Founding Federal Account Executive — DoD AI Software

Full-time

Nearly Human Government Solutions

Nearly Human is hiring its first sales team member to help turn existing DoD traction into repeatable federal revenue. This is a hands-on, founder-led sales role for someone who wants to grow into federal sales leadership as the company scales.

What you’ll do:

  • Work directly with the CEO on federal/DoD opportunities.
  • Research and map target accounts, commands, programs, and stakeholders.
  • Run outbound and follow-up to generate qualified meetings.
  • Maintain CRM discipline and weekly pipeline tracking.
  • Support discovery, meeting prep, proposals, quotes, and procurement next steps.
  • Coordinate with BD partners, primes, and federal stakeholders.
  • Gradually own smaller opportunities from prospecting through close.

What you are not expected to do on day one:

  • Bring a full book of federal business by yourself.
  • Replace founder-led selling immediately.
  • Already know every DoD contract vehicle.
  • Manage a sales team.

Who you are:

  • 2–6 years in B2B sales, BD, federal sales, govtech, defense tech, SaaS, or consulting.
  • Highly organized and persistent.
  • Strong writer and communicator.
  • Comfortable with ambiguity and direct founder coaching.
  • Interested in DoD, AI, software, and mission-focused work.

Compensation:

$85K–$110K base, $130K–$170K OTE, equity, remote role, with compensation review as federal revenue scales.
