Primary Purpose:

As a Government Sales Executive (Federal) at Orion, you'll play a pivotal role in driving our business forward in the federal government market.

  • Work with the Orion team in the preparation and submission of responses to Requests for Proposals (RFPs) and Requests for Information (RFIs) through collaboration with internal teams to develop compelling proposals that address client needs.
  • Cultivate and maintain strong relationships with existing federal clients, acting as a trusted advisor, and identifying opportunities for upselling and cross-selling.
  • Stay informed about government policies affecting federal procurement, providing insights to inform sales strategies and positioning.
  • Collaborate closely with internal teams, including product development, marketing, and operations, to ensure the alignment of sales efforts with organizational objectives and customer requirements.
  • Lead negotiations with federal agencies to secure new contracts, ensuring favorable terms and conditions while adhering to organizational policies and regulatory requirements.
  • Represent Orion at trade shows, customer meetings, organizations, and agent or company events as required throughout the year.
  • Perform other duties as assigned per the department's needs and requirements.

Experience and Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in business administration, marketing, or a related field preferred.
  • Demonstrate a minimum of 10 years of experience in sales or business development, with a proven track record of success in selling to federal government agencies.
  • Possess a deep understanding of federal procurement processes, contract vehicles, and compliance requirements, with prior experience responding to RFPs and navigating government contracting.
  • Exhibit familiarity with relevant industries and solutions, such as electrical systems, building improvement, and sustainability infrastructure (LED Lighting, EV Charging, Solar, Battery Storage).
  • Showcase strong networking and relationship-building skills, with the ability to establish rapport with key stakeholders and decision-makers within federal agencies.
  • Demonstrate a strategic mindset with the ability to develop and execute effective sales strategies, identify market opportunities, and build and drive business growth plans.
  • Possess excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex ideas and proposals effectively to diverse audiences.
  • Collaborate effectively in cross-functional teams and contribute to a positive team culture.
  • Obtaining relevant certifications in sales, government contracting, or related areas (e.g., Federal Sales Training, Certified Government Sales Professional) is a plus.
