About the Role:
Uber for Business is hiring a Account Executive, Federal to lead our federal practice across civilian and DoW accounts. This is a high-impact Enterprise sales role for someone who can both grow an existing business and help build the next phase of Uber for Business in the US federal market.
The federal market is not new to Uber for Business, and we are operating from a strong foundation. This role will build on that momentum by driving growth across our GSA BPA, expanding business with existing customers, and opening new opportunities with federal agencies. It is a true 50/50 role: part expansion, part new logo acquisition, with a mandate to own the segment and help scale the practice.
This person will also serve as the commercial lead for our DoW pursuits, partnering cross-functionally to advance complex opportunities from discovery through contracting, launch, and expansion.
What You Will Do:
- Own and grow a named book of federal business across civilian and DoW accounts
- Expand existing customer relationships while creating new agency opportunities
- Lead the federal practice with a strong focus on segment strategy, pipeline creation, and revenue growth
- Drive opportunities through the full sales cycle, including prospecting, discovery, business case development, procurement navigation, contracting, and launch readiness
- Build and manage relationships across finance, procurement, operations, program teams, and senior stakeholders
- Partner with BDR, proposal, legal, compliance, finance, product, and operations teams to move deals forward
- Use the GSA BPA to accelerate adoption and shorten sales cycles
- Help refine the federal GTM motion by identifying repeatable use cases, messaging, and target account strategies
- Balance short-term wins with longer-cycle strategic pursuits
- Own forecast discipline and segment-level commercial judgment
What We Are Looking For:
- 7+ years of quota-carrying enterprise sales experience
- Strong background in US federal sales, ideally across multiple agencies
- Experience with GSA programs, including BPA-based selling and contract vehicle navigation
- Familiarity with consumption-based products or services
- Proven ability to manage both expansion and new logo motion
- Demonstrated success selling into complex, multi-stakeholder environments
- Experience working across multiple federal agencies
- Comfort owning an entire segment and operating with broad accountability
- A strong existing network, especially within finance-adjacent government roles
- Experience in tech sales and in environments where the motion is still being built
Preferred Attributes:
- Deep understanding of federal buying behavior and procurement processes
- Experience leading or supporting DoW pursuits
- Strong cross-functional leadership and communication skills
- Ability to operate with urgency in a still-maturing market
- Track record of turning early wins into repeatable growth
Why This Role:
This is an opportunity to help shape Uber for Business’s federal practice at an important inflection point. We are not starting from zero, but there is still significant room to build. The right person will bring enterprise rigor, federal fluency, and the ability to create durable growth across civilian and DoW business.
If you are excited by the chance to lead a segment, grow a market, and help define what success looks like, this role is built for you.
