- Proactively identify customer risk and reinforce the mission and operational value of Recorded Future’s solutions.
- Apply a consultative, insight-driven sales approach to uncover customer challenges and align solutions to IC mission priorities.
- Manage the full sales cycle end-to-end, from prospecting and discovery through negotiation and close, navigating federal funding cycles, IC procurement processes, contract vehicles, security reviews, and authorization requirements.
- Partner closely with Sales Engineers and internal teams, including Technical Account Managers, BDRs, Channel, and Field Marketing, to develop tailored solutions and progress complex opportunities.
- Maintain accurate territory and account plans, qualified pipeline, and forecasts in Salesforce and Clari, applying MEDDPICC and balancing new-business pipeline generation, account retention, and expansion growth.
What You’ll Bring
- 8+ years of direct, quota-carrying sales experience serving U.S. federal customers, including the Intelligence Community, with a track record of creating pipeline and meeting or exceeding quota.
- Demonstrated success selling into one or more major IC agencies, such as CIA, NSA, NRO, NGA, DIA, or FBI, with established agency, program, and partner relationships.
- Proven success driving new business development through a land-and-expand strategy, including prospecting, developing, and closing complex opportunities within IC agencies and programs.
- Experience managing and growing IC accounts, identifying whitespace and expansion opportunities across teams, programs, and mission use cases.
- Ability to navigate complex buying groups and influence mission, technical, procurement, and executive stakeholders within IC organizations.
- Strong consultative selling, discovery, negotiation, and relationship-building skills, with the ability to translate technical capabilities into mission and operational value.
- Experience owning complex IC sales cycles, with strong knowledge of federal funding, IC procurement processes, contract vehicles, security reviews, and authorization requirements.
