Remote, United States

Our take: The real work here is owning a public sector territory and patiently guiding defense agencies through multi-year, compliance-heavy modernization deals as their trusted advisor.

If you like owning a whole territory and playing the long game, this is a role where you build multi-year relationships with agency CIOs and technical leaders, then patiently move real modernization forward. You will work as a trusted advisor, not a transactional seller, threading complex procurement while a distributed team of engineers and channel specialists backs you up. It suits someone who genuinely enjoys public sector missions and thrives with autonomy and real accountability.
