Hunters only.

 

We’re not looking for someone to babysit a pipeline. We want a closer who wakes up wanting to win, opens doors nobody else can, and gets a charge out of turning a first meeting into a signed deal.

 

eTel is a fast-growing federal IT company with a strong foothold at the IRS and a recent long-term prime contract win at NIH (DHHS), and deep expertise in API integration, Identity and Access Management (IAM/ICAM), Zero Trust, and secure modernization. Now we’re going after new agencies, and we need someone to lead the charge.

 

Why eTel

  • Stock Appreciation Rights in a PE backed firm (Stock equity and ownership upside)
  • Competitive base plus performance incentives that reward winning.
  • A direct line to leadership, with no layers between you and decisions.
  • The chance to build something and see your fingerprints on the company’s growth.
  • Competitive benefits and real career growth.

 

What you’ll do

  • Break into new agencies. Treasury, HHS (NIH,CMS, CDC, FDA), DOW, DHS/CISA, VA, USDA, SSA, Commerce. Pick your targets, build the plan, and go get them.
  • Grow what we have. Expand our footprint at IRS and NIH.
  • Be in the market every day. Meet program offices, CIO/CISO teams, small business offices, and primes. Find the deals before the RFP drops.
  • Own the deal end to end. Find it, qualify it, build the teaming, shape the solution, and hand a winnable pursuit to proposals.
  • Make the call. Bring leadership sharp bid/no-bid recommendations, and know the difference between activity and real business.
  • Rally the team. Work hand in hand with leadership, technical, proposal, and delivery teams to win.

 

Your first 12 months

  • $20M in qualified pipeline across 3+ new agencies beyond IRS and NIH.
  • Real, active relationships at 2–3 new agencies.

 

You’re our person if you

  • Have 3+ years in federal BD, capture, or sales, ideally at a small or mid-sized federal IT firm.
  • Have opened new federal accounts yourself, not just grown existing ones.
  • Bring relationships at one or more civilian agencies or primes (tell us who in your application).
  • Know the federal buying cycle and the vehicles (IDIQs, GWACs, BPAs, GSA Schedules), and live in GovWin, SAM.gov, FPDS, and your CRM.
  • Run your own show. You don’t wait to be told what to chase.
  • Play well with others. You win with the team, not around it.
  • Care about the mission and want your work to make a real difference.

 

Bonus points: experience selling API, IAM/ICAM, Zero Trust, cyber, cloud, DevSecOps, data, or AI services; relationships at Treasury, HHS, DHS, or VA; ability to obtain a Public Trust.

 

Location: eTel HQ in Herndon, VA. This role is in person with customers and partners regularly, so we’re only considering candidates who already live in the DMV.
