Federal Cloud Account Executive

Oracle Oracle · Enterprise · Reston, VA +1

This role is for a Federal Cloud Account Executive at Oracle, focused on selling cloud, data, and AI solutions to federal agencies. The primary responsibility is driving cloud adoption and digital transformation, acting as a trusted advisor, and managing the sales cycle. The role requires experience in technology field sales, understanding the federal marketplace, and developing growth strategies.

  2. Act as a trusted advisor and advocate for your clients, aligning Oracle Cloud solutions to support their unique missions and strategic objectives.
  3. Manage your territory throughout the entire sales cycle—including business development, prospecting, opportunity qualification, contract negotiation, and post-sales support.
  4. Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams across capture and business development, software, consulting, hardware, and partner organizations.
  5. Stay on the leading edge of technology, understanding data platform solutions, emerging AI capabilities, and DevSecOps models to deliver Oracle IaaS and PaaS solutions to mission-critical challenges.
