Position Summary

The Enterprise Software Sales Director – DoD is a senior, quota-carrying sales role responsible for closing multi-year enterprise software agreements across U.S. Department of Defense organizations, with a current focus on the U.S. Army, U.S. Marine Corps, and U.S. Navy.

This role requires a proven enterprise sales professional with a military background who can navigate complex government acquisition environments, engage senior military and civilian leaders, and close high-value Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) software contracts. This is a pure enterprise sales role, not a business development or capture-only position.

• Strong understanding of SaaS/COTS platforms and enterprise technology sales.
