At Jaxon, we are on a mission to make AI trustworthy. The adoption of large language models (LLMs) in corporate settings is hindered by the “hallucination problem,” where AI models produce inaccurate or entirely fabricated responses. For regulated industries and high-risk applications, this issue is preventing LLM use altogether. Based on R&D to meet the complex requirements and high-performance demands of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), Jaxon combines the power of large language models (LLMs) with formal logic, ensuring outputs are accurate, auditable, and compliant for critical data workflows. We are hiring a Federal Account Executive covering Defense & Intelligence accounts to grow Jaxon’s presence across the U.S. federal government. You will be responsible for owning and growing a defined federal territory by driving full-cycle sales execution across complex, mission-driven accounts. This role focuses on building trusted relationships within DoD and Intelligence Community organizations, shaping and qualifying opportunities, and leading pursuits from early capture through contract award. Beyond pipeline generation and deal execution, you’ll also help write and shape federal proposals, RFIs, and white papers — working hands-on with technical teams to bring compelling narratives to life. You’ll represent Jaxon at in-person industry events, customer meetings, and federal forums, helping position us as the premier solution for high-assurance AI. The basics of this role require: 5-10 Years Experience:

Consistently meets/exceeds revenue targets in complex enterprise or federal environments. Brings evidence of performance (numbers, deal sizes, cycles). Full-Cycle Deal Ownership:

Runs end-to-end sales execution: discovery, solution alignment, negotiation, and award/close. Can drive momentum across long, multi-stakeholder cycles. AI Ecosystem Proficiency: Demonstrated understanding of the federal AI ecosystem, including major government AI initiatives, defense and intelligence use cases, and key industry players DoW/Intelligence Experience:

Experience selling into DoW/IC or the defense ecosystem (primes/integrators) and understands how decisions get made. Comfortable with senior government and integrator stakeholders. Federal Acquisition Literacy:

Understands the basics of federal procurement and uses public opportunity signals to guide capture and outreach. Can work from notices/forecasts into actionable pursuits. Cross Functional Leadership:

Leads internal deal teams and coordinates inputs across proposals/capture, legal, and technical stakeholders. Capable of selling technically complex solutions with internal alignment. Clearance:

Active SECRET clearance required, TS/SCI strongly preferred. Soft Skills: Able to context switch as needed. Able to compartmentalize different campaigns with different goals. Able to communicate clearly and precisely. Misc: You must be based around or willing to commute to the Washington, D.C. metro area. We do a lot of exciting customer-facing work, so an eagerness for and enjoyment in communication is a must. Some experience in CRM platforms would be great. About Jaxon:
