Position Overview
Virtualitics is seeking a quota-carrying Sales Account Executive to own the Office of the Secretary of War (OSW) and 4th Estate territory. This role will build net-new revenue across OSW principal staff organizations, Defense Agencies, and Department of War Field Activities responsible for policy, resources, acquisition, technology, readiness, logistics, enterprise operations, and mission support.

This is a hunter role for a seller who can create executive access, translate complex mission and enterprise priorities into high-value AI and analytics use cases, shape opportunities before formal solicitations, and lead the full sales cycle from prospecting through award and expansion. The successful candidate will sell directly to government mission owners and selectively use integrators, contract holders, and technology partners to accelerate outcomes.
