Federal Growth Lead, Navy

Federal Growth Lead, Navy Location: New York or Washington, DC preferred. Remote anywhere in the U.S. considered. Travel: About 20-40% if based in NYC or DC; 50%+ if remote. Compensation: 220K–250K base + commission + equity About the Client A venture-backed software company replacing the legacy systems federal agencies run on with modern, AI-native software. Its systems of record are already live across federal civilian agencies and inside the Department of War, and revenue has grown many times over this year. Backed by top-tier venture investors, with teams in New York and Washington, DC. About the Role The Department of the Navy is one of the largest buyers in the company's market, and today nobody at the company owns it. You will own the full Navy sales cycle and build a repeatable motion across systems commands, program executive offices, and fleet and installation customers, rather than chasing a single flagship win. There is no book of business to inherit. You will write the multi-year account strategy, then execute it: finding pathways into enterprise programs at organizations like PEO Digital and NAVWAR, and earning trust with program offices and contracting officers who have been burned by legacy vendors before. Responsibilities Own the Navy sales cycle end to end, from outbound prospecting through demos, proposals, negotiation and close, against a quota. Build and execute the Navy account strategy across systems commands, PEOs, and fleet and installation customers.
