Recorded Future is hiring an Account Director to own a strategic federal territory spanning Federal Financials, the Legislative Branch, and select Federal Civilian agencies.

You’ll own the full sales cycle from prospecting through close, building deep, multi-threaded relationships across cybersecurity, IT, program, procurement, and executive stakeholders while working with partners and internal teams to create and grow opportunities across the territory.
What You’ll Do as Account Director
- Build and execute a focused territory strategy, prioritizing the agencies, components, relationships, and opportunities with the greatest revenue potential.
- Audit inherited pipeline, re-engage customers and prospects, validate qualification and funding, and establish credible deal plans and forecasts.
- Generate net-new pipeline through direct prospecting, existing relationships, referrals, and federal partners.
- Own the full commercial relationship, from new-logo pursuit through renewals, upsells, and expansion, supported by Technical Account Managers, BDRs, Sales Engineers, Channel, and Field Marketing.
- Navigate federal fiscal cycles, Continuing Resolutions, procurement, contract vehicles, security reviews, and authorization requirements.
- Develop multi-threaded relationships across cyber threat intelligence, security operations, IT, program, procurement, and executive stakeholders.
- Apply MEDDPICC and value-based selling while maintaining accurate pipeline, qualification, next steps, and forecasts in Salesforce and Clari.
What You’ll Bring as Account Director
- 8+ years of direct, quota-carrying sales experience with US federal agencies, with a track record of creating pipeline, growing territories, and meeting or exceeding quota.
- Prior experience selling into US Department of the Treasury, Federal Reserve and Capitol Hill (Senate, House of Representatives, etc)
- Existing relationships across relevant federal agencies, components, procurement stakeholders, and partner ecosystems.
- Experience selling directly for a cybersecurity, data, SaaS, or adjacent technology provider.
- Strong knowledge of federal buying processes, fiscal cycles, procurement, contract vehicles, and authorization requirements.
- Experience leading complex, multi-stakeholder sales and translating technical capabilities, integrations, APIs, and intelligence data into mission and operational value.
- Strong operational discipline in Salesforce and Clari, or a comparable forecasting platform, within a highly data-driven sales environment.
- A builder mentality, commercial urgency, resilience, transparency, and comfort operating through change. Experience with federal financial agencies, the Legislative Branch, cybersecurity or threat intelligence, and acquisition or integration environments is preferred.

About this role
Recorded Future is seeking an experienced federal sales leader to build and own a strategic territory covering the Treasury Department, Federal Reserve, and Capitol Hill. This is a quota-carrying Account Director role focused primarily on net-new business, though you'll also manage renewals and expansion within an established customer base. You'll own the complete sales cycle—from prospecting through close—while building multi-threaded relationships across cybersecurity, IT, procurement, and executive stakeholders across federal financial agencies and the Legislative Branch.
Success in this role requires at least eight years of direct, quota-carrying federal sales experience, ideally with prior wins at Treasury, the Federal Reserve, or on Capitol Hill. You need deep fluency in federal buying processes, fiscal cycles, procurement vehicles, and security authorization requirements. Experience selling cybersecurity, data, or SaaS solutions directly is essential, as is the ability to translate technical capabilities and threat intelligence into operational value for complex, multi-stakeholder environments. Existing relationships across federal agencies and partner ecosystems are a significant advantage.
This is an in-office position in Washington, DC, offered as a contract role with a base salary range of $123,000 to $184,000, plus potential incentive compensation and equity. You'll work alongside Technical Account Managers, Sales Engineers, and Field Marketing teams within Recorded Future's 1,000+ person intelligence organization, which serves over 1,900 clients globally.
