  • Coordinate with marketing, product management, and customer support to align channel strategies with overall business goals.
  • Work with product, engineering, and compliance teams to ensure a cohesive approach to the DoD market.

Qualifications:

  • 15+ years of proven success in sales, business development, channel/alliances, partner management, and/or leadership, demonstrating increasing levels of responsibility.

  • Strong record of leading strategic opportunity capture within the DoD.
  • Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to persuade and build relationships.
  • Strong sales management and operational skills, with a track record of achieving strategic objectives.
  • Demonstrated ability to prioritize and develop strategic plans while thriving under pressure in a fast-paced environment, managing multiple projects simultaneously to drive successful sales outcomes.
