About The Position

Our client builds an AI workforce for the federal government. Their AI workers are trained on government workflows, operate reliably and compliantly, and build their own tools and software to modernize processes that have not changed in decades. Public servants are overworked and understaffed, and for years the large consultancies and systems integrators have promised to fix that while billing out billions. This company is doing it differently, cutting the cost of the work dramatically while helping agencies deliver on their missions many times faster. They are venture-backed, have run live pilots, landed revenue, and are now chasing major contracts head-on against firms a thousand times their size. Their product also brings agentic coding into government, standing up working software in minutes at close to zero marginal cost. The team is still very small. Every seat matters. Internally, this seat is not named "marketing." It is named after an influence operation, on purpose. The goal is ambitious to the point of being unreasonable: change how the federal government buys and works. That takes someone who can build and wield influence campaigns, not someone who can run a content calendar. You will own how the market sees this company. You will posture it against incumbents who have spent thirty years embedding themselves in the bureaucracy. You will build the demand engine that fuels growth, and the credibility that makes a buyer trust a team this small over a name they have known their entire career. They want someone who will leave the traditional playbook behind and map new strategy to a domain that punishes generic ones.
