Vantor is seeking a driven, results-oriented Senior Account Executive to lead our business with the U.S. Army’s operational force. The Army is standing up its next command and control architecture and pushing data, terrain, and decision tools to the tactical edge. Vantor’s spatial intelligence platform, Tensorglobe, and its mission solution, Operational Terrain, are in front of the programs driving that shift. This role turns those positions into programs of record.

This is a hands-on sales role focused on new business, with a 50/50 pay mix. You will own the Army operational account end to end: strategy, pipeline, capture, and the senior relationships that get programs funded.

This role owns Vantor’s business with the Army’s operational formations and the programs that equip them, including Army Western Hemisphere Command and its corps and divisions, PEO C3T and the Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2) program, PEO Soldier and Soldier Borne Mission Command, Operational Terrain programs for operational units under PEO IEW&S, and Army Futures Command and the Command and Control Cross-Functional Team. The role also owns Vantor’s relationships with industry partners integrating Vantor data and software into Army programs. Army intelligence customers are covered by a separate Account Executive, and the two roles coordinate closely where programs touch.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and execute a multi-year account strategy to establish Tensorglobe and Operational Terrain as programs of record across the Army’s operational force
• Lead capture on named pursuits, including NGC2, Operational Terrain for operational units, and Soldier Borne Mission Command, in partnership with product, engineering, pricing, and contracts
• Identify, qualify, and close new business across operational units, PEOs, and requirements organizations
• Build and maintain relationships with senior Army leaders, program managers, requirements owners, and operators, from the Pentagon and Austin to Fort Bragg and Aberdeen
• Navigate the Army’s non-traditional acquisition paths, including OTAs, Commercial Solutions Openings, SBIR Phase III, and the software acquisition pathway
• Manage industry partner relationships where partners carry Vantor capabilities into Army programs, protecting direct opportunities while growing the channel
• Maintain accurate pipeline and forecasting in Salesforce
• Translate operational unit needs into product requirements and roadmap input
• Represent Vantor at AUSA, Army technical exchanges, and customer engagements

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience
• Active TS clearance
• Based in or able to work hybrid in Herndon, VA
• 7+ years of experience selling software, data, or technology solutions to the U.S. Army or the Department of War, with a track record of meeting or exceeding quota
• Direct experience with Army acquisition, including at least one of OTAs, CSOs, SBIR Phase III, or the software acquisition pathway
• Ability to engage and influence general officers, PEOs, and program managers
• Experience leading capture on pursuits of $5M or more
• Ability to travel up to 50%

Preferred Qualifications

• Army operational background, particularly in mission command, intelligence, fires, or operations roles that used tactical C2 and geospatial systems
• Existing relationships within Army Western Hemisphere Command, PEO C3T, PEO Soldier, PEO IEW&S, or Army Futures Command
• Experience selling software platforms, not only data or services, into Army programs
• Familiarity with Army command and control modernization, including NGC2 and the data and terrain requirements behind it
• Experience working with or alongside non-traditional defense companies on Army programs

What Success Looks Like

• Consistently achieves or exceeds bookings targets
• Moves NGC2 and Operational Terrain pursuits from pilot to program of record
• Establishes Vantor as the terrain and spatial intelligence layer for the Army’s operational force
• Builds trusted relationships with the decision-makers and operators who will use what we sell
