Employment Type
Full time

Base Operations is a high-growth threat intelligence platform that decodes the world's threat landscape into actionable security insights to protect people, assets, and operations around the world. Trusted by Fortune 500 companies and the U.S. Department of Defense, Base Operations empowers security teams to better assess threats, manage risk across their footprint, and make data-driven decisions using granular, street-level intelligence at global scale.
Backed by top-tier investors and built by startup founders, technologists, and national security experts, Base Operations combines cutting-edge AI, geospatial analytics, and BaseEngine, our proprietary global threat model. We deliver the clarity decision-makers need in an increasingly complex security environment. Guided by a mission to transform reactive security into proactive intelligence, Base Operations is redefining how organizations anticipate and respond to emerging threats.
Position Overview
At Base Operations, we build technology that helps protect people and strengthen mission readiness. As our first Director of Federal Sales, you will lead the strategy and execution that brings our security intelligence platform to the Department of Defense, Intelligence Community, and Department of Homeland Security.

You'll craft positioning that resonates with diverse federal audiences and ensures every conversation, from the Pentagon to Capitol Hill, connects to mission needs.
Your work will span from high-level strategic engagement to direct businessdevelopment: holding meetings with senior decision-makers, navigating acquisition pathways, and representing Base Operations as a thought leader and product evangelist at conferences, industry forums, and policy events. You will also manage and coordinate outsourced proposal writers, government affairs consultants, and lobbyists, ensuring our efforts are unified and targeted toward winning critical contracts.

Coordinate proposal development with outsourced writers and internal experts to deliver timely, compliant, and compelling submissions.
Navigate federal acquisition processes and contracting vehicles (SBIR/STTR, OTA, IDIQ, sole-source).
Relationship Building & Thought Leadership
Cultivate long-term relationships with senior decision-makers, influencers, and contracting officials at the Pentagon, federal agencies, and on Capitol Hill.
Represent Base Operations at federal industry days, conferences, and thought leadership forums, sharing insights on security intelligence trends and mission applications.
Partner with marketing and product teams to align messaging, demos, and features with federal mission needs.

Strong grasp of federal acquisition and procurement processes, including experience with contracting vehicles such as SBIR/STTR, OTA, IDIQ, and sole-source pathways.
Knowledge of federal security and compliance frameworks (e.g., CMMC, FedRAMP, ATO) and how to position solutions to win business while planning the path to compliance.
Experience developing and executing go-to-market strategies that incorporate channel partners and resellers to expand reach and accelerate adoption.
Proven capability to assess and recommend optimal entry points into the federal market, including engagement with organizations like DIU, DEFENSEWERX, HSWERX, and other innovation and prototyping pathways.
