  • Strong consultative selling, discovery, negotiation, and relationship-building skills, with the ability to translate technical capabilities into mission and operational value.
  • Experience owning complex IC sales cycles, with strong knowledge of federal funding, IC procurement processes, contract vehicles, security reviews, and authorization requirements.
