• Collaborate with legal, finance, and technical teams to navigate complex regulatory requirements and ensure all solutions meet rigorous federal compliance standards.
• Monitor federal procurement trends (FAR/DFARS) and contract vehicle shifts (GSA, GWAC, IDIQ) while representing the firm at key government-focused conferences and industry days.

Qualifications Minimum qualifications

• 8+ years of Business-to-Government (B2G) sales experience with a documented history of meeting or exceeding quotas within the federal landscape.
• Deep expertise in the federal acquisition lifecycle, including direct experience leveraging various contract vehicles and navigating complex agency bidding processes.
• Demonstrated success selling complex technical solutions (SaaS, PaaS, or IT services) into highly regulated government environments.
• Superior negotiation and interpersonal skills, with the ability to translate technical capabilities into "mission-first" value propositions for federal buyers.
• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Public Administration, or a related field; or equivalent practical experience in federal business development.

Preferred Qualifications

• Existing, high-trust relationships within HHS, NIH, or major Government Wide Acquisition Contract (GWAC) holders and System Integrators.

• Specific experience navigating the unique decentralized structure of the NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs) or similar scientific research bodies.
• Advanced proficiency in Salesforce or similar CRM tools to manage complex, multi-year pipeline tracking and forecasting.
