's organizational structure, mission priorities, and unique technology requirements.
  • Conduct strategic account analysis and territory heat mapping to identify high-impact opportunities.
  • Create and execute comprehensive account and territory business plans to accelerate growth.
  • Participate in account planning sessions with OEM and manufacturer partner teams.
  • Deliver formal Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs) to sales leadership focusing on performance metrics, key wins, pipeline health, and development goals.
  • Collaborate with internal teams and external partners to uncover new business opportunities and promote solution adoption.
  • Maintain and grow vendor partnerships to maximize joint selling efforts and solution alignment.
  • Leverage pipeline management and forecasting best practices to ensure consistent sales performance.
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience, with military experience highly valued.

  • Familiarity with advanced technologies and vendor ecosystems, including Cisco, Arista, Dell/EMC, Palo Alto, AWS, Azure, HP, Citrix, and others.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to articulate technical value propositions to both technical and non-technical government audiences.
