- In-depth understanding of DHS acquisition processes, budget cycles, and decision-making structures.
- Proven experience working with Programs of Record and managing multi-year IDIQ contracts.
- Expertise in homeland security technology, first responder systems, and operational mission needs.
- Ability to partner effectively across internal teams (engineering, legal, partnerships) and external stakeholders.
Great-to-Haves…
- Established relationships at DHS S&T or component CTO level.
- Prior law enforcement or homeland security operational experience.
- Experience selling ATAK/TAK solutions, tactical networking, or mission-focused software to DHS or law enforcement.
- A track record of $4M+ annual sales in the federal civilian sector.
- Understanding of border security, emergency management technology, and operational environments.
- Familiarity with the partnership ecosystem around federal programs, including primes, subcontractors, and technology partners.
- Active Secret clearance (minimum).
Location: Flexible within the U.S. (Washington, D.C. preferred).
