If you're ready to take the fight to the adversary, come defend your world with us.WHAT ZEROFOX WILL LOOK LIKE TO YOUFederal civilian agencies are getting hit by the same phishing kits, impersonation campaigns, and account takeovers we've spent a decade disrupting for commercial enterprises — except the target is a .gov domain and the stakes are public trust. Our FedCiv business is still being built, which means the territory isn't fully carved up and the playbook isn't finished. The person in this role helps write it.THE ROLEYou'll own new business and expansion across a defined set of federal civilian agencies — Cabinet-level departments, independent agencies, and the systems integrators who sell into them. That means navigating GSA schedules, GWACs, and agency-specific procurement vehicles as comfortably as you navigate a discovery call. You'll build relationships with security leadership inside the agency and with the contracting officers, resellers, and prime contractors who actually move the paperwork.Success looks like a pipeline built on real agency mission need — not just chasing whatever RFP crossed your desk — and a first year where you've closed at least one flagship agency logo that opens doors across the rest of your territory.YOU'LL THRIVE HERE IF...You understand federal budget cycles — including the September scramble — and plan your quarter around them instead of getting surprised by themYou can sell through a channel: a reseller or systems integrator is often the actual signer, and you're comfortable being the person behind the personYou're patient with process without losing urgency — federal deals move on the government's clock, and you keep pushing without forcing itYou've sold into government before and already know what a GSA Schedule, an IDIQ, or a task order actually isYou build trust with career civil servants the same way you'd build trust with a Fortune 500 CISO — no theatrics, just credibilityTHIS PROBABLY ISN'T FOR YOU IF...You need a deal to close in the same quarter you sourced it — federal cycles are long, and you have to be built for thatYou've only sold direct and haven't worked a partner-led motion beforeProcurement rules frustrate you instead of being something you learn to work insideYou're not comfortable being one of several vendors on a multi-award vehicle competing for task ordersYou want a fully built territory with a legacy book of business already closed — this one is still being builtRequirements7+ years of enterprise or public sector security sales experience, with a track record of closing new logosWorking knowledge of federal procurement — GSA Schedules, GWACs, IDIQs, or task order competitionsExperience selling through channel partners, resellers, or systems integratorsAbility to navigate long, multi-stakeholder sales cycles without losing momentumWOULD LOVE, BUT WON'T HOLD IT AGAINST YOU:Existing relationships with federal civilian agency security leadership or federal SI partnersExperience selling cybersecurity, threat intelligence, or digital risk protection specificallyFamiliarity with FedRAMP and what it does and doesn't require of a vendor like ZeroFoxBenefitsComprehensive health, dental, and vision (Cigna)HSA with quarterly company contributions401(k) with 3% match, 100% immediately vested — no cliffCompany-paid short/long-term disability, life and AD&D insuranceEmployee Assistance Program (EAP) — confidential counseling, legal, and financial supportGenerous time off$300,000-$350,000 OTEEqual OpportunityWe aim to build a team that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills.
