Executive Guidepoint Security Jobs in Texas (NOW HIRING)

As Native's Founding Federal Account Executive, you'll build and own our federal sales motion from the ground up - generating pipeline and closing strategic deals across U.S. federal agencies, including DoD, the Intelligence Community, and civilian departments. This role is about building the federal program from zero - defining the strategy, processes, and foundations for long-term success. You'll be the first GTM hire dedicated to public sector and will serve as Native's primary representative to federal customers, prospects, systems integrators, and channel partners.

This is a high-ownership role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, knows how to navigate the realities of federal procurement, and understands how to land and expand inside agencies with long, complex buying cycles. You'll work directly with leadership, product, and technical teams to shape federal pricing, contract vehicle strategy, FedRAMP roadmap, partner ecosystem, and a repeatable federal sales playbook -turning early agency traction into durable, multi-year relationships.

Requirements

• Experience building and scaling a federal sales program from the ground up at an early-stage startup.
• 7+ years of experience selling B2B cybersecurity or cloud security solutions, with at least 4+ years focused on the U.S. federal market (DoD, IC, and/or civilian agencies).
• Demonstrated success closing six- and seven-figure deals with federal agencies, ideally at an early-stage or high-growth startup where you helped scale federal revenue from initial traction to meaningful ARR milestones.
• Deep working knowledge of federal procurement and contract vehicles - GSA Schedule, SEWP V/VI, CIO-SP3/4, ITES-SW2, OTAs, and agency-specific BPAs - and a track record of getting on the right paper to close business.
• Established relationships with federal CISOs, CIOs, program managers, contracting officers, and key channel partners (e.g., Carahsoft, DLT, immixGroup, Four Inc., Merlin, GuidePoint Federal).
• Strong understanding of federal compliance frameworks relevant to selling cybersecurity software: FedRAMP (Moderate/High), DoD IL2/IL4/IL5/IL6, FISMA, NIST 800-53/800-171, CMMC, and StateRAMP.
• Comfort running full-cycle federal sales - prospecting, capture, discovery, technical evaluation, teaming, negotiation, and close - including coordinating with primes, integrators, and resellers.
• Experience navigating the federal fiscal calendar, end-of-year buying cycles, color of money, and continuing resolutions, and an ability to forecast accurately within that environment.
• Track record operating independently in high-ambiguity environments; comfortable being the first federal seller and helping define territory, segmentation, and channel strategy.
• Excellent written and verbal communication; able to translate Native's technical value into outcomes that resonate with mission owners, security leaders, and acquisition stakeholders.
• Active or eligible-for U.S. security clearance (Secret, TS, or TS/SCI) is a strong plus. U.S. citizenship is required.
• You actively leverage AI and modern sales tools to prioritize accounts, build capture plans, and engage stakeholders more effectively.

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation with meaningful early-stage equity.
• A rare opportunity to be the founding federal seller at a fast-growing cybersecurity startup and to build the federal business from zero.
• Direct influence on FedRAMP and compliance roadmap, contract vehicle strategy, partner ecosystem, and federal product direction.
• Close collaboration with experienced founders, security experts, and operators who understand both commercial and federal motions.
• Flexibility, autonomy, and the chance to build something from the ground up inside the federal market.
