Position Overview
Netwrix is seeking a proactive and driven Federal Sales Account Executive to identify, engage, land and expand new business across DoD, Federal Civilian, Defense Contractor, and State, Local, and Education (SLED) accounts in the Mid-Atlantic region. This is a high-impact role focused on generating pipeline, building executive-level relationships, and driving strategic growth in the public sector.
You will be responsible for prospecting, positioning Netwrix’s industry-leading security solutions, and leading a value driven sales process that delivers value to new and existing customers from the first conversation.
Candidates must be located within a 30-mile radius of Washington, DC. This is a remote position with local travel to customer sites, partner meetings, and events as needed.
Key Responsibilities

• Identify and pursue new business opportunities across DoD, Federal Civilian, Defense Contractor, and SLED accounts in the Mid-Atlantic, leveraging Netwrix’s comprehensive product suite to drive net new customer acquisitions.
• Build and maintain strategic relationships with key decision-makers—CISOs, CIOs, IT security teams, compliance officers, program managers, and contracting officers—positioning Netwrix products as critical components of their cybersecurity strategy.
• Develop and execute a territory plan to maximize revenue from both existing customers and new prospects across the Mid-Atlantic, aligning Netwrix’s capabilities with customer pain points such as data access governance, federal compliance mandates (e.g., NIST 800-53, CMMC), Zero Trust initiatives, and insider threat detection.
• Lead negotiations on pricing, contracts, and product positioning through federal contract vehicles and channel partners, facilitating adoption of Netwrix solutions across various IT environments (on-premises, cloud, and hybrid).
• Build and manage relationships with federal resellers, systems integrators, distributors, and prime contractors, and navigate contract vehicles such as GSA Schedule, NASA SEWP, CDM, and ITES to move deals through the federal procurement process (RFPs/RFQs, FAR/DFARS, and fiscal-year budget cycles).
• Collaborate cross-functionally with pre-sales engineers, marketing, and customer experience teams to ensure that Netwrix solutions address customer requirements and deliver measurable security outcomes.
• Stay informed of the latest industry trends, federal data security regulations and mandates, and competitive offerings to accurately position Netwrix’s strengths in data security, risk reduction, and compliance.
• Maintain an accurate pipeline forecast, including fiscal-year-end and budget-cycle timing, and sales performance reports in Salesforce, effectively communicating progress to internal stakeholders.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in business, IT, or a related field (or equivalent experience)
• Located within a 30-mile radius of Washington, DC.
• 5-10 years of experience selling cybersecurity or IT security solutions into the Federal market (DoD, Federal Civilian, Defense Contractors, and/or SLED), with a track record of successfully managing both existing accounts and net new business.
• Strong understanding of information security concepts—particularly those relevant to Netwrix’s offerings—such as data classification, access management, auditing, and compliance frameworks (e.g., NIST 800-53/800-171, FISMA, FedRAMP, CMMC, Zero Trust).
• Working knowledge of federal procurement and the public sector buying cycle, including contract vehicles, channel partners, and fiscal-year budgeting.
• Proven ability to engage new prospects at multiple levels in the organization while nurturing and growing existing client relationships.
• Excellent communication, negotiation, and presentation skills, capable of simplifying complex concepts for various audiences.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment.
• Experience using CRM tools like Salesforce to track sales progress and manage accounts.
• Active U.S. security clearance, or the ability to obtain one, is preferred but not required.
