We’re hiring a Federal Account Executive to lead our Public Sector defense industrial base (DIB) business — focusing on defense primes, key integrators, and contractors building and operating mission‑critical systems for U.S. Federal agencies. This is a strategic, full‑cycle enterprise sales role. You will own a focused set of high‑value accounts, build the DIB/federal‑adjacent motion, and close complex, multi‑stakeholder SaaS and AI deals. Glean is actively working toward FedRAMP, but we are not yet FedRAMP‑authorized. We need someone who is scrappy, creative, and comfortable selling ahead of certifications — designing viable paths to value and deployment in a pre‑FedRAMP world while influencing our longer‑term public sector strategy.
Job Responsibility:
Own and grow a strategic territory across defense industrial base accounts and select federal‑adjacent opportunities
Build the go‑to‑market plan for your territory: target account list, use‑case focus, partner strategy, and coverage model
Run full‑cycle, complex SaaS deals: discovery, value hypothesis, multithreading, business case, procurement navigation, and negotiation
Sell effectively without FedRAMP in place
Orchestrate cross‑functional deal teams — Solutions Engineering, Customer Success, Product/Security, executives, and partners — to move strategic pursuits forward
Generate and manage pipeline with rigor through outbound prospecting, events, partner motions, and expansion within existing accounts
Act as the voice of the field for public sector, feeding requirements and patterns back into product, security, and compliance roadmaps
Land and grow lighthouse wins that can become references and case studies in the DIB and broader federal market
Requirements:
8+ years of quota‑carrying enterprise SaaS sales experience
6+ years selling into U.S. Federal agencies and/or Defense Industrial Base accounts, or highly comparable experience at primes, SIers, or major cloud/security vendors
Consistently met or exceeded quota in roles with large ACV, multi‑stakeholder, multi‑year deals
Navigated federal procurement and security reviews (e.g., ATO processes, vendor risk assessments, security questionnaires)
Worked closely with Sales Engineering and Product/Security to address technical and compliance requirements in late‑stage cycles
Direct experience selling into defense primes, major integrators, or key DIB contractors
Candidates are required to reside in the Washington DC area
Nice to have:
Background at a cloud, data, security, or AI platform vendor
Existing relationships across DoD, intel‑adjacent agencies, and DIB leadership
Experience with search, knowledge management, LLMs/AI assistants, or collaboration products
Active or prior U.S. security clearance (not required)
