Director of Government Sales & Contracts

Director of Government Sales & Contracts $125,000 Base Salary + Commission Fully Remote | East Coast Preferred The government is the largest purchaser of capital equipment in the United States. Most companies struggle to access it effectively. This organization already has a strong foothold. Now they're looking for the right person to take ownership, elevate performance, and scale an already active pipeline into something exceptional. If you understand government bids, contracts, and procurement systems, and want a role where you are trusted to lead rather than micromanaged, this could be the opportunity you've been looking for. This Role Gives You

• Ownership of a growing and active government sales and contracts division
• The opportunity to be the face of the company across federal, state, local, and education sectors
• Leadership over a team of 2 Project Managers already in place
