Requirements • 8+ years of experience in B2G sales, ideally within intelligence, law enforcement, defense, homeland security, cybersecurity, OSINT, data intelligence, or investigative technologies. • Proven experience selling directly to European Intelligence Agencies, Law Enforcement, Defense, or National Security customers. • Demonstrated track record of closing complex, high-value, and multi-year government contracts. • Strong existing network within the European intelligence, law-enforcement, defense, or security ecosystem. • Deep understanding of government procurement, tenders, POCs, budget cycles, and complex stakeholder environments. • Highly autonomous and results-oriented, with the ability to take full ownership of a territory and deliver measurable revenue outcomes. • Strong hunter mentality with the ability to create opportunities, open new accounts, and drive deals forward without requiring a large supporting organization. • Ability to move fast, prioritize effectively, and execute in a fast-paced, high-growth environment. • Strong executive communication, negotiation, and relationship-building skills. • Ability to operate effectively across multiple European countries, cultures, and procurement environments. • Fluent English required; additional European languages are a strong advantage. • Willingness to travel frequently across Europe.
