Major primes & OEMs - General Dynamics Land Systems, BAE Systems, Oshkosh Defense, AM General, Textron Systems, and American Rheinmetall Vehicles

Specialists & integrators - Allison Transmission, Cummins, Caterpillar, RENK America, Leonardo DRS, KBR, and other platform suppliers

Emerging companies - specialty mobility, robotics, survivability, subsystem, and advanced vehicle companies

Relevant market signals include fleet availability, maintenance and supply bottlenecks, modernization programs, production capacity, platform commonality, and allied sustainment.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the ecosystem: Develop and execute a focused account and partner strategy across the Ground Vehicles market, from executive relationship mapping through opportunity qualification, negotiation, and close.
• Build qualified pipeline: Create new opportunities across major primes, specialized companies, and emerging providers; maintain disciplined account plans, deal stages, next actions, and forecast accuracy.
• Sell-To: Position Virtualitics for the company's internal AI, analytics, engineering, program, production, supply-chain, and delivery workflows.

• Sell-With: Co-develop repeatable mission offerings that combine Virtualitics software with the partner's domain expertise, integration, platform, and delivery capabilities.
• Embed/OEM: Structure embedded and OEM licensing relationships in which Virtualitics capabilities become part of a partner platform or branded solution at scale.
• Foreign Military Sales: Identify exportable solution opportunities with U.S. primes and eligible allied customers; navigate the FMS case lifecycle from pre-LOR shaping through Letter of Request (LOR), Letter of Offer and Acceptance (LOA), contracting, delivery, and expansion in coordination with internal export and legal resources.
• Map mission use cases: Translate partner and government needs into credible AI opportunities across Class IX supply visibility, depot and field maintenance, mission readiness, program intelligence, production analytics, workforce readiness, and portfolio decisions.
• Multi-thread relationships: Build trusted access across executive leadership, business development, capture, program delivery, technical, security, contracts, international, and FMS organizations.
• Lead the internal team: Orchestrate solutions engineering, customer success, marketing, product, contracts, capture, executive advisors, and FMS/export specialists around the highest-value opportunities.

Required Qualifications

• 7+ years of success in a quota-carrying Federal sales, strategic accounts, channel, alliances, or business-development role.
• Demonstrated relationships and revenue experience within the Ground Vehicles market.
• Experience selling enterprise software, AI/ML, data analytics, decision intelligence, or other complex mission technology solutions.
• Evidence of net-new hunting, executive access, opportunity creation, multi-stakeholder qualification, negotiation, and closing.
• Working knowledge of U.S. federal acquisition and FSI capture, including teaming, NDAs, IRAD, RFIs/RFPs, IDIQs, OTAs, task orders, and partner commercial structures.
• Ability to communicate a complex technical and mission value proposition to executives, capture leaders, program teams, operators, and technical audiences.
• Willingness to travel 4050% and operate independently in a fast-moving, collaborative environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Track record executing two or more of the five growth motions, with strong preference for candidates who have built sell-through, OEM/embedded, or FMS revenue.
• Experience with the FMS ecosystem and stakeholders, including U.S. primes, DSCA, Department of State, implementing agencies, Security Cooperation Organizations, and partner-nation customers.
• Understanding of exportability, technology releasability, ITAR/export controls, data sovereignty, cybersecurity, cloud authorization, and classified or controlled mission environments.
• Experience with MEDDPICC, Challenger, or another disciplined enterprise-sales methodology.
• Active security clearance and bachelor's degree, or equivalent relevant experience.

Clearance Requirement This position requires the ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Government security clearance (interim and/or final). Continued employment is contingent upon successful adjudication; failure to obtain or maintain the required level of access may result in rescission of the job offer or termination of employment.

What Success Looks Like

• First 90 days: Establish ecosystem credibility, build the relationship map, qualify the initial account portfolio, and create a focused pipeline across the five motions.
