We provide the world’s best end-to-end software supply chain security solution, combining the only proactive protection against malicious open source, the only enterprise grade SBOM management and the leading open source dependency management platform. This empowers enterprises to create and maintain secure, quality, and innovative software at scale.

We empower innovation with an unparalleled commitment to build faster, safer software and harness AI and data intelligence to mitigate risk, maximize efficiencies, and drive powerful software development.

More than 2,000 organizations, including 70% of the Fortune 100 and 15 million software developers, rely on Sonatype to optimize their software supply chains.

We are seeking an experienced Enterprise Account Executive, Federal Civilian to accelerate Sonatype's growth across the US Federal Civilian market.

This is a strategic, full-cycle enterprise hunting role with the opportunity to develop relationships across some of the United States' largest civilian agencies.

As federal organisations modernise their technology environments, accelerate software development and strengthen their cybersecurity posture, the need for trusted software supply chain security continues to grow.

You will be responsible for developing a defined portfolio of federal civilian agencies, identifying strategic new-business opportunities, building relationships with technical and executive stakeholders, and navigating complex government procurement processes.

The territory is being designed to provide meaningful opportunity for new-logo acquisition and sustainable growth.

Potential agency coverage includes the likes of HHS, DOE, DOI, USPS, HUD, DOS. The final account allocation is still being determined. These agencies represent potential areas of focus rather than confirmed territory assignments.

The opportunity is particularly suited to an experienced federal enterprise seller who enjoys building agency relationships, developing long-term account strategies and creating demand through a combination of direct engagement, partner collaboration and disciplined enterprise sales execution.

What is important:

  • Develop and execute a comprehensive Federal Civilian territory strategy across an assigned portfolio of agencies.
  • Identify new-logo opportunities within major federal departments, their components and associated programmes.
  • Map agency organisational structures, technology leadership, cybersecurity priorities, procurement stakeholders and funding pathways.
  • Develop targeted account plans aligned to agency mission priorities, technology modernisation initiatives and software supply chain security requirements.
  • Establish relationships with CIO, CISO, software engineering, DevSecOps, application security and acquisition stakeholders.
  • Identify relevant procurement vehicles, budget cycles and contracting pathways in collaboration with federal channel partners.
  • Coordinate targeted agency engagement with Sales Engineering, Marketing, Channel and executive leadership.
  • Build sustainable, self-generated pipeline through strategic outbound activity, partner introductions and account-based engagement.
  • Identify opportunities for competitive displacement and broader adoption of Sonatype's software supply chain security capabilities.
  • Maintain strong opportunity qualification, forecast accuracy and clear commercial execution plans.
  • Developing meaningful relationships across assigned civilian agencies.
  • Building a prioritised agency account plan supported by stakeholder mapping and procurement intelligence.
  • Generating qualified new-business pipeline independently and through federal channel partners.
  • Advancing complex opportunities through technical evaluation, acquisition planning and procurement.
  • Acquiring new federal civilian customers and delivering against agreed commercial targets.
  • Establishing a repeatable approach to federal enterprise territory development.

  • Visionary in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Application Security Testing
  • 2025 DEVIES Award to our SBOM Manager new product for its innovation and impact in developer technology
