Sales Manager, Federal Practice 

Our client is building and scaling its Federal business and is hiring a Federal Sales Manager to own growth across Federal accounts, with a focus on selling through GSA schedules and Federal integrators, navigating clearance/compliance requirements, and driving a disciplined pipeline in a longer, more complex Federal sales cycle. This leader will help shape strategy and execution as our client expands further into solutions/consulting (in addition to traditional staffing), including emerging offerings tied to AI-enabled solutions.

What You’ll Do:
  • Own and grow the Federal book of business, including identifying target agencies, prime partners/integrators, and funded opportunities.
  • Drive opportunity generation across: GSA-based selling;          Federal integrators/partner ecosystem
  • Bid/RFP-based pursuits (including capture support where applicable).
  • Lead the full sales cycle—qualification, solutioning, pricing, proposal coordination, negotiation.
  • Serve as the go-to leader on Federal clearance, compliance, and delivery considerations; “understand it and walk the talk.”
  • Partner closely with a strong recruiting and delivery organization (15–20 recruiters; ~50–60 total employees) to ensure execution aligns with client expectations and contract requirements.
  • Support our client’s continued evolution into solutions space (deployments, augmentation, project work), staying ahead of the curve on innovation/AI in the staffing/workforce solutions landscape.
  • Represent the firm externally—client meetings, on-sites, and relationship development (car allowance/cell allowance provided).

What you need:
  • Proven track record leading sales of staffing/workforce solutions in the Federal sector (prime, subcontract, or integrator/channel model).
  • Strong working knowledge of: Security clearances and clearance-driven recruiting/delivery constraints;  Federal compliance requirements and the realities of Federal   contracting
  • Long-cycle and bid-driven sales motions.
  • Comfortable in a build phase—newly created role, high expectations, and the chance to define structure/process.
  • Relationship-forward, credible executive presence; able to influence internally and externally.
