This is a rare opportunity to be the architect of our next major growth engine. We are a high-growth, mission-driven Series A tech startup that has identified a significant, untapped market: large-scale government contractors. The early signals are strong, with initial deals already hitting 6-figure ACVs and a clear path to 7-figure, landmark partnerships that will lay the foundation for our international expansion. We're looking for an Enterprise Account Executive to build this vertical from the ground up. You will not be inheriting a playbook; you will be co-authoring it. You will have the autonomy to define the go-to-market strategy, test new approaches, and shape the future of what could become our most significant business unit. If you are a builder who is hungry to create a legacy and thrives on closing complex, high impact deals, this is your defining career move. Your Mission Architect and Close Landmark Deals: You will own the full sales cycle for our most strategic accounts in this new vertical. You will command a complex, 6+ month sales process from initial outreach and strategic mapping to C suite negotiation and signature.

You've seen 7 figure deals and have the ambition and skill to find them. Expertise in Complex Procurement: You have direct experience selling into complex environments such as the public sector or within regulated industries (e.g. finance/health). You know how to navigate intricate procurement cycles, tenders, and framework agreements. An Entrepreneurial Builder's Mindset: You are a self starter who excels in ambiguity. You see a blank slate not as a challenge, but as an opportunity. You have a knack for creative prospecting and pipeline generation and are driven to build something from scratch. C Suite Credibility & Executive Presence: You communicate with gravitas and clarity. You are a natural at building rapport with senior executives, leading high stakes meetings, and becoming a trusted advisor. Strategic Discipline (MEDDPICC or similar): You view a structured sales methodology not as a framework to follow, but as a strategic tool to gain control, mitigate risk, and forecast with accuracy in complex environments. A Deeply Held Mission Driven Ethos: You are motivated by more than just the commission; you want your work to have a tangible, positive impact on society. Success in this Role Means Consistently exceeding your revenue targets through a portfolio of high value, multi year partnerships. Building a robust, predictable pipeline that establishes our success in the vertical. Successfully creating and validating the GTM playbook that the future sales team will be built upon.

C Suite Credibility & Executive Presence: You communicate with gravitas and clarity. You are a natural at building rapport with senior executives, leading high stakes meetings, and becoming a trusted advisor.
