THE ROLE
As an Account Executive, Federal - US Air Force (Remote), you will serve as the strategic driving force behind Everpure’s expansion within the United States Air Force and Department of the Air Force accounts. You will champion our cutting-edge, data-centric infrastructure solutions to modernize mission-critical systems, accelerate cloud and data initiatives, and solve complex operational challenges across Air Force bases and commands. In this high-impact role, you will lead cross-functional pursuit teams and align closely with key defense integration partners to expand Everpure's footprint across federal defense programs.

Pipeline Development & Account Penetration: Cultivate a robust, multi-quarter sales pipeline by establishing direct, trust-based relationships with program executive offices (PEOs), base commanders, IT directors, and C-suite defense leaders.

Program Success & Expansion: Partner with post-sales customer success and technical service teams to ensure seamless platform integration, long-term operational excellence, and mission success across all deployed systems.

WHAT YOU BRING

Federal Defense Sales Mastery: Demonstrated expertise navigating complex Department of Defense (DoD) procurement vehicles, Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR), and enterprise IT solution sales into the US Air Force or military branches.

Consultative & Strategic Mindset: Strong capability to dissect complex defense technology challenges and position advanced data platform capabilities that align with mission-critical outcomes.

Partner Alignment & Ecosystem Collaboration: Skilled in co-selling alongside federal systems integrators, defense prime contractors, and authorized federal distribution networks.

Clearance & Technical Acumen: Familiarity with federal security compliance standards, DoD data mandates, and active security clearance (or eligibility to obtain one) to interface across secured environments.
