Job description

WireScreen is a fast-growing Series A startup bringing clarity to one of the world's most complex business landscapes. We're building the go-to intelligence platform for navigating global supply chains and China-related risk-revealing the networks, relationships, and financial ties behind companies so our customers can see connections, remove obstacles, and make confident decisions.

Backed by Sequoia Capital and Harpoon Ventures, our team includes a two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and senior engineers from Google, Twitter, and Oracle. We launched just three years ago and already have strong traction with top-tier government customers-and we're just getting started. If you're excited to make global systems more transparent and secure, now's the perfect time to join us.

Check out this blog from our CEO on how WireScreen traced DeepSeek's origins back to 2023-well before it went mainstream in 2025.

About the Role :

As Head of Federal Sales, you will be responsible for helping us evolve our Federal GTM strategy and operating model, scale our team of high performing Account Executives, and deliver high growth rates across an expanding customer base of intelligence, defense, and federal civilian agencies.

This is a high-impact, strategic role requiring a blend of Federal sales expertise, sales leadership, and hands-on execution. In this role you will lead the daily operations of our Federal sales team, including recruiting, coaching, performance managing, and deal support. Reporting to our Head of GTM, you will also work closely with our Executive Leadership, Customer Success, Product, Marketing, and Partner teams to ensure WireScreen continues delivering high mission impact to the U.S. government.

There is a strong preference for candidates located in the Washington, D.C. metro area, and the role will require travel to customer sites, WireScreen offices in Arlington and New York, and industry events.

What You'll Do :

  • Evolve our existing Federal Go-to-Market (GTM) strategy across intelligence, defense, and federal civilian agencies.
  • Manage, coach, develop, and support Account Executives to maximize their ability to achieve targets and continually enhance their skillsets.
  • Recruit and retain great talent to grow our existing team and allow us to continue scaling.
  • Own and grow the Federal sales pipeline, working with the Account Executives across all funnel stages.
  • Navigate Federal procurement processes, including FAR, DFARS, ATO, and other regulatory frameworks.
  • Work closely with Partnerships to establish or advance our activities with resellers, systems integrators, and technology partners.
  • Establish or improve our access to various contract vehicles, both direct and via partnerships.
  • Build and maintain executive-level relationships with key decision-makers and procurement officials across agencies.
  • Work cross-functionally with Customer Success, Marketing, Partnerships, and Product to align capabilities, messaging, and customer experience with customer needs and priorities.
  • Represent WireScreen at industry events, conferences, and briefings to drive brand awareness and market positioning.
  • Manage and continually evolve our sales processes for scalability, efficiency, and accuracy across pipeline management, forecasting, and deal execution.

You Should Apply If You Have...

  • 10+ years of SaaS / Enterprise Software Sales experience focused on Federal agencies, with at least 5+ years managing a Federal GTM team.
  • Proven track record of building and leading winning teams, capable of closing multi-million dollar Federal contracts and building and maintaining adequate pipeline coverage.
  • Deep knowledge of Federal procurement, budgeting cycles, and contract vehicles (GSA, SEWP, GWACs, BPAs, IDIQs, OTAs, etc.).
  • Existing network of contacts across intelligence, defense, and federal civilian agencies and the ability to generate top of funnel opportunities for Account Executives within the team.
  • Good understanding of FedRAMP, NIST, CMMC, ATO processes, and cybersecurity compliance frameworks.
  • Extensive experience working with systems integrators, channel partners, and public sector resellers.
  • Ability to evolve and execute a Federal GTM strategy, balancing long term, thoughtful decision making with rolling up your sleeves to support the team in driving pipeline and closing deals.
  • Demonstrated success in an earlier stage, fast-growing SaaS startup environment is preferred.
  • Willingness to travel as needed for Federal customer engagements and industry events; ability to obtain or currently hold a security clearance is a plus.
  • What You'll Love About Wirescreen
